Good observation.

Good observation.
In fact I was also thinking about the same subject recently.
Here are two more example of words linking.
For the second example, I did not catch the hope_and until I read the lyrics.






Place_a name upon the night
One to set_your heart_alight

from Enya: Paint the Sky with Stars




Faith hope_and love_are some good things he gave us
And the greatest_is love

from Where Were You (When the World Stop Turning)
