The last time she kissed my cheek
Her lips were like the wilted leaves
Upon the autumn covered hills
Resting on the frozen ground
The seeds of love lie cold and still
Beneath a battered marking stone
It lies forgotten

<sigh> XXXO Monica :confused:

"Her name was Anne, and I'll be damned if I recall her face."

internal rhyme of perfection in this Carefree Hwy couplet.

The Rez

Too many, and many already listed. OK here's one from Long Way Back Home

Oh say can you see, my best friend is me
I'm a friend I could use

Slightly off topic. My couplet has not yet been spoken or sung by the Man but it would be my favourite . It would be :

"The Australians have waited since 1974 ,
Maybe its time I paid them a visit".

LOL!!

How 'bout:

"Triangle of Wonder oh, hear my heart's thunder
Carry me away to those good folks Down Under"

Wow! That even impressed me!

The Rez

"Is there someone sowing seams through all my hopes, through all my dreams? You know living a life of ease don't make your meals taste better, if you please"

pretentious, moi?

"You got faith, to make you meet the cost,
and you know you’d best not wait,
He who hesitates is lost."

Kaibab:

Metaphores? Wonderful. Start us up the topic and I'll join in with ya.

Don Q: Reasons behind the couplet choices? Also, wonderful. Glad to see that's begun.

If I may, a double couplet:

For me, tonight. For me, 20yrs ago tonight.
For Cindy . . . yet w/ absolute Thanksgiving for the Lord restoring owr relationship, as I had the priviledge of singing for her son and daughter - from pre-school thru 6th grade at Maranatha Christian Acadamy - in my guise as Uncle Ned.

Still . . .

It's a wicked wind
And it chills me to the bone
And if you do not believe me
Come and gaze upon the shadow at your door

Vulnerable tonigt, I guess,

The Rez

wasn't that a quadruplet???
John Fowles
While the young ones slept overhead
Beneath the quilts that mother made, when all the prayers were said

"Oh where have you gone...what have we done.....
Where have you gone.....Harmony"

That line always gets to me. Well, the whole song actually!

"One day time will tell,when your livin' in yesterday."

"Thinkin' of things to do,thinkin' of things to say."

"Thinking of things divine...find a bottom line!"

"Is the there anybody home?"
"Don't you know I'm all alone?"
"Can you tell me where I am?"
"All I can do....is love you 'til the end...of all time." ;)

Can't tell you why tonite (would if I could,) but what keeps running thru my brain is:

"When I stand on my on sod
It feels so good to be home, by God"

Perhaps my time on The Highway is not yet done.

I will look forward to the knowing when this couplet of Gord's becomes The Rez', also.

The Rez

"Does anyone know where the love of God goes,
when the waves turn the minutes to hours"

- The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

I can think of no better phrase that captures the desolation those brave souls must have felt, as they were tossed about like inanimate flotsam on the water.

Yes musky, I thought of that line when I saw this topic. It's one to remember...

"Listen to the pictures flow
Across the room into your mind they go..."

"....and it shines on and on,
'til all sadness is gone.
...and if children had wings,
I would sing them their song."

"With a smile on my face and a tear in my eye,
everything...will be fine by and by."

(I get so melancholy after that line *sniff*. :(

Tonite Dear Ones,

I'm still suffering the Joy of singing for a jillion kids on the radio, out of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, this very early morn.

This couplet would be most welcome:

"And she rubs my feet while the sun goes down
And the wheels of love go round:

Cotton Jenny: I'm sore.

The Rez

This couplet just won't let go tonite.

Appropriate . . .

"Well the kind of test that I like the best is rubbin' the wrong girl right."

The Rez

PS: Seems like Gord took to singin' "lovin'" instead of "rubbin'" back when the tune was in rotation. But, I still like the "rubbin'" thing better.

This one's been running through my head today:

You might walk a lonely street
Until one day you chance to meet
A stranger who might ask where have you been

"I've been out drinking all day, I got carried away at the parlour last night." Its funny at first, but tragic in a way. One of my favourite songs.

Definitely in my Top Ten.
