Don't Take Your Love Away

The street was a river, middle of June

A river that ran through our home

You were gone travelling a couple of days

So I dried out our things all alone

And I opened a box I'd never seen

Full of old letters written to you

Don't take your love away, she said

Don't take your love away

Page by page I laid them out to dry

What I knew I shouldn't read

How could you love somebody so much

Knowing they've chosen to leave?

I miss what we were, I want what we had

Your silence the cruelest reply

Don't take your love away she said

Wouldn't it be easier in black and white

I'm reading this too close to home

I've got some letters and a box of my own

That I've saved for all these years

I've kept them for all these years

The day's getting lonely, the Sun's setting late

And now even your keys at the door

They never sounded this way before

Don't take your love away
