DezB almost got it right (and iirc he’s even posted this one on my behalf so shame on him for posting je ne me quitte pas!
Sorry metalheart 😊 I’ll find some more later, but thread has come a week too late for me, if you get my drift...

Automatic Savile-detector on the new forum working well.
The simplicity of Dusty's love triangle heartbreak.
You've been crying your face is a mess
Come in baby, you can wipe the tears on my dress
She's hurt you again, I can tell
I know that look so well
Canny believe Al Green has not been mentioned, How can you mend a broken heart, For the good times, funny how time flies by all cracking covers

Another of Emmylou’s songs, this one can break my heart if it catches me in a fragile mood. It’s a song I’d like played at my funeral, and I’ve been fortunate to see her play it live.
