I got a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin'
On the ground

It was so clear to me that it was almost invisible.
Neko Case, Middle Cyclone

And there are so many by John Prine:

There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes.
Sam Stone

I feel about as welcome as a Wal-Mart superstore.
Talking a Walk

Grief is a word to describe the absence of feeling
Now I know, Cowboy Junkies

And of course, the great Leonard Cohen (I agree with Anthem quote above) from Light as the Breeze

And she says, drink deeply, pilgrim
But don't forget there's still a woman
Beneath this
Resplendent chemise.

And Joni Mitchell

Mama's nylons underneath my cowgirl jeans
Song for Sharon

As snow gathers like bolts of lace
Waltzing on a ballroom girl
Hejira

We'll Make Great Pets! Porno for Pyros


Children are innocent
Teenagers are f*cked up in the head
Adults are even more f*cked up
And elderlies are like children
Will there be another race
To come along and take over for us?
Maybe martians could do
Better than we've done
We'll make great pets!

So many, but this one strikes me as the kids in my life get older (though I suspect it is about the end of a romantic relationship):

I wish that I could be a journey's end
But you are only passing through,
It's not for me to try to steer your way
I wish you well in all you do

Just say you'll watch how you go
Be gracious with your light
And may the years be kind now
Just say you'll mind how you roam
The things that we have shared
Will soon be left behind now

I hope you know that you're a graceful soul
You fill the room with hope and light
It's only right that you should go your way
'Cause nothing ever lasts that long


-- Keane, Watch How You Go

and

You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has seen
A place that has to be believed to be seen.

-- U2, Walk On

So good but I like “no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun,” a bit more.

Two words!
Rock, chalk, shot a jayhawk
Never been in jail 'cause I never get caught
I got smarts, dark, dangerous dog
ODB got it right from the start
You got one and you changed from crazy to calm
I've been awake for days in the dusk and the dawn
And you're loving me whether you want to or not
But I want you for sure, I am loving you more

I see art
You see class
You think (you think)
You ask (you ask)
You say darling am I a chore?
I said I know you love me, I am loving you more

I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)
That's how the light gets in
