She was an only child
|
With her body and mind she had to much attention
|
Too much of everything
|
She was an angel child
|
But the devil within her would test her on the way
|
|
Into the dark filled places underground
|
She entered in forbidden rooms
|
Only seventeen
|
|
All alone so alone
|
All alone so alone
|
|
Into the tunnel and back toward the light
|
That shines between the fingers of dark
|
The light that shines showing the way to the start
|
|
She was an only child
|
She had so far to fall then so far to climb
|
To get to the light again
|
She was a special child
|
She know what was coming but she know she could not turn
|
|
Back in the dark filled rooms
|
One of a crowd but more than on her own
|
|
All alone so alone
|
All alone so alone
|
|
Into the tunnel and back toward the light
|
That shines between the fingers of dark
|
The light that shines showing the way to the start
|
|
Only seventeen somewhere in between
|
|
The race is almost over now
|
The dance is almost done
|
Remember how it was when it was fun?
|
|
All alone so alone
|
All alone so alone
|
|
Into the tunnel and back toward the light
|
That shines between the fingers of dark
|
The light that shines showing the way to the start
|
