Lyr Req: That little dash — between 'em'

Another probably fruitless quest:

Americana-ish song with the line that goes something like:

There'll be two dates on the tombstone & everybody's seen 'em
The only thing that matters is the little dash between 'em

I can't get rid of the superscript appearing on my subject line & have given up trying

This one? a poem by Linda Ellis

A similar thought from Ron Tranmer

Seems to come from singer Kevin Welch. Can't find which song at the moment.

Just kidding, the song is Life Down Here On Earth by Kevin Welch, unless someone used the lines first. Song doesn't seem to be available online after a quick look, so it'll be hard to confirm unless the lyrics (click) ring a bell.

Well, if anything at least I'm consistent -- here's the song. Not sure what I put in the Google box that made it come up this time and not the last, but at any rate, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9hlWYVGzWQ
