John Prine nails it, and so matter of factly but sweetly too. Reminds me of Dylan because he says so much in so little words and it's pure poetry. I have listened to this song so many times, but today it grabbed ahold of me like songs and poetry sometime do.I wept because it is about my life. It is hard to hold on, but I do have hope that he still loves me. And I'm turning 50. I never ever thought I'd end up here. (I'm named after my mother too, and she was at this place in her life when she was my age, but she has a very full life now and my dad got it together. She held on.)
