If You Left Me Now

I would wake up in the middle of the night
and take a long, long walk
I would let my eyes meet the eyes of others
in a foreign town
I wouldn't be in a rush
with meeting someone new
I've got plenty with myself
just like you
I would breathe in the emptiness that was left
if you left me now

I would be sitting on a train to Paris
and let Stockholm be
I would get that time from myself
that I said that I would want
I could let myself dream
a hundred miles through Europe
about a stranger
as trusting as you
I would try my lips against someone else
if you left me now

I would be able to live without that look
that gets me out of balance
I would miss those moments we have
when we've just stopped fighting
I would maybe seek out
contacts that I've lost
I guess there is someone you would call
if I wasn't here

I would maybe find someone younger
like a feather in my hat
It could be too empty if noone was there
that held me warm in the night
But I wouldn't have patience enough
to be understood
Noone knows me
as good as you
I would be stuck in my loneliness again
if you left me now
