lyrics

The night saw the candles
the evening, dry
She holds her dreams so tight
but we are not asleep.

The mouse, called by the cat
got out of its bed
and on a tiny square,
in a small town
they heard each other out.

This is how you wear your crown
They'll all fall down
once they've found out, what you can
do with your charms,
"Oh my darling, 'course I know, you're right
oh, and have a good night,”
yeah, have a good night.

The night saw the candles
the evening, dry
Oh, and all she dreams of, beneath us
I hope I'll never feel.

This is how we all fell down -
our beloved clown -
once we'd found out, there's not
much you see harm in,
“Oh my darling, you too,
shine so bright,”
Oh, the silver lining
on this doomed night.

Oh, and I stand by
Wishing you drew the line here
but I'm just a friend
and even to me, you lie.

Maud Scheltinga Berlin, Germany

Over the past couple of years, Maud has interpreted and re-interpreted the world around her by means of her songs, which act as short stories. Listening to her music feels like listening to a bookshop owner taking different (but equally beloved) books off the shelf and dazzling you with short and direct anecdotes that offer you a peek inside.
