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
