This one is about someone escaping earth just before it's destroyed. Fast forward to 1:30 or so to get to the vocals, which are spectacular. Interestingly, there are 19 beats per measure.

Harry Nilsson did a great song about a breakup called "You're Breakin' my Heart." I won't post a direct link for reasons that are obvious to those who know the song and the mods.

One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite singers. She realizes that something is ending. Some poignant lyrics, and that voice! I just adore her talent. :)

It's All Over Now Baby Blue - written and sung by Bob Dylan

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep, you'd better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out the saints are coming through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
This sky, too, is folding under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home
Your empty-handed armies are all going home
The lover who just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue

Leave your stepping stones behind you, something calls for you
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, Baby Blue

Well, it's all over now but the cryin'
I keep on payin' the price for my lyin'
Don't let it get you down it ain't nothin' new
You ain't the only one that it's happened to
