| Lyrics: | Note: The lines in italics are from the original song, but are not sung by Sarah.
Away
from you
There is no music,
There is no sunlight,
The world is gray.
Away from
you
The clocks are frozen,
And time's a traveller
Who's lost his way.
The
people I meet
Might as well be statues,
The words we exchange
Might as well be
Greek.
The room that I'm in
May be bright and cheerful
But to me
It's dim and
bleak.
I'm half alive
Until the moment
The door swings open
And you
walk through.
Now my world starts to glow
Like a stained-glass window
And what was old and cold
Is warm and new.
And so you see
Why I can never
be
Away from you.
Away from you
The world is lifeless
As though creation
Has gone awry.
The trees are bare,
There are
no flowers,
The fields are thirsty,
The streams are dry.
We live, you and I,
For a breath of sunlight,
So brief an escape
From a world of gray.
Our moments of warmth
Have been touch and go,
love,
But tonight, we'll touch
And stay.
The people I
meet
Might as well be statues,
The words we exchange
Might as well be Greek.
The
room that I'm in
May be bright and cheerful
But to me
It's dim and
bleak.
I'm half alive
Until the moment
The door swings open
And you
walk through.
Now my soul is afloat
On a wave of music
That I could feel such
joy
I never knew.
And so you see
Why I can never be
Away from you |
