Song Prince wrote about his dying son.

Come Back

Walking up the stairs
Just the afternoon
Sweet wind blew
Not a moment to soon
(Hoo) I cry when I realized
That sweet wind was you

Spirits come and spirits go
Some stick around for the after show
Don't have to say I miss you (don't have to say I miss you)
Cause I think you already know
If you ever lose someone
Dear to you
Never say the words their gone
They'll come back, yeah
They'll come back, yeah yeah
They'll come back
Tears go here
Tears go here
Tears go here
Tears go here

I've always thought Beautiful Strange is about his son, too. Especially since, by the end, he's almost screaming the chorus:

Strangely beautiful
Beautiful strange
That's what we said
instead of the name
If U count the times
He took all the blame
U would find the reason
behind the game

In the darkness
we must look 4 the way
Words so strange
that only the mind can say
If it makes no mind
what color or holy day
why is this game
the only one that we play

Dive inside your sould if U wanna know
the light inside the darkness 4ever glows
The son is like the diamond inside the coal
and like an embryo it grows and grows

Both songs are beautiful.

Yes,it's a beautiful song, though. I'm used to those kind of song that seem to don't make sense, with Dylan is that way.

"Beautiful Strange" seems to be a reference to Jesus. The lyrics are kinda self-ecplanatory.

"That's what we say instead of the name..."

"If it makes no difference the color or Holy Day..."

"The son is like the diamond inside the coal..."
