Alone Amongst the Stars

I had a dream
and in this dream a girl sat
shaking
crying
scared
she sat on a train
whispering to herself
dressed all in black
skin so pale
she was a sheet of white
with long dark hair
and tortured black eyes

as she stood
the girl began singing
she sang:
old souls take me away from here
my memories are my greatest fear
please old souls take me away from here
tell me I'll find love someday
encourage me to
rid myself of this black
tell me I have a beautiful smile
and you can't wait
until I can get my happiness back
tell me some boy will find me
and he will make me happy
tell me I'll find him in the night
and I won't be alone amongst the stars

now the girl stood up and danced
on the moving train
as she sang
and the moon was full
and as she sang
the birds went quiet
to listen
but you could always hear the wolves
you could always hear the wolves
as she sang out into the night
the wolves contribute to her light
the howls of freedom in the air
the sound of hope
among despair
and she sang:
old souls take me away from here
my memories are my greatest fear
please old souls take me away from here
tell me I'll find love someday
encourage me to
rid myself of this black
tell me I have a beautiful smile
and you can't wait
until I can get my happiness back
tell me some boy will find me
and he will make me happy
tell me I'll find him in the night
and I won't be alone amongst the stars

the next day I visited another state
I walked along the deserted tracks
of a train that crashed
several years ago
I saw a lonely wolf
drenched in tears
it was howling with a song
as she howled I listened
and these words I almost heard:
old souls take me away from here
my memories are my greatest fear
please old souls take me away from here
tell me I'll find love someday
encourage me to
rid myself of this black
tell me I have a beautiful smile
and you can't wait
until I can get my happiness back
tell me some boy will find me
and he will make me happy
tell me I'll find him in the night
and I won't be alone amongst the stars
