when you are all away
on these autumn day
then you might as well
take all my hopes away

all the birds that fly
in these mountains and blue sky
holding so much love for you
and deep within my hopes, rise high

when these days get young
and the nights are turning long
and the moon stares me still
and the breeze lull you my song

wish if you'd have stayed
we'd have made us a day
like no day has ever been
or would be ever again, I pray

we'd have walked in the sun
and soaked in the drenching rain
we'd have talk to the giant trees
and breathe in the green terrain

I’d then ride on you smile
and dive and sail on your touch
I’d gently talk to your eyes
and tell you I love so much

when you are all away
living in your beautiful land
leave me with just enough love
to hold me in and hold my hand

and by the hours I’ll tell
the world to stop turning
the breeze to stop flowing
and the birds to stop chirping

and wait in love till you return again
as I know, you will, you will always do
but what good is love when
its kept alive without loving you

there'll be everything but nothing left
in the world to trust and face
just a small world, an empty room
all alone and full of empty space

stayed without you, fell from your shadow
I am all lost, vague, without pride
and thinking, if I must have been with you
and you had kept me by your side

and I wonder if I can tell you now
as you are away and so away to go
I’ll be searching for you and dying slowly
till I hear you say your next hello
