Disappearance Waltz - Edited

She wished it so hard,
she disappeared
without a trace;
emptied her space.
We went to dance
and when we returned
she was gone;
she was gone.

We looked everywhere;
we called the police.
They filed a report;
a photo was sought.
She didn’t leave clues,
she just wasn’t there;
she was gone;
she was gone.

But the band played on
and we danced ‘til dawn
by the light of the moon,
even though it was June;
the evening was warm
and the band played on.

She never appeared,
and despite the reward,
no one was caught;
her mum's still distraught.
Posters went up
all around town
but she was gone;
she was gone.

There was no sign,
only fading memories.
It was as though
she was a ghost.
We cried at her grave
that never was filled;
she was gone;
she was gone.

Still the band played on
and we danced ‘til dawn
by the light of the moon,
to old fashioned tunes;
we felt so young
as the band played on.
