Walker, Scott - If You Go Away Lyrics






If you go away
On this summer 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
And 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 sail the sun
We'll ride on the rain
And talk to the trees
And worship the wind

Then if you go
I'll understand
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, turning
'til you return again
If you ever do
For what good is love
Without loving you?
Can I tell you now
As you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly
'til the next hello

But if you stay
I'll make you a night
Like no night has been
Or will be again
I'll sail on your smile
I'll glide on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes
That I love so much

But if you go
I won't cry
Though the good is gone
From the word goodbye

If you go away
As I know you must
There'll be nothing left
In this world to trust
Just an empty room
Full of empty space
Like the empty look
I see on your face
And I'd have been the shadow
Of your shadow
If it might have kept me
By your side

    行かないでーはPlease Don't Goかと思っていましたが、MR.Scott WalkerのIf You Go Awayを聴いていて何とも言えない切なさがあります。又、彼は、残念な事に今年の3月に天国へ行ってしまわれたと知り、前にも増して寂しさが込み上げてきて毎日、聴いております。他の多くのアーティストの方が歌っておられますが、やるせない寂しさを感じるアーティストはスコット氏が一番と思います。 どうぞ安らかにお休み下さいますよう…………(**_;(_**;(*_*;

    There are many version of the song, but Scott owned it. His rendition will be played for years to come and appreciated. Wow, what a talent. RIP.

  5. L.... N....

    The best version! !!

  6. S.... H....

    GOD BLESS YOU SCOTT!

    The pain and emotion that Scott can put into a song speaks for my heart and I'm sure many others. A true master with a voice that words cannot describe, I will miss him very much and am so grateful that his music is still here to enjoy. Saw him live many, many years ago and although I couldn't always appreciate his later work he will always have a place in my life. Rest in peace, Scott.
    Many thanks for the hard work in tracking down and making available all these songs. (Just love the version from his show by the way).

    Best version, hands down. Nice video too.

  10. C.... Y....

    Sandie Shaw did a fantastic version in French!

  11. C.... M....

    Love this version! Doesn't beat Dusty Springfield's which I think is the definitive one! Best male version for sure though!

    C.... M....

    Jack Jones does the best version in my mind.

  12. P.... O....

    RIP Scott.

  13. G.... M....

    Magnifique reprise du grand Jacque brel j'en suis ému

    G.... M....

    Julio Iglesias for me

  14. K.... W....

    😔❤️

  15. j.... p....

    Nice.......but it ain't Brel!

    j.... p....

    That vid of brel sweating profusely and smiling sadly is the most heart wrenching thing I've ever seen, and I'm old...I just can't imagine anything ever topping it

    j.... p....

    I hope my original comment isn't seen as a criticism, especially in the light of today's news about SW's passing.
    I have admired his work for most of my life, and will continue to do so.
    RIP Scott Walker, we'll definitely never see your like again.

  16. D.... J....

    Can’t beat Frank Sinatra’s version

  17. j.... j....

    No big deal, but there's a tiny error in the lyrics - "...if YOU might have...", not "...it..." Okay, as you were...

  18. M.... R....

    A really good version. The best ? I do not look at it in those terms. I love this though.

  19. j.... j....

    Brel must have rated this version...

  20. B.... H....

    Nice version but I prefer Julio Iglesias version

  21. �.... �....

    Вечная песня!Вечная тема!

    Best version.
