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 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.
