The Hermit

It's been so long since I've been out there
Years in isolation
Staring at the path ahead
I freeze in hesitation

I don't dare to think of the past anymore
I'm dead to those places
Can't remember their ghostly faces
No, I'm not the sullen woman you knew anymore
I'm still unsteady, but I think I'm ready now

Writing this character
I'll be to the world (to the world)
Planning, scheming,
Dreaming my youth away

I'm safe and alone
In this secret cave I call home
I live in the shadows
Dream of rivers and meadows

But I don't dare to think of the past anymore
I'm dead to those places
Can't remember their ghostly faces
No, I'm not the sullen woman you knew anymore
I'm still unsteady, but I think I'm ready now

So I retreat to the trees
Breathe in the gentle breeze
I wander a forest of green
Of wild creatures unseen
I've lived a thousand lives
Hearing tales of the wild

Far below, I see a faint light
The wind begins to howl
I can hear a voice inside
"It's time to get back down"

Down the misty mountain I go
It's time
