Voices from the world behind
Killed the child inside
As she stood in the dying light
Of her childhood, very nice
Birthday, celebration time
Like stains on her burning mind
She remembered the love inside
Of the small things that happen sometimes
She's alone in the freezing cold
Counting the islands in the clean sky
She's alone and she feels so old
Erasing the nightmare from her clean mind
Broken, is the word she lost
Between the thin lines
Of the book she read last night
In her dark room, no lights
It fits her, she's very nice in her black dress, she wears
Again she remembered the love inside
Of the small things that happen
Sometimes
She's alone in the freezing cold
Counting the islands in the clean sky
She's alone and she feels so old
Erasing the nightmare from her clean mind
