If You There Lyrics - Sting

Your beauty pulses like a distant star 

Once you were so near to me 

And now you've gone so far 

Wretched and affixed the word is in his stone [? ] 

Lying now don't move nor speak no statue here alone 

Living here just with a memory 

A simple recollection that's so dear to me 

You said it's logical that we should part 

What's pleasing to my intellect 

Must surely break my heart 

Man will always want what he can't have 

It's more than he can do just to be brave 

He seeks perfection in a thousand ways 

Just throw another shovel on his grave

Born to live 

Born to die 

Born to wonder 

Why, why, why, why 

If you there 

Would you leave me wondering? 

If you there 

Am I one man only? 

If you there 

Don't leave me wondering 

If you there 

Photos 

You say that all we have is what we see 

Baby all you understand is a little part of me 

You said that I could never be the one 

Promises evaporate in the angle of the sun 

If the only certain thing is death 

Walk a little nearer to it now with every breath 

And if this time must wear a velvet glove 

Then kindness and lies are the true friends of love 

Man will always want what he can't have 

It's more than he can do just to be brave 

He seeks perfection in a thousand ways 

Throw another shovel on his grave 

Born to live 

Born to die 

Born to wonder 

Why, why, why, why 

If you there 

Would you leave me wondering? 

If you there 

Am I one man only? 

If you there 

Don't leave me wondering 

If you there
