Postlude
tone @foeon,
Like a comet Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon
Like a rainbow Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon
Shiny and sparkly And splendidly bright
Here one day Gone one night
Like the loss of sunlight On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon
Like a castle Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon
Like a perfect flower That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon
Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight Here one day Gone one night
Like a sunset Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon Gonetoo soon
