Fare thee well
My own true love
Farewell for a while
I'm going away
But I'll be back
Though I go 10,000 miles
10,000 miles
My own true love
10,000 miles or more
The rocks may melt
And the seas may burn
If I should not return
Oh don't you see
That lonesome dove
Sitting on an ivy tree
She's weeping for
Her own true love
As I shall weep for mine
Oh come ye back
My own true love
And stay a while with me
If I had a friend
All on this earth
You've been a friend to me
My own true love
Farewell for a while
I'm going away
But I'll be back
Though I go 10,000 miles
10,000 miles
My own true love
10,000 miles or more
The rocks may melt
And the seas may burn
If I should not return
Oh don't you see
That lonesome dove
Sitting on an ivy tree
She's weeping for
Her own true love
As I shall weep for mine
Oh come ye back
My own true love
And stay a while with me
If I had a friend
All on this earth
You've been a friend to me

i get confused if she is talking about her own true love being far away or her own true love died and 10,000 miles may be meaning how far away he is like he is in heaven or sumthin..hmm..idk.
This is my fav song ever. It reminds me of my best friend, who lives on the oppsite side of the country.
Southen England. And well, she's been through EVERYTHING with me. and we've still never met.
That last verse gets me in tears everytime. This song is utterly beautiful.
it makes me cry
i heard it from fly away home as well... i love that movie its so beautiful
i used to think she was saying 'the rocks made me' or smthn.. cuz in the beginning the girls mom dies in a car crash

If I had a friend
All on this earth
You’ve been a friend to me
