On the day you left I didn't know
Which way to turn -- which way to go
I felt so bad -- I cursed the day that I was born.
And even now I just can't stand
To think of you with another man
But does he know, does he really know
What he's taken on?
I searched my soul, I wracked my brain
At times I thought I'd go insane
And every night I lay awake until the dawn.
Yes I was lost, I was confused
But he's the one who's being used
Yeah does he know, does he really know
What he's taken on?
Now he might think he's got your love
And that it came from God above
Threw you a line -- he sowed the seeds
He sees your beauty but I know your needs.
He believes that you're sincere
When you say love ain't living here
Yeah does he know -- does he really know
What he's taken on?
Now he might think he's got your love
And that it came from God above
Is he so blind that he can't see
You'll leave him like you left me.
You sailed away all by yourself
And I was left here on the shelf
I never thought I'd say these words
But I'm glad you're gone.
Yeah he's found truth -- certainty
Resolution, veracity
But does he know -- does he really know
What he's taken on?
Well does he know? Well does he know?
Well does he know? Well does he know?
No no no no no!

Gerry Rafferty (1947-2011) was a Scottish singer-songwriter and guitarist known for his folk rock style influenced by blues. Born in Paisley, Scotland, Rafferty began his musical career in the 1960s with the groups The Humblebums and Stealers Wheel. With the latter, he achieved international success in 1973 with the single "Stuck in the Middle with You", which became a rock classic. After the dissolution of Stealers Wheel, Rafferty embarked on a successful solo career, releasing albums such as "City to City" (1978) and "Right Down the Line" (1980), both characterized by catchy melodies and introspective lyrics. His most famous song is probably "Baker Street", a 1978 single that topped the charts in many countries thanks also to the famous saxophone solo. Rafferty continued to record music until the late 1990s, although he never reached the commercial success of his early years. He died in 2011 at the age of 63.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
