Lyrics
When You're Away
Verse 1
Love, when you're away from me
Love, when you are gone
There seems no reason
To carry on.
When are you coming back to me?
When will you return?
When will I find that
For which I yearn?
Now that love is over,
Now that love has died
Only a mem'ry
Walks by my side.
If there is no encore
If there's no reply
What is the purpose
Of such a life?
Chorus
Once you were my saviour,
Once you held my hand
But why you now forsake me
Is hard to understand.
Verse 2
Why did you stray from me?
Why did you depart?
You left a lonely
And empty heart.
Till you bring the sun back,
Till you come again
Day on day of darkness
Will never reach an end.
Since you took my whole world,
With you on your way
I wait among the shadows
In sadness every day.
Will you come again, love
To this lonely soul
And warm a life that's aching
And waiting in the cold?
Chorus
