Hi, it's me, Arthur
And they let me call you to see if you come back
'Cause I, I want you here
And I don't want you to go
If you go away on a sunny 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
But if you stay, I'll make you a day
Like no day has been, or will be again
We'll ride on the rain, I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes, that I love so much
And if you go, go, I won't cry
Though the good is gone from the word goodbye
If you go away, ne me quitte pas, 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 dark
I thought it might have kept me by your side
If you go away
