I think the first verse of Dreams is brilliantly written.

I have too many favorites to mention but what comes to my mind right now:

"I have come to know this world of changing faces, i cant fight the world i cant change it."

"Love is... what you believe it is" ... "knowing that it must seem to you lie the angels aren't doing there work for you, its true."

so much more....

1. Wait a minute baby, stay with me awhile. You said you give me light, but you never told me about the fire........

Wow, just Wow... I agree with rhiannondontgo. The whole song is poetry in motion, the fire in the rain, the sage that inspires our dreams.

"You go down to the laundromat... maybe... your sister is there."

Absolutely beautiful!

hahahahah. That one made my day.
Lest we forget the Chimpanzee and Egypt lines. Street Angel was full of lyrics that make you tilt your head to the side and say WTF the first time you hear it. Gotta love it though.

Stevie has so many great lyrics that it would be impossible for me to pick an absolute favorite, but one of them I find the most profound is from Jane:

"Through a window, all our sorrows would become our only visions"

Agreed.

Also-

You've left me now, and it's seasoned my soul

My mind won't rest and I don't sleep, not even in my dreams

Have you come to see, that my face isn't seen....outside my frost-covered windows

I haven't felt this way I feel, since many a year ago. But in those years and the lifetimes past I did not deal with the road. And I did not deal with you I know, though the love has always been


We all believe in people...That we think believe in God

I second the " deal with situation, not the torment " line.
And I also love "lightening strikes, maybe once, maybe twice"
So many to choose from!

Love all the ones mentioned! Take on the situation but not the torment has gotten me thru so many tough times. Here are some of my favs:

"And the days go by... they go into the seas that have no shores, haunted by that same closed door, looking up at skies on fire ~ leaving nothing left of us to discover..."

"Hearts made of crystal crumble like castles of sand"

"Look at me with daggers, it won't do you any good. All the looks that you used on me don't work now that you've fallen."

"And as her world turns she feels so alone."

"When you hang up that phone, well you cease to exist."

"A dream begun in wine..."

"I heard the islands calling, I hear angry words flying across the ocean like some seabirds, never stopping. I feel my blood racing, I can't believe what you are saying ~ I used to love you so much..."

"Well you could use a dreamer somewhere on your side."

"...but I am something of a dreamer."

Off the top of my head...some favorite Stevie lines-

"It's the Wicked to Wizard of Oz"

"It's like Kashmir....but not."

And the ultimate line: "So, when Lindsey and I moved to L.A.................................
