Just curious what stays with people...

for melancholy:

I've been lately thinking
About my life's time
All the things I've done
And how it's been
And I can't help believing
In my own mind
I know I'm gonna hate to see it end

I've seen a lot of sunshine
Slept out in the rain
Spent a night or two all on my own
I've known my lady's pleasures
Had myself some friends
And spent a night or two in my own home

And I have to say it now
It's been a good life all in all
It's really fine
To have a chance to hang around
And lie there by the fire
And watch the evening tire
While all my friends and my old lady
Sit and pass the pipe around

And talk of poems and prayers and promises
And things that we believe in
How sweet it is to love someone
How right it is to care
How long it's been since yesterday
And what about tomorrow
And what about our dreams
And all the memories we share

The days they pass so quickly now
Nights are seldom long
And time around me whispers when it's cold
The changes somehow frighten me
Still I have to smile
It turns me on to think of growing old
For though my life's been good to me
There's still so much to do
So many things my mind has never known
I'd like to raise a family
I'd like to sail away
And dance across the mountains on the moon

I have to say it now
It's been a good life all in all
It's really fine
To have the chance to hang around
And lie there by the fire
And watch the evening tire
While all my friends and my old lady
Sit and watch the sun go down

And talk of poems and prayers and promises
And things that we believe in
How sweet it is to love someone
How right it is to care
How long it's been since yesterday
What about tomorrow
What about our dreams
And all the memories we share

John Denver

Hush now, baby
Soon I'll see you in my dreams
Asking nuthin'
Nuthin's ever what it seems

Baby wants the milk and honey
Ask me and you shall recieve
Never seen no devil wear his heart upon his sleeve

Down the corner-
Where the streets have turned to sand
If you-
Do unto others
You will die by your own hand

Baby pulls me even closer
Tangled like the web she weaves
Shaking off her demons
Now they're coming after me

Don't mistake me
Ain't no ordinary man
Gonna save me
From the shotgun in your hand

Covering the walls in shadow
Faster than the sound of speed
Never seen no devil
Now it's all that I can see
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose...
from Me and Bobby McGee

Don't know that I've ever heard more truth expressed in 9 words.

"Started swearing to my God, and on my mother's grave,
that I would love you 'til the end of time, I swore I would love you 'til the end of time............

So now I'm prayin' for the end of time to hurry up and arrive,
cause if I have to spend another minute with you I don't think that I can really survive!"
