You Went Away

You went away and left me one dark day
When we were much too close
Dreaming of our private peace
You went away and I was breathing again
The air was purer now
It felt so good somehow to be alone
But if I'd known

I must have caused you pain
Our love was on the way
I want you back again
And I need you, need you, need you, need you
Need you, need you, need you, need you

You went away and left me standing there
And I could breathe again
Live again without a care
But your pain was reaching me
And again was teaching me
That I'd heard you deeply many times
So many many times without a thought

I must have caused you pain
Our love was on the way
I want you back again
And I need you, need you, need you, need you
Need you, need you, need you, need you
