Lyrics
If you go away on a summer day
Then your mind as well take the sun away
On the birds that flee, on a summer's sky
When the love was known, when the heart was high
When the day was young, when nights are long
When the moon stood still, but the night bird song
If you go away, if you go away
If you go away
But if you stay, I'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
I'll sail on the sun, I'll write on the rain
Will talk to the trees and worship the wind
But if you go, I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand
If you go away, if you go away
If you go away
If you go away, as I know you must
Please tell the world to stop turning 'til
You return again, if you ever do
For what good was love, without loving you
And I'm telling now, as I turn to go
I'd be dying slowly 'til the next low
If you go away, if you go away
If you go away
But if you stay, I'll make you a night
Like no night has been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile, I'll write on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes, then I'll learn so much
But if you go, I won't cry
Though the good has gone from the word goodbye
If you go away, if you go away
If you go away
If you go away, 'cause I know you must
I'd be nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty wound, with an empty space
An empty heart you see on your face
I have been the shadow in the dark
If I thought you might want me by your side
If you go away, if you go away
Please don't go away
