Somewhere on a lonely road there's silence
Where the sunset spreads the darkness up the path
Twisting round the bend
On the path a darkened figure walks
Alone and shadowed by the moon
Through the night remaining silent
Speaking once a day to ask the way
Smiles when asked where she came from
"I can't tell you, you'll just twist my words"
Then turns and sets off on another road
Twisting, lonely road is calm
The only sound she hears are crickets talking to the owls
Somewhere in the trees
Looking to the stars for guidance
Somewhere past the trees she lost the moon
Stumbling blindly through the darkness
Begging for the madness to leave soon
Angry at the world around
With no one there to hear the cry
And many reasons left to leave.
Twisting, winding
Blind with rage
As she left home
She felt misunderstood
And hit the road to nowhere
Looking for a person with a soul
Twisting dark road
Once a river flowed here
Now it's dry
But in a clearing there's a little spot to rest
And search for one good place to go
Twisting round to see the sunrise
It's just another day
As she wakes, she starts to wonder
If she might find a way
A way to cure the madness that's raging through her head
"All I want is peace of mind and a place to rest", she said
Rising up, she presses onward into the blazing red
On the path she'll find her calling
Making friends who, like her, love the moon
Through their eyes she'll break her silence
Confident that she'll be happy soon
Smiles when asked which way she came from
"I'm not much for words but I can tell you that I found it in the sky", she said.
