It changes from time to time for me but right now it has to be this one, from Old Man by Neil Young, especially the second and last line. Love lost, such a cost Give me things that don't get lost Like a coin that won't get tossed Rolling home to you
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow But god only knows what I can do right now! I'm praying for the end of time It's all that I can do (oh oh oh) Praying for the end of time, so I can end my life with you.
You say you love me And I hardly know your name And if I say I love you in the candle light There’s no one but myself to blame
'T was in the darkest depths of Mordor I met a girl so fair But Gollum, and the evil one Crept up and slipped away with her Her, her, yeah Led Zeppelin
That's the Great Bear. A thousand years ago five minutes were Equal to forty ounces of fine sand. Outstare the stars. Infinite foretime and Infinite aftertime: above your head They close like giant wings, and you are dead. The great American poet, John Francis Shade
“We reach the Sprangle just at dawn These little streets I used to know Is that my father mowing the lawn? C’mon Daddy, get in, let’s go” Donald Fagen
In the wooden chair Beside my window I wear a face born in the falling rain I talk to shadows from a lonely candle Recite the phrases from the wall I can't explain this Holy pain
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Early one morning the sun was shining I was laying in bed wondering if she had changed at all if her hair was still red? Bob Dylan
"Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange A walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?" "In solitude With no place to run or hide I hear my own mind cry And I fall just to see you rise"
Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe Ifin' you don't know by now An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe It'll never do some how When your rooster crows at the break a dawn Look out your window and I'll be gone You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on Don't think twice, it's all right Especially if it's the waylon version.
If I should die before I wake up I pray that the Lord my soul will take but My body, my body, that's your job

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky With one hand waving free Silhouetted by the sea Circled by the circus sands With all memory and fate Driven deep beneath the waves Let me forget about today until tomorrow
Just one more mornin' I had to wake up with the blues Pulled myself outta bed, Put on my walkin' shoes Went up on the mountain To see what I could see The whole world was fallin' Right down in front of me OR I've been kicked by the wind, robbed by the sleet Had my head stoved in, but I'm still on my feet and I'm still, willin' Now I smuggled some smokes and folks from Mexico Baked by the sun, every time I go to Mexico, and I'm still
The body bags and little rags of children torn in two And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun - Two Minutes to Midnight (Iron Maiden)
