* LastMomentTogether: This is an interpretation of a bit of a sub plot in the song "Body of an American". The song is about an Irish-American who has his body brought to Ireland to be laid to rest there. The second version of the chorus has a line about how "My love's in Amerikay", and the final verse is all about saying goodbye to someone the speaker says he'll always love, but with a much quieter and somewhat forlorn note than much of the rest of the song, which focused on the event being [[TheFunInFuneral a lively, rowdy Irish wake]]. The implication is the speaker is an Irish man who was in love with a female relative of the deceased, and she journeyed to attend the funeral, the two reconnected briefly during the event, and then he has to say goodbye, knowing that even though he loves her dearly it's more than likely that he'll never see her again.
--> This morning on the harbor, when I said goodbye to you
-->I remember how I swore that I'd come back to you one day
-->And as the sunset came to meet the evening on the hill
-->I told you I'd always love you; I always did, I always will
--> This morning on the harbor, when I said goodbye to you
-->I remember how I swore that I'd come back to you one day
-->And as the sunset came to meet the evening on the hill
