Joanna Newsom – On A Good Day Lyrics 11 years ago
I do think this is simply about two people who, despite their efforts to change or make it work, realize that they are just fundamentally different or incompatible, and that they can't deny their true nature (Our nature does not change by will/Water though it's frozen etc.). That's my take, the grieving for a life that was dreamed of and will never be, plans, hopes expectations etc.

That's what I'm going to take from it anyway, because it resonate with me. It's ambiguous enough that it can mean something else to somebody else, and that's one of the beautiful things about the song, whatever Joanna's inspiration might actually have been.

Dire Straits – Romeo And Juliet Lyrics 11 years ago
I'm sorry my friend. I know how it feels. Every now and then, I'll feel that pain again, the tears will flow, and the wounds will seem so fresh, even though it's been a lifetime. I guess I'll always miss her, and the way we used to be.
