lyrics

WHEN YOU’RE NOT THERE

With the daylight comes the morning
With the morning comes your train
With your train there comes the leaving
With your leaving comes the pain
With the pain there comes the longing
To be with you again
Till the daylight brings the morning
And the morning brings your train

But when you go do trees stop growing
Are they silent when they fall
Does the world stop knowing
If waterfalls still really fall at all

What do I know
Why should I care
I only know that I stop living
When you’re not there (x2)

In my heart you have awoken
Dreams beyond compare
And depths beyond its feeling
And love beyond its care
With words so softly spoken
They melt upon the air
Into the silence they had broken
Into dreams beyond compare

But when you go are oceans quiet
Do they seethe and rage no more
Do mermaids dance at twilight
When no-one stands and watches from the shore

What do I know
Why should I care
I only know that I stop living
When you’re not there (x3)
