She was standing there with the cold wind in her hair
And her upturned hands cupped the darkness of despair
And she walked the world alone
To the past she was completely sewn
And a vision of her man floated in the air

She screamed into the night
'Can't anyone see that this ain't right?'
Though she's by herself in the darkness on the hill

She can hear them calling, 'Come back home'
She can't escape no matter where she roams
Their voices in her head
The cries when she put them to bed
Said she'd always be there but now everybody's gone

They laughed in the night
Come on you all hold on tight
But it was taken all when he woke them, they all took flight

'Hey, don't you lie there alone in the night
'Hey, come on home it'll be alright
'We all love you here
'Our love is waiting for you dear'
She opens her eyes and the world is only clear

And now she is slowly on the run
Following each day the setting sun
Is she trying to find them
Or moving only to stay numb?
She'll keep walking until her last day's done

'Oh, why?
'Oh', you hear her sigh
'She's a mad old woman', they say as she passes by
