Okay. We've had tear eyes songs and life songs, so how about some that tell us a story, no matter how long or short. It doesn't even have to prove a point or have a moral, just an interesting story, and you can list more than one.
Puff the Magic Dragon has already been mentioned in one of the other threads, and was one of my favorites from a long time ago (not trying to make any one feel old). So, here is some of mine:
Mr. Tanner, Dreams Go By, 30,000 Pounds Of Bananas, Taxi & Sequel... Harry Chapin on "Greatest Stories Live" (youtube has them)
Lady In Black, Wizard... Uriah Heep
Barricades Of Heaven ... Jackson Brown
The Old City Bar ... Trans Siberian Orchestra
Ghost Riders In The Sky... The Outlaws
Wreck On The Highway... Bruce Springsteen
Okay, that's just a few, your turn.

Tom MacDonald - Church
Having worked in a hospital for 32 yrs and with the stress of the past 15 months I crawled into the bottle. I had to retire for my own health. This song is about Tom's struggle with sobriety. It's like he's talking to me directly. Yikes. Never has a song hit me so hard.
Be safe. Love and Peace.

I haven't seen this one mentioned yet: "The Highwayman" by Loreena McKennitt.
This has long been one of my favorite "teary-eyed" songs. It's an old English romantic ballad set to music by McKennitt. Always has me reaching for the tissue box by the end of the song.
Here's a link to it on youtube:
The dialect is a bit hard to follow for this Southern Belle, so here's the lyrics if you care to follow along:

Loreena has sooo many songs like that. Dickens Dublin is a very beautiful story song, as is The Lady Of Shallot.

I appreciate this list, I share similar interest in some of the musical acts mentioned here.
Love Iron Maiden, they've taken on quite a few literature reference as the basis of their song. Rime of the Ancient Mariner is quite an epic
