You're Here But You're Gone

A Torch for an old time. Longer than I expected. I continue to learn about how to construct a song and put it together. My tools are a bit antiquated but it's been fun.

Verse 1
You came as a big surprise
Sweet words and those piercing eyes
I didn’t recognize
That those eyes were disguised
You lured me with a poem
And promised me a home
But how could I have known
I’d watch the sunsets alone
[Chorus
At first I was so fascinated
And so very captivated
Your rhymes took a new direction
And surrendered their affection
You’re here but you’re gone
Verse 2
We lived the life you made
The price was paid
I made my precious trade
I gave my heart away
Hearts can grow still and cold
The bonds will lose their hold
Fairy tales to be retold
Pain and loss consoled
Chorus
At first I was so fascinated
And so very captivated
Your rhymes took a new direction
And surrendered their affection
You’re here but you’re gone
Chorus 2
Love between us dissipated
So my spirit liberated
Fresh passage ways created
A new rhapsody awaited
You’re there and I’m gone
