"The Last Time I Saw Her" (Gordon Lightfoot)

That I can scarcely feel the way I felt before.
And if time could heal the wounds
I would tear the threads away
That I might bleed some more.

  4. His "Early Morning Rain" was recorded as a demo in 1965 by the group that later became the Grateful Dead. One of his better and more memorable songs.
