She wanders, desperate, searching in the dark.

Unseeing eyes cast up at tow'ring trees

She combs her tired brain for one last spark.

-

The age-old woods around her seem so stark.

She stares at winter's mark upon the leaves

She wanders, desperate, searching in the dark.

-

Insanity, she's ready, on her mark

She's done with life that's forced her to her knees

She combs her tired brain for one last spark.

-

She floods the ground with tears and builds her ark.

She'll leave this life if she can find the seas.

She wanders, desperate, searching in the dark.

-

Her voice becomes the singing of a lark

Now words no longer form her haunting pleas

She combs her tired brain for one last spark.

-

This place, by day a lovely wooded park,

Her traps by night, her body long at ease.

She wanders, desperate, searching in the dark

She combs her tired brain for one last spark.
