Wow. I did not expect to be so moved. It started out a bit tongue in cheek with little bo peep and wile e (a favorite of mine) but it totally brought me in. Your voice and stripped guitar were heartbreaking.

Reminded me of Steve Earl’s Ellis Unit One, another song about an end.

Well done,thanks so much for sharing.

Cheers

Dave
