**Songs about unrequited love**

1. Superstar - Carpenters
2. The Bush Girl - John Schumman & the Vagabond Crew  
  
 _"Grey eyes that grow sadder than sunset or rain,_  
 _Fond heart that is ever more true,_  
\*Firm faith that grows firmer for watching in vain \*  
 _She’ll wait by the slip-rails for you."_
