What's this song about?

1
As I try to tell this story my skin's no longer tight
2
As if it wants to leave and get away from me
3
But I've lived through this night of fright
4
And found real signs of other life
5
In disbelief I'll tell you what I've seen
6
It started out as simply normal driving in my car
7
Taking in the world and marveling the stars above
8
When a woman out of nowhere appeared to be in need
9
So I stopped to reach a helpful friendly hand
10
But something wasn't right
11
She wouldn't speak at all but I felt this urge to help her
12
As I told the girl to please get in my car
13
She looked on the verge of death pure white and freezing cold
14
So I placed my coat around her fragile arms
15
In a couple minutes time her face showed signs of life
16
She finally spoke and asked to take her home
17
She gave to me an address I assured her to relax
18
For in minute's time she'd be there safe and warm
19
As I came across her cottage my hitchhiker was home
20
She thanked me so and walked up through the door
21
As I turned to pull away I remembered of my jacket
22
She wore it as she struggled to stay warm
23
I left my car and rang the bell thinking she'd be waiting
24
Instead I got the mother of my girl
25
She said that she'd been waiting and not to say a word
26
And down a narrow hall she took my hand and led the way
27
We stopped in a tiny room that looked as if un-lived
28
All around sat pictures of my stranger's face
29
But the borders they were black, the signature of death
30
She informed me that my passenger was dead
31
I didn't believe a word, she was sitting right beside me
32
Only minutes back riding in my car
33
She took my hand and led me back outside and through a gate
34
To a private cemetery in the yard
35
On a grave there sat a picture of my unexpected guest
36
From the grave I learned she died some time ago
37
She said, in stranger's cars her daughter finds a ride
38
For an accident had brought her to the ground
39
And every night she comes home to please her lonely mother
40
It's an instinct from the time she spent on earth
41
But she is gone, she assured me death had come
42
And this ghostly image was living on in my mind
43
I told her to cherish her spirit
44
She just sat and cried at the grave
45
I told her to cherish her spirit
46
She just sat and cried at the grave
47
In the cold she was in mourning at the passing of her child
48
So I felt the need to leave and let her be
49
But I stopped to quickly question, who was my freezing stranger?
50
She was the perfect image of the girl
51
As I turned to leave the madness I caught a flash of something
52
It was sticking out from underneath the grave
53
In a shocking revelation I became at one with death
54
As instantly I learned the woman spoke the truth
55
For in the grave before me my jacket in the ground
56
The one I gave my stranger on this night, this very night
57
She was my stranger, yet she was dead
58
Familiar stranger, familiar stranger
