This is a good thread, but a tough one with so many great lyrics.
I agree that the "curious moonbeam" line and all of Now and Then are among my favorites.
Too Late for Praying has many as well;
Skies of blue, have all turned brown, to the sound of sighing,
For each child with eyes that smile, they'll be ten more crying..
And for descriptive phrasing, the first line of "Too Many Clues in This Room" comes cheerily to mind.

Way too many to list. It's why Gord is so far above the rest.
