You Just Went Away
2023© John Schofield

V1
The lights of the fishing boats
Sway and dance in the night
I stand on the balcony
Looking over the bight

V2
A sweet breeze is carrying
The scent of the ocean
And with it the memory
The joy, the emotion

Chorus:
A casual liaison, a mutual connection
A dance, a kiss, a night of bliss
And then early next day
You just went away

V3
It was a swift love affair
A short holiday song
Just a brief intertwining
And by dawn you were gone

Chorus:
A casual liaison, a mutual connection
A dance, a kiss, a night of bliss
And then early next day
You just went away
