As unexpected fission in a far away foreign land 
You took away my heart 
But I couldn't take your hand 
Floating on the mist by a willow-lined lake 
You played the part of temptress 
Or was it just my mistake? 

To the backdrop of a chateau
And an antiquated mill 
You enchanted soul 
And I was captured until 
I realised that fate was never on my side 
Then you drifted out to view 
And the moments magic died 

Je croyais t'avoir vue
Je suis sur que je t'ai vue
Mais non, je sais que je t'ai vue
Je t'ai vu

I saw you in 

Or were you just a passing shadow 
Or were you just a passing dream 
Tell me, were you just a passing shadow
Or were you just a broken dream 

Or were you just a passing shadow 
Or were you just a broken dream
