If You Go Away

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 night was long
And 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 feel up my hand
If you go away, if you go away
If you go away

If you go away as I know you will
Please tell the world to stop turning till
You return again if you ever do
For what good was love without loving you
Can I tell you now as I turn to go
I'd be dying slowly till 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
There'll be nothing left in
This world to trust
Just an empty wound full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
I have been the shadow of your shadow
If you might have kept me by your side
If you go away, if you go away
Please don't go away
