"If I Leave"
If I leave, somebody else will love you
But nobody else could forgive me
Quite as often as you
No-one on this street knows
No-one in this mall knows
No-one in this bar knows
And none of my friends know
Surely, none of my colleagues
Nor do my family
If I leave, somebody else will find you
But nobody else could see me
Quite as clearly as you, you, you
Only you know, I've let only you know
How I ride through a tunnel
And it's dark the whole way
I ride through a tunnel
It's been dark the whole way
I ride through a tunnel
It's still dark the whole way
I couldn't lose you
How could I lose you?
I couldn't lose you
For if I lost it, somebody else will cheer you
But who else could love me
Quite as kindly as you?
Who could love me
Quite as kindly as you?
You
