I saw you walking
Only yesterday
When I ran to catch you
You disappeared and the street was gray

The candle died
Now you are gone
For the flame was too bright
Now you are gone

I heard you laughing
With your laugh of gold
When I called out to you
Silence returned and the air was cold

The castle fell
Now you are gone
No more rings the bell
Now you are gone

I found a letter
On the day it rained
When I tore it open
There in my hands only ash remained

The castle fell
Now you are gone
No more rings the bell
Now you are gone

I felt you breathing
As I fell asleep
When I reached out to touch you
No one was there and the night was deep

The candle died
Now you are gone
For the flame was too bright
Now you are gone

I saw you walking
Only yesterday
When I ran to catch you
You disappeared and the street was gray

The castle fell
Now you are gone
No more rings the bell
Now you are gone
