If You Go Away

Emiliana Torrini - If You Go Away

[03:36.57][03:33.82][03:01.53][02:55.46][02:52.76][02:50.09][02:13.71][02:11.19][02:08.08][01:35.62][01:29.59][01:26.94][01:24.20][00:48.14][00:45.07][00:42.33][00:10.00]If you go away

On this summer day

Then you might as well

Take the sun away

All the birds that flew

In the summer sky

When our love was new

And our hearts were high

And the day was young

And the night was long

And the moon stood still

For the night bird's song

[00:50.70]But if you stay

I'll make you a day

Like no day has been

[01:00.00]Or will be again

We'll sail the sun

We'll ride on the rain

And talk to the trees

And worship the wind

Then if you go

I'll understand

Leave me just enough love

To fill up my hand

As I know you will

You must tell the world

To stop turning, turning

'til you return again

If you ever do

For what good is love

Without loving you?

Can I tell you now

As you turn to go

I'll be dying slowly

'til the next hello

I'll make you a night

Like no night has been

I'll sail on your smile

I'll glide on your touch

I'll talk to your eyes

That I love so much

But if you go

I won't cry

Though the good is gone

From the word goodbye

As I know you must

There'll be nothing left

In this world to trust

Just an empty room

Full of empty space

Like the empty look

I see on your face

And I'd have been the shadow

Of your shadow

If it might have kept me

By your side
