Perspective Songtext
von Bob Lind

What if you leave me?
The faithful moon will keep on rising
Stars will shimmer, birds will fly
The nights will fall and years will slide across me
When you leave me
I′ll still wake up, I'll still grow old
And close the door against the cold
The same red plastic cups will hold my coffee

The world will still go on
The world won′t know you're gone


What if you leave me?
The setting sun will still be casting
Emerald highlights on the grass
The ordinary days will pass without you
When you leave me
Across the world the Chinese rain
Will drop on thirsty fields and plains
And no one there will dream in vain about you

The world will still go on
The world won't know you′re gone

What if you leave me?
These bolts will hold this chair in place
This soft and silky pillowcase
Will yield the imprint of your face eventually
When you leave me
The spring will turn the gardens green
I′ll find the time to mend the screens
And no one else will see these dreams you've lent me

The world will not recall
The world won′t care at all
