The obvious - Water is Wide (if you change "a man" to "someone." Any one-syllable word meaning female will probably get you in trouble.

What Mary said about Linda Ronstadt. Here's Lyrics

--and here are a couple of songs from there. (I know the first and I'm pretty sure I have the second on a J.D. Souther tape.)

I'M BLOWING AWAY

written by Eric Kaz
© Glasgo Music

I've been romanced dined and danced
Crazy nights and wild times
But my life has lost its mystery
Love is blind and it cannot find me

I'm blowing away
Shadows take my love and leave
I'm blowing away
Shadows keep taking my love and leaving me

And I have cast aside my foolish pride
And I'm going down for the last time
And I have searched this earth
And I've sailed these seas
Love is blind and it cannot find me

I'm blowing away
Shadows take my love and leave
I'm blowing away
Shadows keep taking my love and leaving me
You keep taking my love and leaving me


Lyrics as performed by Linda Ronstadt on Living in the U.S.A. (1978)

FAITHLESS LOVE

written by John David Souther
© WB Music Corp/ Golden Spread Music

Faithless love like a river flows
Raindrops falling on a broken rose
Down in some valley where nobody goes
And the night blows in like the cold dark wind
Faithless love like a river flows

Faithless love where did I go wrong
Was it telling stories in a heartbreak song
Where nobody's right and nobody was wrong
Faithless love will find you
And the misery entwine you
Faithless love where did I go wrong

Well I guess I'm standing in the hall of broken dreams
That's the way it sometimes goes
Whenever a new love never turns out like it seems
It's the feeling comes and goes

Faithless love like a river flows
Like raindrops falling on a broken rose
Down in some valley where nobody goes
Faithless love has found me
Thrown its chilly arms around me
Faithless love like a river flows


Lyrics as performed by Linda Ronstadt on Heart Like A Wheel (1974)
