i love the sandy denny version of this. it's heartbreaking but also goes to show you can move on and also sort of get the last laugh with a relationship which the OTHER person broke up leaving you a wreck.

beautiful lyrics.

I don't know about that. This is one of those annoying defensive songs where the guy is the asshole but blames the partner for leaving. After all, he says:

And if I could change my ways babe You’d never have said goodbye

That kind of nullifies all his whining right there. And Sandy Denny does sing it wonderfully, but I just don't believe all the whiny defensiveness coming from her.
