Absence

If I leave tomorrow, would you be alright? Would you be filled with sorrow? Would you put up a fight? How can I protect you when I don't feel alright? If I just vanished, do you think you'd manage? Or would you disappear right beside me? Do you think you're ready when I go unsteady? Lover, please prepare for my absence If I left the country, would you search and search? Or would you give up easy and find me in the dirt? Would I live forever? Or blend right into earth? If I just vanished, do you think you'd manage? Or would you disappear right beside me? Do you think you're ready when I go unsteady? Lover, please prepare for my absence Absence makes the heart grow stronger Pray my baby will not squander everything to gain by my leaving And if I can return the favor Pray my baby always savors every moment we were both present 'Cause if I just vanished, do you think you'd manage? Or would you disappear right beside me? Do you think you're ready when I go unsteady? Lover, please prepare for my absence
