    This song, almost inexplicably, brings a tear to my eye every time I listen to it. It's almost as if I was hypnotised at some point and this song was set as a trigger. Maybe it's got something to do with having lived in different places around the world and therefore having shed a series of environments and their occupants as I moved on each time.

    [youtube Song About Travellin ...[text shortened]... le in the cities you'll never know,
    it is everything you pass by,
    wondering, will you ever return?
    That's a great song! I've never heard it or of the group before.
    At first I thought that it was Bjork of the Sugar Cubes singing.

    Very pleasant. 🙂

    Heute treff' ich einen Herrn
    Der hat mich zum Fressen gern
    Weiche Teile und auch harte
    Stehen auf der Speisekarte
    Denn du bist, was du isst
    Und ihr wisst, was es ist
    Es ist mein Teil (nein)
    Mein Teil (nein)
    Da, das ist mein Teil (nein)
    Mein Teil (nein)
    Die stumpfe Klinge gut und recht
    Ich blute stark und mir ist schlecht
    Muss ich auch mit der Ohnmacht kämpfen
    Ich esse weiter unter Krämpfen
    Ist doch so gut gewürzt und so schön flambiert
    Und so liebevoll auf Porzellan serviert
    Dazu ein guter Wein und zarter Kerzenschein
    Ja da lass ich mir Zeit, etwas Kultur muss sein
    Denn du bist, was du isst
    Und ihr wisst, was es ist
    Es ist mein Teil (nein)
    Mein Teil (nein)
    Da, das ist mein Teil (nein)
    Yes, it's mein Teil (nein)
    Ein Schrei wird zum Himmel fahren
    Schneidet sich durch Engelsscharen
    Vom Wolkendach fällt Federfleisch
    Auf meine Kindheit mit Gekreisch
    Es ist mein Teil (nein)
    Mein Teil (nein)
    Da, das ist mein Teil (nein)
    Mein Teil (nein)
    Es ist mein Teil (nein)
    Mein Teil (nein)
    Da, das ist mein Teil (nein)
    Yes it's mein Teil (nein)

    Operator, number, please: it's been so many years
    Will she remember my old voice while I fight the tears?
    Hello, hello there, is this Martha? this is old Tom Frost,
    And I am calling long distance, don't worry 'bout the cost.
    'Cause it's been forty years or more, now Martha please recall,
    Meet me out for coffee, where we'll talk about it all.

    And those were the days of roses, poetry and prose
    And Martha all I had was you and all you had was me.
    There was no tomorrows, we'd packed away our sorrows
    And we saved them for a rainy day.
    And I feel so much older now, and you're much older too,
    How's your husband? and how's the kids? you know that I got married too?
    Luck that you found someone to make you feel secure,
    'Cause we were all so young and foolish, now we are mature.

    And those were the days of roses, poetry and prose
    And Martha all I had was you and all you had was me.
    There was no tomorrows, we'd packed away our sorrows
    And we saved them for a rainy day.
    And I was always so impulsive, I guess that I still am,
    And all that really mattered then was that I was a man.
    I guess that our being together was never meant to be.
    And Martha, Martha, I love you can't you see?

    Travelin' Prayer -- Billy Joel -- Piano Man (1973)

    Hey Lord, take a look all around
    And I'd a-find where my baby's gonna be
    Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
    'Cause she is far across the sea

    Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
    And make sure that she's gonna be alright
    And things are gonna be alright with me

    Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
    And make sure that all her dreams are sweet
    Said now, would ya guide her on the roads
    And make them softer for her feet

    Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
    And make sure that she's gonna be alright
    Until she's home and here with me

    Hey, Lord would ya look out for her tonight
    If she is sleepin' under the sky
    Said now, make sure the ground she's sleepin' on
    Is always warm and dry

    Mmm, don'tcha give her too much rain
    Try to keep her away from pain
    Because my baby hates to cry

    Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
    'Cause it gets rough along the way
    Said now, this song seems strange is just because
    I don't know how to pray

    Mmm, won'tcha give her peace of mind
    And if you ever find the time
    Won'tcha tell her I miss her everyday

    Hey Lord, take a look all around
    And I'd a-find where my baby's gonna be
    Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
    'Cause she is far across the sea

    Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
    And make sure that she's gonna be alright
    Until she's home and here with me
    With me

    It doesn’t get easier...

    Winter
    by Tori Amos

    Snow can wait, I forgot my mittens
    Wipe my nose, get my new boots on
    I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter

    I put my hand in my father's glove
    I run off where the drifts get deeper
    Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
    I hear a voice "You must learn to stand up for yourself"
    "'Cause I can't always be around"

    He says when you gonna make up your mind
    When you gonna love you as much as I do
    When you gonna make up your mind
    'Cause things are gonna change so fast
    All the white horses are still in bed
    I tell you that I'll always want you near
    You say that things change my dear

    Boys get discovered as winter melts
    Flowers competing for the sun
    Years go by and I'm here still waiting
    Withering where some snowman was

    Mirror mirror where's the crystal palace
    But I only can see myself
    Skating around the truth who I am
    But I know, dad, the ice is getting thin

    When you gonna make up your mind
    When you gonna love you as much as I do
    When you gonna make up your mind
    'Cause things are gonna change so fast
    All the white horses are still in bed
    I tell you that I'll always want you near
    You say that things change my dear

    Hair is grey and the fires are burning
    So many dreams on the shelf
    You say I wanted you to be proud
    I always wanted that myself

    When you gonna make up your mind
    When you gonna love you as much as I do
    When you gonna make up your mind
    'Cause things are gonna change so fast
    All the white horses have gone ahead
    I tell you that I'll always want you near
    You say that things change my dear
    Never change
    All the white horses

    Without a doubt, that one elicits deep emotions...

    That recalls Shakespeare and Macbeth!

    For heartfelt lyrics I would look at C S and 'How can I tell you'

    Interesting to note how poetry is dying in lyrics:
    Led Zeppelin 1975

    If the sun refused to shine
    I would still be loving you,
    When mountains crumble to the sea,
    There’ll still be you and me,
    Kind woman, I give you my all,
    Kind woman, nothing more.

    Nikki Minaj 2012

    You a stupid hoe, you a, you a stupid hoe,
    You a stupid hoe, you a stupid hoe (yeah),
    You a, you a stupid hoe, you a stupid hoe,
    You a, you a stupid hoe (stupid, stupid),
    You a, you a stupid hoe (stupid, stupid),
    Etc ad nauseam...
