What's your favorite lyric from a song?

"And if time could heal the wounds
I would rip the threads asway
That I might bleed some more."

Gordon Lightfoot

"It ain't The Meat
It's the motion"
 Sung by Southside Johnny

Why the hell did Neil Young shoot his baby down by the river? Makes no sense. But with twi little changes.....
"She could drag me-e over the rainbow
Sent me awa-ay, though..."
(send to sent, add though)
It all makes sense. Rhymes better, too.

That's bothered me for decades!

"Forget about it.
When Forever's over I won't remember
How I loved you anymore."

Robert Lee Castleman as sung by Alison Krauss.

"So there'll be no guiding light for you and me
We are not sailors lost out on the sea
We were always headed toward eternity
Hoping for a glimpse of Gaililee."

Emmylou Harris - The Pearl

In the same vein, from a different angle:

Gotta make your own rules, child
Gotta brake your own chains
The dreams that posses you
Can blossom and bless you
Or run you insane

Richie Havens - The Hawk
