It's all in the title...

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 hearts were young
And our love was high

Leave me now, as you turn to go
And the night burns long
For the night bird song
If you go away , if you go away, if you go away

But if you stay
I'll make you a day
Like no day has ever been
Or will be again
I'll sail on the sun
I'll ride on the rain
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, if you go away, if you go away

If you go away As i know you will
You must tell the world to stop turning til
You return again, If you ever do
For what good is love.... With out loving you

Can i tell you now
As you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly
Till your next hello
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away,

But if you stay
I'll make you a night
Like no night has ever been
Or will be again
I'll sail on you smile
I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes
That i love so much
then if you go
I wont cry
For the good has gone from the word goodbye
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away, if you go away

If you go away
As I know you must
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 you might have kept me by your side
If you go away, if you go away
Please don't go away.....

  • Dude's voice is second to none for me.

  • @BlackSabbathory Dax is without a doubt one of the most underrated artists of the last 20 years... from acid bath, to Agents to deadboy to his solo work. . . ALL of it is just incredible... in fact if it weren't for Dax's cover songs I never would have heard of Neutral Milk Hotel, Richard Thompson or Leonard Cohen to name a few. . .

  • This is amazing. Where can you find this version of the song? All of the ones I have found have tons of noise from the crowd.

  • @rvtbehemoth Honestly.... I got this from SkeletalCircus com ... which has since been taken down by its administrator... but if you message me your email addy... i will happily send it on to you....

  • Deep people do everything deeply. Fuck the haters, go listen to someone babble about their flashy jewelry. He sounds amazing, you have to feel it before you can hear it.

  • @Miked4doom Thanks for the info bro. Great recording. Going to see Dax next week in Chapel Hill!

  • I absolutely love this man's voice

  • his love for scott walker brought this on im sure

  • I hate to say this since I've been a fan for over 10 years but this is awful. I saw him in columbus some years ago and he personally told me he was "exploring techno/industrial music"...I didn't take him seriously but...

  • @GoneAsGoneCanBe I found Bonnie "Prince" Billy through Dax and many, many others! He has an amazing way of covering a song and really pulling you in to his music.
