I don't know how I managed not to really 'discover' Phil Ochs's beautiful song "Changes" until recently. Even when singing it at a song circle, I'm afraid the poetic images were so lovely that I didn't realize the song is, apparently, an elaborate, poetic, picturesque way of telling a lover "it's over."

I'm wondering what other songs, if any, are comparable.

There are songs like "For The Good Times" and "That's No Way To Say Goodbye," which are about ending things on an amicable (even amorous) note, but neither of those songs seem to be telling the lover anything s/he doesn't already know; they imply that that's already been decided and talked about.

What other songs are, essentially, a sweet, imaginative song used as a euphemism for "see ya around, kid?"
