Nanci Griffith's "Listen To The Radio" (sorry for the single posts... brain is in Dribble Mode this evening.

This could be sung by either a man or a woman, if memory serves. Does it have to be a gender-specific female viewpoint? And do you mean any type of love, or just romantic love? If so, there are a number of mother's lament songs for their dead or lost (e.g. Magdalen Laundry and the like) children.

Which brings to mind Joni Mitchell's "Little Green".
