What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...

I posted before a single line or two of lyrics previously, but realized that does not encapsulate the real meaning and nuances of the sung poetry, so I will add a few more lines to give context. 

Dylan, Tempest, 2012 original material, song #3, "Narrow Way"

"I've got a heavy stacked woman, with a smile on her face
And she has crowned, my soul with grace

I'm still hurting from an arrow, that pierced my chest
I'm gonna have to take my head, and bury it between your breasts

It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way"
And if my thought-dreams could be seen 
They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
But it's alright, Ma, it's life, and life only

Dylan
It's alright Ma, I'm only bleeding
"death came, death came and gave you his kiss
death came, death came
and took you away from this

Oh, I miss you so
and I long to know
why death  gave you his kiss"


"Death Came" Lucinda Williams
