The Lonely Man (Closing Them to The Incredible Hulk) ...Brings me to near weeping stage every time I hear it. I defy anyone to listen to the whole thing and not start thinking about their past....

Yeah.... That is a good one. That came out right around the time my kid was born, so I really felt for the guy

IIRC He was not far from death when he sang this and his wife of 35 years had died a few months prior.

"If You Could Read My Mind" by Gordon Lightfoot. The Cash version is even more troubling IMO.

[AmishGirl]

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well. Enough said.

I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to slit me
Do you think you can help me ?

Sad veiled bride, please be happy
Handsome groom, give her room
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly

(Though she needs you
More than she loves you)

And I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go

Over and over and
over and over


I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real

And you even spoke to me, and said :
"If you're so funny,
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And
if you're so clever,
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very entertaining,
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very good-looking,
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?

I know ...
'Cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms..."

It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind

Over, over, over, over

It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind


Love is Natural and Real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love

Love is Natural and Real
But not for such as you and I, my love

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head ....
