Norah Jones Lyrics Book

My Journal

February 23, 2003 Norah Jones took the music world by surprise with her debut album Come away with Me. The multi-platinum selling release from a small jazz label made its way into the psyches of music listeners almost by osmosis. The album had no initial radio promotion and no video in high rotation, just Jones's smooth voice and an audience ready for something quiet and classic. Far less well known than her fellow nominees, Jones earned five nominations for Grammy Awards. In the night of the 45th Annual Grammy Awards, she went home with an armload of trophies, winning for every category in which she was nominated. Her follow-up album, Feels Like Home, followed a different, steeper path when released in 2004: Jones's second effort shot straight to number one, selling one million copies in its first week alone.

Come Away With Me Come away with me on a bus Come away where they can't tempt us With their lies I want to walk with you On a cloudy day In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high So won't you try to come Come away with me and we'll kiss On a mountaintop Come away with me And I'll never stop loving you

And I want to wake up with the rain Falling on a tin roof While I'm safe there in your arms So all I ask is for you To come away with me in the night Come away with me

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Know Why I I I I

I waited 'til I saw the sun don't know why I didn't come left you by the house of fun don't know why I didn't come don't know why I didn't come

When I saw the break of day I wished that I could fly away Instead of kneeling in the sand Catching teardrops in my hand My heart is drenched in wine But you'll be on my mind Forever

Out across the endless sea I would die in ecstasy But I'll be a bag of bones Driving down the road along My heart is drenched in wine But you'll be on my mind Forever Something has to make you run I don't know why I didn't come I feel as empty as a drum I don't know why I didn't come I don't know why I didn't come I don't know why I didn't come

Here We Go Again Here we go again He's back in town again I'll take him back again One more time Here we go again The phone will ring again I'll be her fool again, I will One more time I've been there before And I will try it again Any fool, any fool knows That there's no, no way to win Here we go again She'll break my heart again, yeah I'll play the part again One more time

I've been there before, you know what? I will try it again But any fool, any fool knows That there's no, no way to win Here we go again She'll break my heart again, yeah I'll play the part again One more time I'll take her back again One more time I will

Sunrise Sunrise Sunrise Looks like morning in your eyes But the clocks held 9:15 for hours Sunrise Sunrise Couldn't tempt us if it tried Cuz the afternoon's already come and gone And i said ooooooooooo Ooooooooooooooo Oooooooooooooooo To you Surprise Surprise Couldn't find it in your eyes But I'm sure it's written all over my face

Surprise Surprise Never something I could hide When I see we made it through another day Then I say Oh, oh, oh To you And now good night Will throw its cover down on me again Oh, and if I'm right It's the only way to bring me back Oh, oh, oh To you Oh, oh, oh To you

Little Broken Hearts Little broken hearts of the night Slowly picking up their knives On the way to the fight Tonight they want revenge Beautiful soldiers in their beds Making love inside their hands With no chance to defend Tonight could be their end With the weapons in their hands And their eyes closed as they stand Can they end it all tonight so easily? Did the darkness of their days Make them let go of their light? Will they want to find a way To make it all right?

When the beautiful awake See the sadness in their eyes Will they want to find a way To make it all right, To make it all right? Only the fallen need to rise What if lightning strikes them twice? Will they give up on their lives And finally divide? Did the darkness of their days Make them let go of their light? Can they ever find a way To sleep side by side? When the beautiful awake See the sadness in their eyes Will they ever find a way To sleep side by side, To sleep side by side?

Say Goodbye Bring me back the good old days, When you let me misbehave. Always knew, it wouldn't last, But if you ask, I'd go again. Yeah, I'd go again. It's alright, it's okay, I don't need you anyway. You don't have to tell the truth, Cause if you do I'll tell it too. Oh, I'll tell it too. Well, it ain't easy to stay in love If you can't tell lies, So I'll just have to take a bow And say goodbye.

I'm loosened up, but it's too late to turn it around. I'm dropping bolts on the ground and I'm coming unwound. Don't you miss the good old days, When I let you misbehave? Why you're looking down like that? I know that you dying to come back, Please come on back. Well, it ain't easy to stay in love When you're telling lies, So I'll just have to take a bow And say goodbye.

Happy Pills Trying to pick up the pace Trying to make it so I never see your face again Time to throw this away Wanna make sure that you never waste my time again How do you feel, Oh, how does it feel to be you right now, dear? You broke this apart, So pick up your piece and go away from here Please just let me go now? Please just let me gorn Would you please just let me go now? Please just let me gorn Pick it out (4x) Never said we'd be friends

Trying to keep myself away from you coz you\'re bad, bad news With you gone, I\'m alone, makes me feel like I took happy pills and time stands still How does it feel? Oh how does it feel to be the one shut out You broke all the rules, I won't be a fool for you no more, my dear Please just let me go now Please just let me go Would you Please just let me go now Please just let me go Out of my picture (4x) Please just let me go now Please just let me go Please just let me go now Please just Pick it out

Good Morning Good morning My thoughts on leaving are back on the table I thought you should know And maybe powerful actions Or powerful feelings Will keep me from going I’m folding my hand, hand (2x) Good morning Why did you do it? I couldn’t sleep I knew you were gone Our loving is all I was after But you couldn’t give it So I’m moving on I’m folding my hand, hand (2x)

Come Away With Me
