So many. For me, I could write till I get carpel tunnel. Here's a few for you.

"I don't want to own the key,to some ghostly mansion where souls are set free" Holy Sh..! Its the tone of his voice when he sings this line that really works me over.

"Where does the love of God go when the waves turn the minutes to hours?" If you havent seen Lake Superior in her ugly mood, you need to!

"...lying back in her satin dress in a room where you do what you don't confess". Brilliant!

" I bought you a dime diamond ring". Wealth in the eyes of a child! Good job Gord.
