If I Say Your Name

Verse 1

Quiet room

Your hand is close to mine

The candle gutters down

We both know what we can't say

A fiddler down the lane

Plays something slow and sore

And every note he draws

Leans on the locked door

Pre-Chorus

If I say your name

The whole town learns to talk

If I hold your gaze

My feet forget to walk

Chorus

Come away with me

Come away with me

The river won't ask questions

The hills keep their own counsel

Come away with me

Come away with me

I'd trade a hundred Sundays

For one forbidden morning

Verse 2

Sunday bells

Ring out across the bog

You sit across the pew

Two strangers in the fog

Your ring is plain and bright

Mine I tucked away

We sing the same old hymn

And mean a different prayer

Pre-Chorus

If I touch your sleeve

The rafters start to hum

If I let you leave

I'll never be whole again

Chorus

Come away with me

Come away with me

The river won't ask questions

The hills keep their own counsel

Come away with me

Come away with me

I'd trade a hundred Sundays

For one forbidden morning

Bridge

Softer now

Softer than a sigh

Softer than the truth we keep

Softly softly by and by

Hold your heart

Hold it where I can't

Say goodbye my only

Say it low and slow my love

Chorus

Come away with me

Come away with me

The river won't ask questions

The hills keep their own counsel

Come away with me

Come away with me

I'd trade a hundred Sundays

For one forbidden morning

Post-Chorus

Mm-mm

Mm-hmm

La-la-la

Mm-mm

Chorus

Come away with me

Come away with me

The river won't ask questions

The hills keep their own counsel

Come away with me

Come away with me

I'd give up every Sunday

For one forbidden morning
