All the birds that flew in the summer sky

Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand,

If you go away, as I know you will,

You must tell the world to stop turning til

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 your shadow if I thought it might.
Am
Have kept me here, by your side
C Dm E7/9- Am
If you go away, if you go away please don't go away.
