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
one of my favourite films :) i just remember, so clearly, the moment that we purchased the vhs as a family. i was in elementary school and my family and i were just going to one of the local grocery stores in a small town that we lived in. my dad came out with this, and i was so excited! i couldn't believe we were buying a film, without seeing it first! i just remember thinking that i was the luckiest kid ;P we ended up loving it, and it remains in our chest of vhs films at my cottage. i watch it in the summer, and in the autumn seasons, because it seems most fitting.
i really love anna paquin's character, along with her style in the film. plus, she carries a noticeable trace of her new zealand accent. she's canadian, but had moved to new zealand, and i believe that her character greatly mirrors her own story in real life. she wears bots and high-think socks paired with flowing short dresses and summer skirts. she is always wearing a sun hat of some sort, along with fun cardigans. high-waisted light jeans are also a favourite.
she was actually a little hippy, and i remember she wore a nose ring (fake i think). one of the reasons i love autumn is because of what i can wear during those seasons. i use her character as inspiration.but the story is so lovely, yet heart-wrenching. i'm sure you've seen it, but if you have not yet watched this wonderful story, please do so!
i promise you will love it.
