Abandoned Castle On The Hill

Share

There lives a pale woman of skin and bones

on the abandoned castle on the hill.

With glorious gowns and treasure that

men and dragons would battle for.

 

Some lonely nights I walk along the moonlit path

then suddenly I hear her laugh, sending shivers down my spine.

The wind carries the melancholy sound down

to the townsmen who live below.

 

Folktales of her are told to the children who misbehave

They say that during the summertime of each annum

there comes a symbol of youthfulness to live with the

pale woman of skin and bones on the abandoned castle on the hill.

 

Then the youthful light reflects on her and the castle.

The castle flourishes and the paleness leaves, but as autumn 

approaches, she bathes in the youthful glow of her guests

Those that enter never leave the abandoned castle on the hill.
