Erasure
What Will I Say When You’re Gone?
[Verse 1: Andy Bell]
I'll go check in the morning
A kind of silent falling
Watch the sunrise all alone

[Verse 2: Andy Bell]
And I wanna be with you
And feel your gentle breathing
It can't be easy on your own

[Verse 3: Andy Bell]
And it matters to be here
Got something I believe in
I'm not sure what I should do

[Verse 4: Andy Bell]
Now it's six in the morning
And all our lives are calling
It's precious; it won't wait for you

[Pre-Chorus: Andy Bell]
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
[Chorus: Andy Bell]
I don't wanna go crazy
And still the world keeps turning
Turn around and walk away (Turn and walk away)
And the hours are fading
There is no more persuading
No more words will make you stay (No words will make you stay)

[Pre-Chorus: Andy Bell]
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 (Drowning in the ocean)

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
I don't wanna go crazy
And still the world keeps turning
Turn around and walk away (Turn and walk away)
And the hours are fading
There is no more persuading
No more words will make you stay (No words will make you stay)

[Post-Chorus: Andy Bell]
Where did it go
When time goes by so slowly?
And how will I know
You'll be here when I need you?
[Outro: Andy Bell]
