And you know the sun's settin' fast,
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts.
Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye,
But hold on to your lover,

    I saw Iris some years ago in Ann Arbor, MI. She was on the same bill with Leo Kottke. She sounded good but was so nervous I felt sorry for her. I've never seen an artist so out of sorts on stage before.

    I never heard this song until two days ago - I was stationed overseas when Northern Exposure was on TV so I never saw it. I love this song - it does choke me up.

    One of the rare songs where I literally cannot do anything but listen to it as soon as it comes up in the album. No matter I'm doing - cleaning, homework, reading - I drop it and listen. And get choked up.

    Wonderful Iris DeMent should have far, far more listeners! Especially to her remarkable song, "My Life"
