If You Take Your Love Away - Johnnie Taylor

I am looking for an inspiration And I think I found it in your heart It's the kind of thing you get when you're not looking It's the kind of thing you had from the start Put me on a ship that is sinking On a voyage to an untamed land Take away the freedoms I wanted I understand Please, don't take your love away from me Don't take your love away from me Please don't take your love away from me Please don't take your love from me Please don't take your love from me Put me inside flesh that is dying A ghost that wanders without rest Burned by desires and weakness I understand Please, don't take your love away from me Don't take your love away from me Please don't take your love from me Please don't take your love from me Hmmmmmmmm Hmmmmmmmm

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

Put your lips close to mine As long as they don't touch Out of focus, eye to eye 'Til the gravity's too much And I'll do anything you say If you say it with your hands And I'd be smart to walk away But you're quicksand This slope is treacherous This path is reckless This slope is treacherous And I, I, I like it I can't decide if it's a choice Getting swept away I hear the sound of my own voice Asking you to stay All we are is skin and bone Trained to get along Forever going with the flow But you're friction This slope is treacherous This path is reckless This slope is treacherous I, I, I like it Two headlights shine through the sleepless night And I will get you, get you alone Your name has echoed through my mind And I just think you should, think you should know That nothing safe is worth the drive And I would follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home This hope is treacherous This daydream is dangerous This hope is treacherous I, I, I I, I, I I, I, I Two headlights shine through the sleepless night And I will get you, get you alone Your name has echoed through my mind And I just think you should, think you should know That nothing safe is worth the drive And I will follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home This slope is treacherous I, I, I like it
