If You Go Away - Peter Gilmore

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 If you go away 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 the sun We'll ride on the rain Will 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 If you go away If you go away If you go away If you go away If you go away As I know you must There'll be nothing left In the 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 dawn If I thought it might have kept me by your side If you go away If you go away If you go away Please don't go, away

(Reprise en anglais d'une chanson de Jacques Brel: Ne Me Quitte Pas) 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 When the day was young and the night was 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 We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind Then 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 will You must tell the world to stop turning Till 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 till 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 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 Please don't go away

(Brel / Schumann / To be free EP) 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...
