sundance 2

i discovered this little gem when i saw rachael yamagata live. i love the cello and the thoughtfulness of the piece. it makes me so calm; i seem to always be taking big, deep breaths that are so sad. it's beautiful.



this recording is better, but you can't hear the cello as well, which is such an amazing part of the song.

come back to utah, please, rachael, and bring your beautiful, soulful voice.

{lyrics}
Oh
Why don't you call when you say you will my dear
Is it because I don't belong to you anymore

And why don't you come when you say you will my dear
Do you really think it will work out wrong

Oh
And you've been lost
And I've been saved
Is that what comes from giving away

Maybe in time you will come back along to greet me

What if I leave
What if I leave
What if I leave
What if I leave

Why don't you call
Don't you miss me at all
Left a long
Long time ago to where the weather was better for his kind

Why won't you play
You've gone and left your face
I may be a fool all along but I never understood these rules

Oh
And every street calls your name
A whispering ghost of neighborhood flame
Maybe in time you will wake up to find you're free

What if I leave
What if I leave
What if I leave
What if I leave

So I grow up longing for another
With the windy city left behind to my lover
Will you ever know the way I cry
You were gone that day so you may have missed my goodbye

Oh
And sometimes in my dreams I hear you say
"If you really care you won't go away"

What if I leave
What if I leave
What if I leave
What if I leave

What if I leave
What if I leave
What if I leave
What if I leave
