Song Writing & Lyrics

Foresight Dreams - What do you think of these lyrics?

Hi there,

I've just written this song and would like to get some feedback about the lyrics. Especially I would like to know, if there are any major linguistic flaws, for I am not a native speaker.

Thanks in advance,
Markus

Foresight Dream

On my way back home from London
at the train station just as I come by
an old lady somehow familiar meets my eye.
And I have to look once more.
Though I try, can’t ignore
that I’ve seen her before.

I’ve seen her before in a haunting dream
that reappears every night.
An all too real horrible nightmare scene
that fills me with fright every time.

Just as in my dream she’s reading.
And I also remember her odd gown.
As her book slips and falls to the platform she bents down.
Tries to reach her text.
I’m paralysed, like hexed,
knowing what comes next.

I’ve seen it before in that dreadful dream,
that reappears every night,
how in her attempt to pick up that book
she fell off the platform and died.
So far now she seems to be standing firm.
Yet I know that she will slide.

I pick myself up, jump in her way,
try to grab hold of her.
Being appalled by my attack
she steps aside straight towards the rails.

Now that I see her lying there dead on the rails,
my memory is blurred.
Was it really her...

...who I’ve seen before in my foresight dream
that now stopped to reappear?
And what forced the lady towards the edge
has in my dream never been clear.
Have I all the time been the very one
who drove her there from the rear?
And if so, could she now be still alive
if I did not interfere?
