The Fair Maiden Cries Her Part

Sitting here, love’s far way

I’m tired of yesterday

Well I have drunk all of your wine

Now I’m standing on your time

No need to wash up a crime

Love’s falling fast asleep

Shame, it can’t stay on its feet

Mary’s always been alone

The axiom of sticks and stones

Falls down by my side

With the sun shining down the night

Falsehood on its side

Is such a tasteless sight

Mary runs for the hills

Smiles at a standstill

The kids come running

Locked in warning, not out of fear

I don’t want her back she can stay dear

The world came, time’s spent

I’m leaving you out of common sense
