Song about dead lover?

I'm in need of a good song, lyrics, specifically, about a woman who is
grieving for her dead lover.

I'm looking for something KaTeish, but I can't recall anything that
exactly fits (Wedding List won't do it, doesn't fit the scene). It's
for a scene in a not-to-be-published bit of group fiction (i.e., no
profit motive, copyrights not an issue, not to be distributed beyond
the authors). The woman in question has just seen her lover shot to
death; he dies not quite in her arms. She's a reckles romantic type,
always thought she'd be the first to go. He was this solid stabilizing
influence in her life, the one thing she could always count on. His
death was a complete fluke. She's very broken up.

Oh yeah, she's a singer/musician, modeled not exactly on Kate, but
definitely influenced by her.

If anybody can think of something, let me know. Maybe something by Tori
or Happy? Happy can be wonderfully depressing, this sounds like her
territory. :-)
