From my solo record Star of a Fish, this gypsy jazz inspired re-make is a total re-invention from the ground up. The fact that it sounds nothing like the original thrills me to no end. Listening back, I can barely believe this is a live recording, Sarah just tears it up.
lyrics
Why have you gone away?
I'd preferred you'd stay
With me
Oh, no one leaves that way
This is a mistake
Please
Why would you cry over one tiny lie?
How would this all be through?
Why have you left me here
With my deepest fear
Alone
Why have you gone away?
I assumed you'd stay
With me
