One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. The first dozen or so times I listened to it I couldn't breathe and my eyes filled with tears. It was awesome live too; both times I saw it the venue went so quiet, and you could feel how special the song is - it really transcends just being rock music.
Thank you for posting it; I thought of it when I read the OP, but I wouldn't have been able to post it on my phone. Very appropriate, in more ways than one.

" I've
seen things you people wouldn't believe
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those
moments
will be lost in time, like tears
in
rain. Time
to die

This last quote of his is so true...and sad.
