Hallucinations

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

And 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

And no more rings the bell

Now you are gone

I felt you breathing as I fell asleep

When I reached 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
