Trail of Tears
A little girl of ten went lost in the woods
A witch had beckoned her to come
The search would last for only three days
For it proved too hopeless for some
The legend tells that the little girl died
While trying to find her way home
Her spirit now dwells in this forest still lost
Cursed forever to roam
When the moon shines full wailing is heard
And a song with a mournful tune
She sings of the witch who stole her soul
By the light of the lonesome moon
The people of the village would lock their doors
And wait for her song to begin
For it's said she would wander the village at night
Checking doors and trying to get in
Her quest for peace still happens today
For her journey has gone on for years
She cries in the night for a place she can rest
While leaving a trail of tears
