Verse 2:

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

Verse 3:

I found your 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

Verse 4:

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

(repeat verse 1:)

Verse 1:

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
And no more rings the bell
Now you are gone
