Your name sounded like "castle
new".
To a foreigner it may sound strange,
but the name really fit you.
Unfortunately, I had only a year with you.
Then I moved away
because I got other things to do.
You were a castle!
One could come to you.
One would always be welcome
and get a hug from you.
I always wanted to come back and
visit you.
I wanted to share memories
and hear about the news.
The years passed by. I had no money.
I have no time.
You lived so far away
and memories were far behind.
You were a castle!
One could come to you.
One would always be welcome
and get a hug from you.
Now I hear that it's too late.
You became ill and this was your fate.
I never came back just to say "hi".
I never got the chance to say good-bye.
You were a castle!
One could come to you.
One would always be welcome
and get a hug from you.
Now, this song is made for you;
for the warm and kind woman "castle new".
You will never hear me saying "hi".
But through this song, I want to say good-bye.
You were a castle!
One could come to you.
One would always be welcome
and get a hug from you.
