Forgot to add:
-Dream of a drawned submariner. Only played 4 times live... And I heard one of them in Stuttgart. Awesome.
- Rudiger, yes, the first one than that moved me on the first solo album.
- A night in summer long ago: another touching one, rarely played live, that I had the chance to hear twice in a row in Paris (2010 and 2011).

Two Skinny Kids is very moving for me, it is kinda nostalgic is such a personal story that actually seems to be about Mark himself and his brother or best friend's love for the Everly Brothers. Very touching, so hope it's on the new record...

Wild Theme has already brought me the tears on some occasions. Whistle Theme, Smooching and Wild Mountain Thyme are others that I can not fail to mention, they do not have lyrics, but, the melodies are deep and convivial with me.

 Other songs that move me a lot are:

Wild West End (My first musical passion in the DS work.)
Lions (Very engaging too, the rhythm, the atmosphere, starting from the introduction to the end.)
Down to the Waterline
You and Your Friend (There is always a sensual atmosphere)
Love Over Gold
It never rains
Only end of TOL
BIA- (especially the Mandela 1988 version)
Iron Hand (especially the version of Timothy White sessions 1992 and Dublin 23.8.91)

Of the solo career, the one that moves me the most is So Far From the Clyde, the melancholy and metaphor are deep in this.

Sailling to Philadelphia
What it is (studio version or live 2001 with Bonnie, Bonnie Banks O'Loch Lomond)
If this is goodbye
I Dug Up A Diamond (melody and duento between Mark and Richard on guitar)
Dream of a drawned submariner (Another strong song)
Long highway
Are We In Trouble Now
Darling Pretty
The Scaffold's Wife
Remembrance Day

At the moment, these are the ones I remember, they are the unique sensations they bring!

There are many more, but here is my attempt:

Hand in Hand – an absolute beauty of a melancholy song – from the voice of a young man
Heart Full of Holes – a beautiful melancholy song – from the voice of an older man
Where Do You Think You’re Going? – super powerful; perfectly sums up youth not accepting the inevitable
Our Shangri-La
Romeo and Juliet
Follow the Ribbon
Silver Eagle – just very honestly sung
Let It All Go – abandoned dreams…  
Down To The Waterline
Long Cool Girl – the intro is beautiful and sweet – it takes my breath away
Hard Shoulder – pushing through the grief of lost love
The Ragpicker’s Dream
Are We In Trouble Now
If you ain’t got whiskey
(really, seriously) Don’t tell me that you ain’t got gin

Yes! I love the kind of "boyish" or "naive" touch on the lyrics, definitely one of my favorites. The music is great on that one too.

The most emotional IMHO is probably Love Over Gold.

Out of his solo songs I think Hard Shoulder or A place where we used to live? I think they're great at the understated depressed feeling.

What about ‚Haul away‘? Think it deserves to be in this list of emotional songs  :)

TLWNF is beautiful and will always be important to me.

Yes of course.

"I’m a living man and you’re a cold one
Haul away, haul away for home...
I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home
