I said hello to a young man I saw

At the bank of Transylvania

He is a blond young man

That is what I did

Since you've been gone

Doing what you do

When you are gone

 

The young man was soft spoken

And he seemed very gentle

I wonder if he would lie

The way you have lied

Or hide himself

The way you hide

I don't believe he would do

All that you have done

 

I dream that perhaps

I could feel feelings for him

The way I did for you

Do for him

All that I once did for you

Would he tell me he loves me

The way that you once did

With tears

And would he break my heart

Has you have done

 

I said hello a young man

 I dreamed of him

And wished he were you

You, as I remember you

The dark haired, green eyed youth

Sad, and brooding

Hopeful, and lovely

Oh where have I chased you to

Away from me

In my miserable solitude

Deep in screaming loneliness

My friends are all dead

 

I can not feel

My body yearns for endless sleep

And quiet dreams of love I knew before

A love left battered and bleeding

Dead. Just like our love

That is no more

And will never be again

I said hello to a handsome young man

I made another smile

And another young man

I thought I saw blush

All of this

Since you have gone

To be where you must be

 

As if some unholy mystery

Abandoned, without a tomb stone

Knowledge of my name absent

-from memory

who shall ever think of me

Again? Gone, my world

Silent

Away for all eternity

I rest under tumble weeds

and flies
