At night when you can't sleep...and your conscience pleads for forgiveness...Emmylou has framed this human experience in this song. The human conscience wrenches you awake to suffer again the shame or the pain of old transgressions whether real or imagined. It's a force of life that steers us to forgiveness lest souls be lost in the compexities of life. Emmylou Harris has this poetic gift that weighs the human soul over and over again. So few country singers can channel the human heart...the human soul as these lyrics by Emmylou.

That courageous voice and those dear trembling hands, heroic.
Another great track from "Cowgirl's Prayer," one of my favorite Emmylou Harris albums.
Nice guitar work, Emmy. Beautiful.
You can hear the sadness in her voice.
She brought out the best in Gram before he died. Now he brings out the best in her.
