*No One Dies In Lilydale Lilydale Driving through a misty autumn night I lost my way with no one in sight A ghostly town in the gloom appeared Eerie visions in a haunting light Old gingerbread houses on a silent street The night wind it starts to wail Not a soul about here to meet A signpost foretells of a strange tale Reading “no one dies in Lilydale” Each home had a strange shingle Reading them my spine did tingle Talk you lost love step this way We speak with the dead every day Over forty signs on every picket gate Lilydale is the center of the spirit talkers My soul was troubled I had lost my love If only I could speak with her from up above How I would say what had been missed Her perfect loving and her sweet kiss Trembling as I knocked on the door An aged wrinkled woman I saw Come here my son come in from the rain Your love shall speak to you once again We sat on her sofa she took my hand She said your love is here Beside you she does stand You two will meet again When your time on earth is done Now you must take care of your young son Do everything that you can To bring him up to be a good man I could feel her, she is close to me My terror is gone I lose my fears My eyes are streaming loving tears I say I love you honey please don’t go Please stay with me how I need you so The old lady said your love has gone I drive away out of the misty place Tears still streaming down my face My task is now renewed My son I will never fail You know that no one dies in Lillydale*

Lily Dale was incorporated in 1879 as Cassadaga Lake Free Association, a camp and meeting place for Spiritualists and Freethinkers. The name was changed to The City of Light in 1903 and finally to Lily Dale Assembly in 1906. The purpose of Lily Dale is to further the science, philosophy, & religion of Spiritualism.[1] Lily Dale is a hamlet located in the Town of Pomfret on the east side of Cassadaga Lake, next to the Village of Cassadaga. Located in southwestern New York State,[2] it is one hour southwest of Buffalo, halfway to the Pennsylvania border. Lily Dale's year-round population is estimated to be 275. Each year approximately 22,000 visitors come for classes, workshops, public church services and mediumship demonstrations, lectures, and private appointments with mediums.[3] In recent years, guest lecturers have included Lisa Williams, Dee Wallace, members of "Ghost Hunters," Tibetan monks, James Van Praagh, Dr. Wayne Dyer, and Deepak Chopra.
