Sting - If You There Lyrics
Your beauty pulses like a distant starOnce you were so near to meAnd now you've gone so farWretched and affixed the word is in his stone [?]Lying now don't move nor speak no statue here aloneLiving here just with a memoryA simple recollection that's so dear to meYou said it's logical that we should partWhat's pleasing to my intellectMust surely break my heartMan will always want what he can't haveIt's more than he can do just to be braveHe seeks perfection in a thousand waysJust throw another shovel on his graveBorn to liveBorn to dieBorn to wonderWhy, why, why, whyIf you thereWould you leave me wondering?If you thereAm I one man only?If you thereDon't leave me wonderingIf you thereYou say that all we have is what we seeBaby all you understand is a little part of meYou said that I could never be the onePromises evaporate in the angle of the sunIf the only certain thing is deathWalk a little nearer to it now with every breathAnd if this time must wear a velvet gloveThen kindness and lies are the true friends of loveMan will always want what he can't haveIt's more than he can do just to be braveHe seeks perfection in a thousand waysThrow another shovel on his graveBorn to liveBorn to dieBorn to wonderWhy, why, why, whyIf you thereWould you leave me wondering?If you thereAm I one man only?If you thereDon't leave me wonderingIf you there
