she wanders the house
from room to room
moonlight shines
in the dark gloom
a mist of a girl
from long ago
gone is everyting
she use'd to know
she checks on the family
all sound asleep
ponders, remembers
memories that seep
all faded now
like flowers that die
but when they sweep over
she mournfully cries
dawn breaks the clouds
she goes through the wall
doesn't know she's a spirit
she doesn't recall
eternity of guarding
the family that sleeps
this is her bidding
her promise to keep
