Joe, another line from "Paradise" -
Ï'm sorry my son, you're too late in asking,
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.

GUEST,silver,

It's surprising that Bob Dylan doesn't have any votes yet:
"There's beauty in that silver, singing river,
There's beauty in that rainbow in the sky;
But none of these, and nothing else, can touch the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes"

"When you're lost in the rain in Juarez
And it's Eastertime too
And your gravity fails
And negativity don't pull you through"

Leonard Cohen seems to be the top vote getter. I'd add:
"Oh the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone.
They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on.
And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song.
Oh I hope you run into them, you who've been travelling so long."

There's no doubt in my mind this tie that we're about to bind
Will keep us both together even when the going`s tough
But just in case, just in case,
This morning I swung by my lawyer`s place.
I didn`t think that you would mind,
Here Dumplin` sign this dotted line.
What`s yours is yours and what is mine
Will always be mine.
Just in case.

Here comes Farmer Brown, talk to him and you will find
He's an agriculture vulture, got a real one-tractor mind

So I could view it through and through
