Kiss Me When You're Through - WIllie Nelson

Kiss Me When You're Through - Willie Nelson
2:45
The Border, 2024
Written by Willie Nelson and Buddy Cannon

A love letter that twists the genre on its head by playing down the power of pretty words, this gentle ballad cedes that there may be dark times in love.  You may say you hate the other person.  You may not show up for them.  You may not complete their dreams.  "And you tell me that you wish / That you never heard of me / When you close your eyes / I'm not the one you see."  Sometimes love inspires strong feelings of a different kind.  But once that's all out of your system, the narrator says to his paramour, "kiss me when you're through."  Sometimes you don't need words.
