Got'cha covered, Connie! My analyst told me

It's knowing that your door is always open and your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to keep my sleeping bag rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds, and the ink stains that have dried up on some line,
That keeps you in the backroads by the rivers of my memory,
that keeps you ever Gentle On

boronia - the comment was not on the merits of the song, in fact, I quite like the song, but on your attribution of the artist. Did Helen Reddy really do a version of Mercedes Benz? Eh, probably. But the thought of it makes me giggle. And I'll bet 999 people out of 1000 would first think of the Janis Joplin version.

But wine is all I have
Will your love ever be mine?
"Kiss Me", Stephen (Tintin) Duffy

Like a man done throwed that rock down into de sea
Got dem Saint Louis Blues I'm as blue as ah can be.
Louis Armstrong recorded this song in New York, January 14, 1925
with blues singer Bessie Smith on her classic recording.
I ain't ever loved it this-a way before
I ain't ever loved it this-a way before
And I hope the Lord that I won't love it any more
I've got so now that I can't control my mind
I've got so now that I can't control my mind

Coffee Grindin' Blues - Lucille Bogan
Under the Arctic fire
Over the seas of silence
Hauling on frozen ropes
For all my days remaining
But would north be true?
All colours bleed to red
Asleep on the ocean's bed
Drifting in empty seas
For all my days remaining
But would north be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Sting - Soul Cages (1990)
Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence. ...
Paul Simon, 1965
I went to my brother to ask for a loan
'cause I was busted.
the food that we planted last summer was gone,
and I was busted.
My brother said "Ray, there ain't a thing I can do,
me and my wife are both down with the flu,
and I was just thinking 'bout calling on you,
because I'm busted."

Blister In The Sun, The Violent Femmes
I'm walking, yes indeed I'm talking

I'm Walking
Music and lyrics by Antoine Domino and Dave Bartholomew (performed by Rick Nelson)

And I just gotta add:
Baby baby, sweet baby
I didn't mean to run you away

To say the things that made you stray
But ah, babe
Hear me now

I don't know what I'm gonna do

Got to get you back somehow

Tonight, tonight, won't be just any night,
Tonight there will be no morning star
Tonight, tonight, I'll see my love tonight.

and still the sky is light
Oh moon, grow bright,
And make this endless day endless night!

Remember the Rose Bowl, we'll win then,

Makes me lonely, so lonely, and blue.
