"Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
I could've loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind"

"I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose, and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all"

"My body is merely the shell of my soul
But the flesh must be given it's due
Like a pony that carries it's master back home
Like an old that's tried and been true

My spirit will never be broken or caught
For the soul is a free-flying thing
Like an eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought
To rise up on glorious wings"

"For the heart of man's a palace
And his dreams are as the sunlight
They burn away the darkness, as they warm the freezing cold
As an eagle flying higher, as a river through the canyon
The diamond star shines down upon, a pathway to the soul"

"But for just one fleeting moment
The answer seemed so clear
Heaven's not beyond the clouds
It's just beyond the fear"

Tom Paxton, Joni Mitchell, the last three by Joe Henry.
