Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
Had to listen had no choice
I did not believe the information
(I) just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom boom
"Son," he said "Grab your things,
I've come to take you home."

Yep, Mississippi Goddam is a great song!
From Joni Mitchell:
I was a free man in Paris, I felt unfettered and alive, nobody calling me up for favors, nobodies future to decide.
I'd go back there tomorrow but for the work I've taken on, stoking the star maker machinery behind the popular song.

Sweetest, saddest love song lyrics imo are from Nina Simone, If you knew. She wrote it when her husband had left her (he thought she had left him apparently).
If you knew how I missed you,
You would not stay away today
Don't you know how I love you
Stay here my dear with me
I need you here my darling
Together for a day, a day
Together never parting
Just you, jus ...[text shortened]... me
I love you, I love you, I do
The passion when she sings too [youtube]v=batsEg6kW94[/youtube]
@blackpoolmad saidThere’s Klingons on the starboard bow...
Star Trekking, across the universe;
On the Starship Enterprise, under Captain Kirk.
Such a meaningful song.
