It struck me that LC has recorded a surprising number of inspired songs about having no inspiration. Off the top of my head, I can think of the following:
Last Year's Man
Diamonds in the Mine
Death of a Ladies' Man
If it Be your Will
Waiting for the Miracle
By Rivers Dark
Alexandra Leaving
Going Home
Any others people can think of?

I thought about trying to say something witty as a reply, but ...
My page was too white
My ink was too thin
For those who don't recognize the reference, you can find that one as
Book Of Longing at
Heck Of A Guy (also in his TOLCA1 archive).

Thanks- interesting. They sound like much earlier songs than 2006. I wonder if LC still plans to use versions of them in a future album?

Might have been some writer's block in the 70's or 80's, and associated with an exploration of old prayers, I think, but --
