Song Lyric Sunday — Last Shift

image link The theme for Song Lyric Sunday is last. In my search for the chosen song, I ran across this one. Had never heard it before, but I absolutely LOVE Richard Thompson, as a songwriter, singer, and guitarist. This is a very sad and political song. I dedicate it to Coal Miners and Their…
