Lyrics:

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, 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
        We'll 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
I'd have been the shadow of your dog
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
