Title: When You Go lyrics
Post by: Excalibur on November 16, 2016, 05:22PM
Is is just me, or after a year most of us still don't get a particular line of this song?

These are the lyrics you can find online

When you go will you take my love with you with your heartbeat?
Over rivers, streams, and mountains high and low
When you leave will you take my love with you with your heartbeat?
All I want is bring back to me

I really don't think the italicized line is correct, it just doesn't make sense to me. And in that particular point of the songs it's so hard to get the words... What do you guys think?

I'm equally confused. I'm going to ask the girls. ;)

The one thing that actually irritates me is that the CDs booklets do not have the lyrics - at least mine don't  >:(

Nor  mine.

And the DVD doesn't appear to have closed captioning.

I guess the girls are going to be getting flooded with Voices of Angels posts for a while, so this probably wasn't the best time to ask them about Destiny lyrics.

Oh well, there's hope, I suppose.

Is it difficult to get the lyrics off by listening to the track or video.

I would still love clarification over what Ride On means.

I hear it as:

When you go will you take my love with you in your heartbeat?
Over rivers deep, mountains high and low.
When you leave will you take my love with you in your heartbeat?
All I want is to bring you back to me.
When you go.


It's one of those fast-paced, poppy songs that it's sometimes hard to understand the lyrics of. But that's what I hear and what I sing whilst shamelessly jamming to it in my car!   ;D

As for your question, I think there was a thread that answered that already. I'll see if I can find it.

I finally got the correct lyrics - or at least, what I consider to be the correct lyrics. I had to listen to the song several millions of times and I watched the video at the slowest speed possible to get the words from the girls' lips XD

When you go will you take my love with you with your heartbeat?
Over rivers deep, mountains high and low
When you leave will you take my love with you with your heartbeat?
Over valleys green back to me

This actually make sense, mostly because this ways the whole chorus has the particular feature of putting the adjectives after the neames instead of putting them before - like you usually would in English, but I suppose it's ok in poetry and music. So we have rivers deep, mountains high and low, valleys green.

Do you think this is right?

Actually, according to the closed captioning on the PBS special:
"Over Mother's green back to me"

Ahhh! Now that makes sense!

I've been wondering about that for a couple of years.

Thank you!

Interesting, thanks :) So, is Mother's green back a reference to Mother Nature or something like that?

My initial thought was "Mother's green back" could refer to hills / mountains in Ireland or possibly one in particular, but I'm not sure.
