You Went Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I always will remember, those days and nights we shared
And then without a warning
You up and left
You always were a dreamer, wanting more from life
Like a moth you were attracted to the California lights
If I can't be with you, please send a letter to me
Oh you went away - yes you went away
Oh you went away - yes you went away
To Hollywood
The nights we spent together, looking up towards the moon
I didn't think you'd be leaving quite so soon
You went to all the movies, collected all the magazines
You wanted to be with them, up there on the screen
I hope that you find what you wanted and
They're kind to you
Oh you went away - yes you went away
Oh you went away - yes you went away
To Hollywood
I'll be there at the station, if you should return
That is if your pride don't get to hurt.
Solo
Oh you went away - yes you went away
Oh you went away - yes you went away
To Hollywood
