What Will I Say When You're Gone? - Erasure

(Clarke / Bell)

I'll go check in the morning

A kind of silent falling

Watch the sunrise all alone

And I wanna be with you

And feel your gentle breathing

It can't be easy on your own

And it matters to be here

Got something I believe in

I'm not sure what I should do

Now it's six in the morning

And all our lives are calling

It's precious; it won't wait for you

What'll I do, what will I say when you're gone?

In this emptiness emotion

Will it hurt when you walk out the door?

Fall asleep like drowning in the ocean

I don't wanna go crazy

And still the world keeps turning

Turn around and walk away

And the hours are fading

There is no more persuading

No more words will make you stay

What'll I do, what will I say when you're gone?

In this emptiness emotion

Will it hurt when you walk out the door?

Fall asleep like drowning in the ocean

I don't wanna go crazy

And still the world keeps turning

Turn around and walk away

And the hours are fading

There is no more persuading

No more words will make you stay

Where did it go

When time goes by so slowly?

And how will I know

You'll be here when I need you?
