Well, I don't think "Don't Think Twice" is QUITE in the same category as "Changes" or even "Love Will Endure" or "Many Times Before." But even though the latter have gentle lyrics, I still think Phil takes the prize for the floweriest way of dumping someone.

One song from the pop genre is kind of in the same vein: "Softly As I Leave You." (Did Frank Sinatra sing it?) But it's not as subltle as "Changes."

The verse that has been so far omitted from the DT is a prime example:

"Moments of magic will glow in the night;
All fears of the forest are gone,
But when the morning breaks
They're swept away by golden drops of dawn, of changes."

Translation: "I was real turned on last night, but it's broad daylight and I'm over it."

Then, the next verse:
"Passions will part to a strange melody.
As fires will sometimes burn cold.
Like petals in the wind,
We're puppets to the silver strings of souls, of changes."

Translation: "I'm fickle and incapable of a lasting commitment."

As I said, this song is the epitome of saying "we're through" with so pretty a melody and such poetic lyrics that the rejected lover may not even realize s/he's being dumped until later.
