| Kate Rusby – The Wild Goose Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
What a beautiful song! I heard it a hundred times before I decided to play it, and looked up the lyrics. As beautifully a Kate sings, I have trouble hearing all the words! I think it's the girl who was hurt, the last three operative lines being her's. Maybe it's just the strong impression I had (without knowing all of the words or the sea shanty background) that the "wild goose sailing" in this song is the girl flying away, with regrets on the part of the story-teller. 1. I was walking by the river ONE EVENING 2. How are you doing THIS MORNING (he's not mad) (why evening - morning?) 3. None the better.... (she IS mad) 4. YOU broke my heart (that's HER..he's singing to the BOYS) But regardless, it's a beautiful song. I would sing it whatever it meant. I wish I could sing as well as Kate! |
