Match girl Songtext

Matchgirl

She left this morning about five o'clock
Head out for who-knows-where
She left her key hanging in the lock
Walked on out in the cold morning air
Somebody said she was meeting a man
They said she wasn't quite through
Somebody told me she was sick again
She had a couple things left to do

And now the secret she was keeping
Is one I will never know
You'd think she was only sleeping there
Lying in the snow

And she never once came home to me
She never said "hey wait a minute dad"
I was too busy on the road you see
I never knew it got so bad
She and her mother didn't get along well
They couldn't talk at all
She met a drummer with dreams to sell
Hanging out with her friends at the mall

And the secret she was keeping
Is one I will never know
You'd think she was only sleeping there
Lying in the snow

And you'd think she was only sleeping there
Lying in the snow
My little matchgirl

How did it all go so bad so fast
How did it all go so bad so fast
How did it all go so bad so fast
How did it all go so bad so fast

My girl
My little matchgirl
My little matchgirl
