Kate McGarrigle’s wrote this song as a sad goodbye letter to her husband, Loudon Wainwright III, who at the time had run off to Europe with another woman. Loudon later came back to Kate, which is documented in another song on the album, ‘Blues in D’. It is said on the original recording you can hear...
[Verse 1]
Go, leave, she's better than me
Or at least she is stronger
She will make it last longer
That's nice for you
[Verse 2]
Go, leave, don't come back
No more am I for the taking
But I can't say that my heart's not aching
It's breaking in two
[Bridge]
I remember days when we laughed a lot
Those that weren't so good, I soon forgot
We could sit and talk till words were coming out our ears
Not just for days or weeks or months but it's been years
And here they come, here come my tears
[Verse 3]
So go, leave, here is said goodbye
But could it be that you are stalling?
Hearts have a way of calling
When they've been true
Go Leave was written by Kate McGarrigle.
Go Leave was produced by Joe Boyd & Greg Prestopino.
