Lyrics Emilíana Torrini

Emilíana Torrini

If You Go Away

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...
