re: Best line or two of lyrics ever....

quote:

---

But it's just a box of rain
or a ribbon for your hair,
Such a long, long time to be gone
and a short time to be there

---

Grateful Dead - Box of Rain (Robert Hunter Lyrics)

quote:

---

So forget about your yesterdays of sorrow
And forget about the darkness you have seen
For there's only you and me at the edge of an endless sea
And remember that the only time is now

---

Grateful Dead - The Only Time is Now (Jerry Garcia Lyrics)

quote:

---

I ain't often right
but I've never been wrong
It seldom turns out the way
it does in the song
Once in a while
you get shown the light
in the strangest of places
if you look at it right

---

Grateful Dead - Scarlet Begonias (Robert Hunter lyrics)

I'm not sure I followed your rule, but those are some of my favorites from the dead.
