All of mine are from Leonard Cohen. Here's one:
you try the handle of the road
it opens, do not be afraid
it's you my love, you who are the stranger
it is you my love, you who ae the stranger

Or how about:
and just when I was sure that his teaching was pure,
he drowned himself in the pool.
his body is gone but out here on the lawn
his spirit continues to drool

There’s a poppy wreath on a soldier’s tomb,
There’s a poppy snake in a dressing room.

Joni Mitchell

In a little space above the music
I wish upon your face
I wish upon my dreams
In the middle of this crazy world bubbling with pretty pearls and spinning through the blue
