LC's most inspired songs about having no inspiration

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 --I can't forget but I don't remember what.
