My Choices for Love Songs

I can't limit myself to one - after going through my music library (about 15,000 songs!) I have to hit upon two by PJ Harvey, both of which come from her album "To Bring You My Love." The first, "Send His Love To Me" relates the desperation of love, pleading for love, love as both a torture and a remedy. The second, "The Dancer," apart from being a deeply moving song on a musical level, transmits images of both a present and absent lover who has come and possibly gone and the impossible longing for fulfillment that accompanies all this.

Here are youtube clips and links to the lyrics:
