The saddest words I've ever spoken were the words "It might have been"

Standing in line at the Bank of America nobody spoke, they were in the house of God

And I still dream I will walk on the moon If the moon isn't holding me down.

Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.

Bob Seger. Against the Wind.

Its a simple line, no big words. However, it is perfect. You'd be more likely to see it in a poem than a rock song.

Whatchy'all got?

OLD EYES in a young childs face,
watching as the shadows race.
..through walls and cracks that leave no trace,
and daylight brightly shone.
