    "I think that ghosts like the cooler weather
    When leaves turn color they get together
    and walk along these, these old back roads
    where no one lives and no one goes
    with all their hopes set on the railway
    where no one came and no one stayed
    I guess that autumn gets you remembering
    and the smallest thing just makes you cry" - Hawksley Workman - Autumn's here

    He has so many fantastic lyrics

    "We were naked on the ground
    Neath the moon 'neath the stars
    we were beasts about to burn
    and the moonlit night was ours
    all our singing turned to fire
    you could see the flames from here
    we were naked on the ground
    oh don't you fear" - Dirty and True

    "If we had children they'd be lovely and beautiful
    and possess a peace and a strength
    and a depth in their eyes and a soundness in heart
    even as they cried
    and we as lovers move like lilies in midnight
    To taste our bellies before God
    We are witness to currents we cannot control
    Cannot control" - Your Beauty Must Be Rubbing Off

    Oh, you've got green eyes,
    Oh, you've got blue eyes,
    Oh, you've got grey eyes,
    And I've never seen anyone quite like you before,
    No, I've never met anyone quite like you before.

    When I am mad at someone.. or irritated as the case may be..

    My song lyric of choice is-

    "No I don't hate you, don't wanna fight you. You know I'll always love you but right now I just don't like you."

    My Wish by Rascal Flatts
    I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow
    And each road leads you where you want to go
    And if you're faced with the choice and you have to choose
    I hope you choose the one that means the most to you

    And if one door opens to another door closed
    I hope you keep on walkin' til you find the window
    If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile
    But more than anything, more than anything

    My wish for you
    Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
    Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
    You never need to carry more than you can hold

    And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
    I hope you know somebody loves you
    And wants the same things too
    Yeah, this is my wish

    I hope you never look back but you never forget
    All the ones who love you and the place you left
    I hope you always forgive and you never regret
    And you help somebody every chance you get

    And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
    I hope you know somebody loves you
    And wants the same things too
    Yeah, this is my wish, yeah yeah

    My wish for you
    Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
    Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
    You never need to carry more than you can hold

    This is my wish

    From Tom Petty. I'm a pilot so it resonates with me. It was a real struggle to get to where I am in my career today. The road was full of potholes.

    Well, I started out down a dirty road
    Started out all alone
    And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
    And the town lit up, the world got still

    I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
    Coming down is the hardest thing

    Well, the good ol' days may not return
    And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn

    I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
    Coming down is the hardest thing
    { From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/t/tom-petty-lyrics/learning-to-fly-lyrics.html }

    Well, some say life will beat you down
    Break your heart, steal your crown
    So I've started out for God knows where
    I guess I'll know when I get there

    I'm learning to fly around the clouds
    But what goes up must come down

    I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
    Coming down is the hardest thing
    I'm learning to fly around the clouds
    But what goes up must come down

    I'm learning to fly
    I'm learning to fly

    Gravedigger
    When you dig my grave
    Could you make it shallow
    So that I can feel the rain
    Feel the rain
    I can feel the rain
    Gravedigger


    Dave Matthews Band


    The ponies run, the girls are young,
    The odds are there to beat.
    You win a while, and then it’s done –
    Your little winning streak.
    And summoned now to deal
    With your invincible defeat,
    You live your life as if it’s real,
    A Thousand Kisses Deep.

    I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
    I’m back on Boogie Street.
    You lose your grip, and then you slip
    Into the Masterpiece.
    And maybe I had miles to drive,
    And promises to keep:
    You ditch it all to stay alive,
    A Thousand Kisses Deep.

    And sometimes when the night is slow,
    The wretched and the meek,
    We gather up our hearts and go,
    A Thousand Kisses Deep.

    Confined to sex, we pressed against
    The limits of the sea:
    I saw there were no oceans left
    For scavengers like me.
    I made it to the forward deck.
    I blessed our remnant fleet –
    And then consented to be wrecked,
    A Thousand Kisses Deep.

    I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
    I’m back on Boogie Street.
    I guess they won’t exchange the gifts
    That you were meant to keep.
    And quiet is the thought of you,
    The file on you complete,
    Except what we forgot to do,
    A Thousand Kisses Deep.

    And sometimes when the night is slow,
    The wretched and the meek,
    We gather up our hearts and go,
    A Thousand Kisses Deep.

    The ponies run, the girls are young,
    The odds are there to beat . . .

    The greatest lyric and the greatest pickup line (someplace in this world) has to be from the song Let Me Love You Baby by the late great Stevie Ray Vaughn....

    "Tell me what your worst fears are. I bet they look a lot like mine.
    
Tell me what you think about when you can't fall asleep at night.
    
Tell me that you're struggling. Tell me that you're scared. No,
    
Tell me that you're terrified of life. 

    Tell me that it's difficult to not think of death sometimes.
    
Tell me how you lost.
    Tell me how he left.
    Tell me how she left. 

    Tell me how you lost everything that you had.
    
Tell me that it ain't ever coming back.
    
Tell me about God. Tell me about love.
    
Tell me that it's all of the above. 

    Say you think of everything in fear.
    I bet you're not the only one who does."

    "You ran that night that you left me ,
    You put me in my place.
    I got you in a stranglehold baby,
    Then I crushed your face."

    Nobody writes love songs like Ted.

    "Red solo cup, you're more than just a cup...you're my friend." Makes me smile everytime I hear it. It's just a fun song.

    "Charlie's wife goes down to the Scollay Square station every day at quarter past to and through the open window she hands Charlie a sandwich as the train comes rumblin' through. Well did he ever return, no he never returned and his fate is still unlearned...". Why didn't she give him the fare??? (The MTA by the Kingston Trio)
