Emiliana Torrini If You Go Away lyrics

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 nights were long
And the moon stood still for the night bird's 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
We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain
And talk to the trees and worship the wind

But if you go, I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away

If you go away as I know you will
You must tell the world to stop 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

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 ride 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

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away

If you go away as I know you must
There is 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 been the shadow of your shadow
If you might have kept me by your side

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
