In the room above mine
a girl has been living year and day
wears the thick carpet down
walking up and down the room
while crying, loudly so loudly.
Walks and cries such hot tears
Walks and never lets me enter.
Cries as if grieving,
softening up the old timber piling.
Teardrops seep through the ceiling
splash into my bed.
For all eternity, for all eternity
She is damned to wander
Until someone goes and frees her
Until someone goes and frees her
She must wander on, always wander on
The one time she went out
I went and scaled the wall.
Held tight to green kudzu
pushed open the casement window.
What I saw was pure horror,
for I was standing in her nightmare.
Everything was as black as tar
all walls and the floor
no color remained anywhere.
What fate was this girl suffering?
I didn't understand the world anymore.
For all eternity, for all eternity
She is damned to wander
Until someone goes and frees her
Until someone goes and frees her
She must wander on, always wander on
And she cries for all eternity
For all eternity, for all eternity
She is damned to wander
Until someone goes and frees her
Until someone goes and frees her
She must wander on, always wander on
