I saw you in the morning, slept with me you did last night,
A tear in your eye but you did not cry, a time for goodbye.
The sun was shining bright, i saw you last night beneath a full moons light,
The bed has cob webs, only a trace of where once a smile rested beside me.
Love was as i once loved, forever was today and tomorrow never knew,
Where did you go Mathilda,? where are you now, why did you forget.
A cool breeze visits an open window, the stars hide within the searching clouds,
I saw you last night as i drifted beyond a dream, when i awoke, there was only me.
Where did you go Mathilda,? why did you go away, where did you go Mathilda.?
Why was it you could not stay.

“The bed has cob webs, only a trace of where once a smile rested beside me.” I especially like this image. Really gives the sense of loss.
I really love “The bed with cob webs..” image as well! To my forever musical ears, your sweet Mathhilda simply waltzed away…:) It had nothing to do with you…’twas her Destiny, you see…
Love this!!
Thanks so much
