Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain

Columbia, under Sony. Love is like a dying ember. He does not blow on it for the crowd.

Columbia released it. Sony owns Columbia. Nelson sings Fred Rose as if the room were a kitchen after the person has gone to the car. The hope of meeting again is in it. So is the fact that this life is the one where the eyes are wet.

Play it at a real goodbye. Do not use it to avoid the goodbye.

A Case of You

Reprise, under Warner. Devotion, said with a frightening steadiness.

Reprise released Blue. Warner holds it. The line everybody knows is a measure of how specifically she loves, not how much she can consume. Hear it wrong and it is an addiction. Hear it right and it is a woman who has memorized a person.

A house can aspire to the attention. It should keep another drink in the house besides the beloved.

Live historicallyPlay it for the person, then name three things about them you would still know if the feeling left.
