Cover art for Copenhagen lyrics by Lucinda Williams

This song broke my heart so much when I first heard it that I refused to listen to it again for a year. It's about someone dying far away from the narrator, who loves them very, very much. The whole thing sounds rather wistful, like she wished she could say goodbye. The one ray of hope is that the person is now in a better place (somewhere spinning 'round the sun, circling the moon). So beautiful.
