Wow! Great suggestion, SilverHeel. That image is more "early winter" than Annabel, which may be set at the end of winter/ beginning of spring. Maybe we can save the Farewell til later in the year.
Only one other comment about Restless. That has always struck me as a song for one whose traveling days are over ("trade that for a warm bed in a place that I call home") and becomes restless (without regret) when the sight of the geese causes him to remember the travels of the past, symbolized by the schooner, the engine, the diesel. The narrator then returns his thoughts to his current path, the warm home. As such, the narrator has looked back, then forward -- which in Roman mythology would be symbolized by Janus, the god who looks in both directions! And the god who gave us January.
I'd place your suggestion ahead of mine at this point. Any others? Or are the nominations closed?
