If I were to go away
Would you follow me to the ends of the earth
To show me what your love is worth
Or would you go and buy a car
Shrug your shoulders, say, «There you are
She didn’t love me anyway
If she had, she would have stayed»
If I were to go away
Would I always look for your beautiful face
In every crowd, every place
Or would I go and buy a hat
Turn my shoulders, say, «That is that
He didn’t love me, now it’s clear
If he had, he would be here»
I saw a dog so tiny and skinny the other day I couldn't help but feel like this song was written by someone assuming the perspective of the dog. Cute tho. Looked like an alien deer. Potentially just being humble. Does not wish to assume itself.
If I were to go away
Would you follow me /to ends of the earth
To show me what /Your love is worth
Or would you go and buy a car
Shrug your shoulders /Say there you are
She didn't love me /anyway
If she had /she would have stayed
If I were to go away
Would I always look /for your beautiful face
In every crowd /every place
Or would I go/and buy a hat
Turn my shoulders /say that is that
He didn't love me /now its clear
If he had /he would be here

this song hit home so feircely for me. so many personal relationships that just faded away. So many times it just didn't work out, and I had to move on from them and hope for better.
This song legit has me feeling a new different emotion, I could listen to it for hours. Its a much different aura than the rest of her songs that I've listened to. I have to say I like this one the most.
This music is so eerie and beautiful, I adore this and it is a song that explains so many things, and the amazing artwork included, it is just outstanding
if I were to go away
would you follow me to the ends of the earth
to show me what your love is worth
or would you go and buy a car
shrug your shoulders say there you are
she didn't love me anyway
if she had she would have stayed
if I were to go away
would I always look for your beautiful face
in every crowd - every place
or would I go and buy a hat
turn my shoulders - say that is that
he didn't love me now its clear
if he had he would be here
