Originally recorded by Jacque Brel, this song ebbs and flows between happiness if she stays and sadness if she walks out. I like Alison Moyet's stripped down French version on one of 'her best of' albums. Also found a fantastically dramatic live take done by Marc Almond. He tends to speed up the optimistic bits and then wallows in the bleaker bits. Perfect for a pessimist like me! Played in Am and tuned down to D.
Love the drama in your version. You live this song. It's a roller coaster just watching you.
