Do You Know Me

Alas alas the time has passed
The world she knew was gone
She wandered here, she wandered there
For she knew of no one
Why could she not remember how she came into this world?
A ma? A pa? A brother dear?
Her voice she must make heard
So on and on she carolled from one stranger to the next
And as she went, her mind she bent and became so perplexed
None would stop to answer her, no, not one soul
Of who, and what, and why she was now stranded in this world
Do you know me?
Do you know me?
She watched as strangers passed
Do you know me?
Do you know me?
She stood in front a glass
Do you know me?
Do you know….
She stopped dead in her tracks
For what she saw, or couldn’t see
No one was looking back
