If You Go Away Lyrics - Scott 3 - Scott Walker

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 

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 

And 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 

As I know you will 

You must tell the world 

To stop turning, 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 

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 glide 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 

As I know you must 

There'll 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 have been the shadow 

Of your shadow 

If it might have kept me 

By your side
