Sultry vocalist and pianist Norah Jones developed her unique blend of jazz and traditional vocal pop with hints of bluesy country and contemporary folk due in large part to her unique upbringing. Born March 30, 1979, in New York City, the daughter of Ravi Shankar quietly grew up in Texas with her mother. While she always found the music of Billie Holiday and Bill Evans both intriguing and comforting, she didn't really explore jazz until attending Dallas' Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. During high school, Jones won the Down Beat Student Music Awards for Best Jazz Vocalist and Best Original Composition in 1996, and earned a second Best Jazz Vocalist award in 1997. Putting her vocal talents on the back burner, Jones worked toward earning a degree in jazz piano at the University of North Texas for two years before accepting a friend's offer of a summer sublet in Greenwich Village during the summer of 1999. Although she fully intended to return to college that fall, the lure of the folk coffeehouses and jazz clubs proved too strong and she was soon inspired to write her own songs. Jones appeared regularly with the trip-hop-electronica band Wax Poetic and assembled her own group around songwriters Jesse Harris (guitar) and Lee Alexander (bass), with Dan Rieser on drums. In October of 2000, the group recorded a handful of demos for Blue Note Records and on the strength of these recordings, Jones signed to the jazz label in early 2001. Following an appearance on Charlie Hunter's Songs from the Analog Playground, Jones spent much of 2001 performing live with Hunter's group and working on material for her debut. Come Away with Me, recorded by Craig Street (Cassandra Wilson, Manhattan Transfer, k.d. lang) and legendary producer Arif Mardin (Aretha Franklin, Dusty Springfield, the Bee Gees), was released in early 2002 and garnered much public attention. The combination of her striking beauty and the fact that she was the daughter of an internationally renowned musician placed Jones in the awkward position of defending her music from those who dismissed her as another pretty face (the same argument used by those opposed to Diana Krall) and/or another riding the coattails of her musical royal heritage (see Natalie Cole, Miki Coltrane, Corey Parker). Although not by any stretch a "jazz" album (the label chose to call it "jazz-informed"), it featured jazz guitarist Bill Frisell and session drummer Brian Blade, and indicated a new direction for Blue Note combining jazz aesthetics and talent with a pop sensibility. Come Away with Me eventually went multi-platinum, selling 18 million copies worldwide and winning Jones eight Grammy Awards. In 2004, Jones released her highly anticipated follow-up album, Feels Like Home. Pairing once again with producer Arif Mardin, Jones pursued a similar approach to Come Away with Me, mixing '70s singer/songwriter-style tracks with blues, country, and her own mellow take on piano jazz. In 2003, Jones played in a group called the Little Willies along with Lee Alexander (bass), Richard Julian (guitar/vocals), Dan Rieser (drums), and Jim Campilongo (guitar), playing covers of classic American music like Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson. This one-off performance ultimately turned into sporadic shows at the venue whenever their individual schedules would allow, slowly incorporating original songs into their set along the way. In time, the Little Willies began considering the release of a live album, but instead wound up documenting their sound in the recording studio. Milking Bull Records issued the resultant self-titled album in March 2006. Late in 2006, the single "Thinking About You" announced a return to her solo career. It landed on the album Not Too Late, released in early 2007. The Fall arrived in 2009, followed in 2010 by ...Featuring Norah Jones, a collection of musical collaborations. The following year Jones was asked to provide some vocals for Danger Mouse (aka Brian Burton) and Italian composer Daniele Luppi's spaghetti Western project, Rome. Burton returned the favor in 2012 by producing and co-writing the songs on Jones' fifth studio album, Little Broken Hearts. She next teamed with Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong in a project to re-create the classic 1958 Everly Brothers album Songs Our Daddy Taught Us. Recorded in nine days with bassist Tim Luntzel and drummer Dan Rieser, Foreverly was released in 2013.

Come away with me
Don't know why
I waited 'til I saw the sun I don't know why I didn't come I left you by the house of fun I don't know why I didn't come I 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 alone 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
Seven Years
Spinning, laughing, dancing to her favorite song A little girl with nothing wrong Is all alone Eyes wide open Always hoping for the sun And she'll sing her song to anyone that comes along Fragile as a leaf in autumn Just fallin to the ground Without a sound Crooked little smile on her face Tells a tale of grace Thats all her own Spinning, laughing, dancing to her favorite song A little girl with nothing wrong And she's all alone.
Cold cold heart
I've tried so hard, my dear, to show that you're my every dream Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart? Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue And so my heart is payin' now for things I didn't do In anger, unkind words I say that make the teardrops start Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart? There was a time where I believed that you belonged to me But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory The more I learn to care for you, the more we drift apart Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart?
*** Thanx a lot to Arne who corrected a mistake ***
Feelin' the same way
The sun just slipped its note below my door And I can't hide beneath my sheets I've read the words before so now I know The time has come again for me And I'm feelin' the same way all over again Feelin' the same way all over again Singin' the same lines all over again No matter how much I pretend Another day that I can't find my head My feet don't look like they're my own I'll try and find the floor below to stand And I hope I reach it once again And I'm feelin' the same way... So many times I wonder where I've gone And how I found my way back in I look around awhile for something lost Maybe I'll find it in the end And I'm feelin' the same way...
Come away with me in the night Come away with me And I will write you a song Come away with me on a bus Come away where they cant 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 wont 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
Shoot the moon
The summer days are gone too soon You shoot the moon And miss completely And now you're left to face the gloom The empty room that once smelled sweetly Of all the flowers you plucked if only You knew the reason Why you had to each be lonely Was it just the season? Now the fall is here again You cant begin to give in It's all over When the snows come rolling though You're rolling too with some new lover Will you think of times you've told me That you knew the reason Why we had to each be lonely It was just the season
Turn me on
Like a flower Waiting to bloom Like a lightbulb In a dark room Im just sittin here waiting for you To come on home and turn me on Like the desert waiting for the rain Like a school kid waiting for the spring Im just sitting here waiting for you To come on home and turn me on My poor heart Its been so dark Since youve been gone After all your the one who turns me off You're the only one who can turn me back on My hi-fi is waiting for a new tune My glass is waiting for some fresh ice cubes I'm just sitting here waiting for you To come on home and turn me on Turn me on
*** Thanx a lot to Esther for this one *** Lonestar
Lonestar where are you out tonight This feeling I'm trying to fight It's dark and I think that I would give anything For you to shine down on me How far you are I just don't know The distance I'm willing to go I pick up a stone that I cast to the sky Hoping for some kind of sign
I've got to see you
Lines on your face don't bother me Down in my chair when you dance over me I can't help myself I've got to see you again Late in the night when I'm all alone And I look at the clock and I know you're not home I can't help myself I've got to see you again I could almost go there Just to watch you be seen I could almost go there Just to live in a dream But no I won't go for any of those things To not touch your skin is not why I sing I can't help myself I've got to see you again I could almost go there... No I won't go to share you with them But oh even though I know where You've been I can't help myself I've got to see you again Painter song
If I were a painter I would paint my reverie If that's the only way for you to be with me We'd be there together Just like we used to be Underneath the swirling skies for all to see And I'm dreaming of a place Where I could see your face And I think my brush would take me there But only... If I were a painter And could paint a memory I'd climb inside the swirling skies to be with you I'd climb inside the skies to be with you
One flight down
One flight down There's a song on low And your mind just picked up on the sound Now you know you're wrong Because it drifts like smoke And it's been there playing all along Now you know Now you know The reeds and brass have been weaving Leading into a single note In this place Where your arms unfold Here at last you see your ancient face Now you know Now you know The cadence rolls in broken Plays it over and then goes One flight down There's a song on low And it's been there playing all along Now you know Now you know Nightingale
Nightingale Sing us a song Of a love that once belonged Nightingale Tell me your tale Was your journey far too long? Does it seem like I'm looking for an answer To a question I can't ask I don't know which way the feather falls Or if I should blow it to the left All the voices that are spinnin' around me Trying to tell me what to say Can I fly right behind you And you can take me away
The long day is over
Feeling tired By the fire The long day is over The wind is gone Asleep at dawn The embers burn on With no reprise The sun will rise The long day is over The nearness of you
It's not the pale moon that excites me That thrills and delights me, oh no It's just the nearness of you It isn't your sweet conversation That brings this sensation, oh no It's just the nearness of you When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me All my wildest dreams come true I need no soft lights to enchant me If you'll only grant me the right To hold you ever so tight And to feel in the night the nearness of you
New York City
I can't remember what I planned tomorrow I can't remember when it's time to go When I look in the mirror Tracing lines with a pencil I remember what came before I wanted to think there was endless love Until I saw the light dim in your eyes In the dead of the night I found out Sometimes there's love that won't survive New York City Such a beautiful disease New York City Such a beautiful, Such a beautiful disease Laura kept all her disappointments Locked up in a box behind her closet door She pulled the blinds and listened to the thunder With no way out from the family store We all told her things could get better When you just say goodbye I'll lay awake one more night Caught in a vision I want to deny And did I mention the note that I found Taped to my locked front door It talked about no regrets As it slipped from my hand to the scuffed tile floor I rode the train for hours on end And watched the people pass me by It could be that it has no end Just an action junkie's lullaby New York City We were full of the stuff that every dream rested As if floating on a lumpy pillow sky Caught up in the whole illusion That dreams never pass us by Came to a tattoed conclusion That the big one was knocking on the door What started as a mass delusion Would take me far from the place I adore New York City
Strange Transmissions
I believe, you say Don't think, we stay Drawn through the ebb Lost in the flower Beneath my breath, I confess My world, loved less The devil held the proof for me to know I could only fight for the longest while But with the truth out baby I belong to you I stoop, to find My place, entwined I took it to the bottom one more time I could only fight for the longest while But with the truth out baby I belong to you I could trip and I want you to know Very time I think that I think I should go I receive strange transmissions
Deceptively yours
I couldn't make a change I might have known you had found Another love I sat at home all night Bask in the lonely pale Of my bedstand light But through a tear in a curtain In a cheap motel I saw with jealous eyes You made the call to lie Deceptively yours I saw a black cloud I didn't hear a sound Only the shell on the ground There was a scream somewhere And in the thick night air I put the pedal down As the sirens wailed And I sat alone and prayed Not knowing what was to come But through a tear in a curtain In a cheap motel I saw with jealous eyes You made the call to lie Deceptively yours I tried not to believe Teh scene that I could see It felt like days passez by Before I truend away I felt a dizzy sway And the gun in my hand Stood before a judge He cleared his throat to say "I won't give you no bail" Schackled with chains or love I knew that I had bought My own coffin nails I hear your sweet voice calling out my name As I stare from a six foot cell And from beyond I heard the words Deceptively yours
All your love
All of your love, baby, can it be mine All of your love, baby, can it be mine I'll hate to be the one, the one that you left behind All of your love, baby, don't you fool around All of your love, baby, don't fool around Love is a one thing, baby, that you won't find on the ground All of your love, I've got to have it one of these days All of your love, I've got to have it one day Don't you leave me sweet baby, please come one back this way Come on back this way Give me all your love Give it to me right now All your love Don't mess around with my love Heart of mine
Heart of mine, Be still You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill Don't let him know Don't let him know that you love him Oh, don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine Heart of mine, Go back home You've got no reason to wander No reason to roam Don't let him see Don't let him see that you need him Oh, don't push yourself over the line Heart of mine Heart of mine, Go back where you been The only trouble with you Is if you let him in Don't let him hear Don't let him hear where you're goin' Oh, I'm tired of ties that bind Heart of mine Heart of mine, So malicious and so full of guile I give you an inch And you take a mile Don't let yourself fall Don't let yourself stumble Oh, do the time, don't do the crime Heart of mine Heart of mine… Oh, oh, oh… Heart of mine…
Things you don't have to do
I walk down the diamond studded concrete canyon Nobody looked me in the eye Tried to fly to the moon Only made it to the sky I was looking, looking for I couldn't find a friend Searching for a clear connection Without a digital send Ain't it just a little scary sometimes To find the lies that you know to be true I'll find you smiling about Things you don't have to do Bill doesn't call me anymore I hear he's found religion Big haired blonde apprentice beautician And all the words and gesticulations that came before Don't seem to mean a thing You can feel fine to drop a dime If you're ever hanging by a string Ain't it just a little scary sometimes To find the lies that you know to be true I'll find you smiling about Things you don't have to do I hear voices crying out Echoes on the boulevard Contentious rambling incantations Of some senile bard There's too much going on around here To keep my head from spinning And this constant acceleration Blurs any ties to the beginning Ain't it just a little scary sometimes To find the lies that you know to be true I'll find you smiling about Things you don't have to do
Feels like home
*** Thanx a lot to Lukasz for these lyrics ***
Sunrise Sunrise, sunrise Looks like morning in your eyes But the clock's held 9:15 for hours Sunrise, sunrise Couldn't tempt us if it tried 'Cause the afternoon's already come and gone And I say hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo Do 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 And I say hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo Do you? And now the night Will throw its cover down mmmmm, on me again Ooooh, and if I'm right It's the only way to bring me back hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo Do you? hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo Do you? What am I to You What am I to you Tell me darling true To me you are the sea Fast as you can be And deep the shade of blue When you're feeling low To whom else do you go See I cry if you hurt I'd give you my last shirt Because I love you so If my sky should fall Would you even call Opened up my heart I never want to part I'm giving you the ball When I look in your eyes I can feel the butterflies I love you when you're blue Tell me darlin' true What am I to you Yeah well if my sky should fall Would you even call Opened up my heart Never wanna part I'm giving you the ball When I look in your eyes I can feel the butterflies Could you find a love in me Could you carve me in a tree Don't fill my heart with lies I will you love when you're blue Tell me darlin' true What am I to you What am I to you What am I to you What did You say What did you say I know I saw you saying it My ears won't stop ringing Long enough to hear Those sweet words What did you say And now the day The hour hand has spun Before the night is done I just have to hear Those sweet words Spoken like a melody All your love Is a lost balloon Rising up through the afternoon 'Til it could fit on the head of a pin Come on in Did you have a hard time sleeping 'Cause a heavy moon was keeping you awake And all I know is I'm just glad to see you again See my love Like a lost balloon Rising up through the afternoon And then you appear What did you say I know I saw you saying it My ears won't stop ringing Long enough to hear Those sweet words And your simple melody I just have to hear Your sweet words Spoken like a melody I just wanna hear Those sweet words
Carnival Town Round 'n' round Carousel Has got you under it's spell Moving so fast but Going nowhere Up 'n' down Ferris wheel Tell me how does it feel To be so high Looking down here Is it lonely Lonely Lonely Did the clown Make you smile He was only your fool for a while Now he's gone back home And left you wandering there Is it lonely Lonely Lonely In the morning I can't stop myself from callin' Callin' out your name I can't stop myself from fallin' Fallin' back again In the mornin' Baby in the afternoon Dark like the shady corners Inside a violin Hot like to burn my lips I know I can't win In the mornin' Baby in the afternoon I tried to quit you but I'm too weak Wakin' up without you I can hardly speak at all My girlfriend tried to help me To get you off my mind She tried a little tea and sympathy To get me to unwind In the mornin' Baby in the afternoon Funny how my favorite shirt Smells more like you than me Bitter traces left behind Stains no one can see In the mornin' Baby in the afternoon You're gonna put me in an early grave I know I'm your slave whenever you call I can't stop myself from callin' Callin' out your name I can't stop myself from fallin' Fallin' back again Fallin' back again Fallin' back again Fallin' back again Fallin' back again Be here to love Me Your eyes seek conclusion in all this confusion of mine Though you and I both know it's only the warm glow of wine That's got you to feeling this way, but I don't care, I want you to stay And hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today Children are dancin', the gamblers are chancin' their all The window's accusing the door of abusing the wall But who cares what the night watchmen say The stage has been set for the play Hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today The moon's come and gone but a few stars hang on on to the sky The wind's runnin' free but it ain't up to me ask why The poets are demanding their pay They've left me with nothin' to say 'Cept hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today Just hold me and tell me that you'll be here to love me today Creepin' In There's a big ol' hole That's gone right through the sole Of this old shoe And the water on the ground Ain't got no place else it found So it's only got one thing left to do Creep on in Creep on in And once it has begun Won't stop until it's done Sneaking in There's a silver moon That came just a little soon For me to bare Shines brightly on my bed And the shadows overhead Won't let me sleep as long as they're there Creep on in Creep on in And once it has begun Won't stop until it's done Sneaking in There's a big ol' hole That goes right through my sole And that ain't nothin' new So long as you're around And got no place else you've found There's only one thing left to do Creep on in Creep on in And once you have begun Don't stop until you're done Sneaking in Toes The current is strong from what I've heard It'll wisk you down the stream But there never seems to be much time My toes just touched the water My toes just touched the water Daydreamed on the bank again I was swimming with the fish And I thought this time that it may be true (But) My toes just touched the water My toes just touched the water My toes just touched the water Walked a mile just to find the edge Some place low enough to step right in Now I'm here and I can't begin - to move Walked a mile just to find the edge Some place low enough to step right in Now I'm here and I can't begin - to move The spoiled sun up over there It always has to have its way And I know that the river's there to shelter me My toes just touched the water My toes just touched the water Humble me Went out on a limb Gone too far Broken down at the side of the road Stranded at the outskirts and sun's creepin' up Baby's in the backseat Still fast asleep Dreamin' of better days I don't want to call you but you're all I have to turn to What do you say When it's all gone away ? Baby I didn't mean to hurt you Truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart No matter how hard you resist it It never rains when you want it to You humble me Lord Humble me Lord I'm on my knees empty You humble me Lord You humble me Lord Please, please, please forgive me Baby Teresa got your eyes I see you all the time When she asks about her daddy I never know what to say Heard you kicked the bottle And helped to build the church You carry an honest wage Is it true you have somebody keeping you company ? What do you say When it's all gone away ? Baby I didn't mean to hurt you Truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart No matter how hard you resist it It never rains when I want it to You humble me Lord Humble me Lord I'm on my knees empty You humble me Lord You humble me Lord Please, please, please forgive me Above ground Underground I'm waiting Just below the crowded avenue Watchin' red lights fading out of view Oh the air feels heavy Everything just passes by And I think that I'm a little shy Meet me outside above ground I see you on your way I'll be with you someday, someday Drawing lines above my head But the fan keeps spinning over me Just my thoughts to keep me company Now I know I'm ready Pour the night into a glass Can I sip it slow and make it last? Meet me outside above ground I see you on your way I'll be with you someday, someday Meet me outside above ground I see you on your way I'll be with you someday, someday The long way home Well I stumbled in the darkness I'm lost and alone Though I said I'd go before us And show the way back home There a light up ahead I can't hold onto her arm Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home Money's just something you throw Off the back of a train Got a handful of lightening A hat full of rain And I know that I said I'd never do it again And I love you pretty baby but I always take the long way home I put food on the table And roof overhead But I'd trade it all tomorrow For The highway instead Watch your back if I should tell you Loves the only thing I've ever known One thing for sure pretty baby I always take the long way home You know I love you baby More than the whole wide world You are my woman I know you are my pearl Let's go out past the party lights We can finally be alone Come with me and we can take the long way home Come with me, together we can take the long way home Come with me, together we can take the long way home
The prettiest thing The prettiest thing I ever did see Was lightning from the top of a cloud Moving through the dark a million miles an hour With somewhere to be So why does it seem Like a picture Hanging up on someone else's wall Lately I just haven't been myself at all It's heavy on my mind I'm dreamin' again Like I've always been And way down low I know The prettiest thing I ever did see Was dusty as the handle on the door Rusty as a nail stuck in the old pine floor Looks like home to me I'm dreamin' again Like I've always been And way down low I'm thinkin' of the prettiest thing Don't miss You at all Don't Miss You At All As I sit and watch the snow fallin' down I don't miss you at all I hear children playin', laughin' so loud I don't think of your smile So if you never come to me You'll stay a distant memory Out my window, I see lights going dark Your dark eyes don't haunt me And then I wonder who I am Without the warm touch of your hand And then I wonder who I am Without the warm touch of your hand As I sit and watch the snow fallin' down I don't miss you at all I don't miss you at all I don't miss you at all

Breeland & Paul F. Buskirk) When the evening sun goes down You are gonna find me hanging 'round The nightlife ain't no good life But it's my life Many people just like me Dreaming of old used-to-be's The nightlife ain't no good life But it's my life Listen to the blues they're playing Listen to what the blues are saying Oh mine is just another scene From the world of broken dreams The nightlife ain't no good life But it's my life Listen to the blues they're playing Listen to what the blues are saying Mine is just another scene From the world of broken dreams The nightlife ain't no good life But it's my life Lou Reed (Lee Alexander, Richard Julian & Norah Jones) Two and one, two, three We were driving through West Texas The land of beef and pork Where they tend the hides of leather We wear back in New York In a pasture along a roadside Behind a brokedown shack On a dusky side of evening We saw a figure dressed in black And we don't mean to sound like we're tripping But we swear to God We saw Lou Reed cow tipping Cow tipping Hey Lou, is that you She said as we pulled to the shoulder He just said, "Go screw" And then he turned and tipped one over Under a spitshine Western sky The color of blue varnish Hey, it's like Fellini Actually I'm thinking more like Jim Jarmusch And we can't say how much we've been sipping But we swear to God We saw Lou Reed cow tipping Cow tipping I got cops on the cell I said I got a little story to tell Lou Reed is in the cow pen They said, "Oh no, not again" And we hope our perception isn't slipping But we swear to God We saw Lou Reed cow tipping Cow tipping Cow tipping Cow tipping Cow tipping You really think that was Lou Reed Cow tipping I'm sure it was, he was wearing black Levi's Cow tipping I thought he was a vegetarian Cow tipping He's just tipping them over, he wasn't eating them Cow tipping Cow tipping
Not too Late
Wish I Could We met in a place I used to go Now I just walk by it for show Can't bear to go in without you know Wish I could Wish I could But Annie is standing in the door With a look on her face I can't just ignore She tells me that her heart is sore And pulls me in She pulls me in She says "love in the time of war is not fair" "He was my man but they didn't care" "Sent him far away from here" "No goodbye" "No goodbye" I don't tell her that I once loved you too Or about all the things we used to do I kiss her hair and think of you Walking down The road you found We met in a place I used to go Now I only walk by it slow Can't bear to go in without you know Wish I could Wish I could Wish I could Wish I could Sinkin' Soon We're an oyster cracker on the stew And the honey in the tea We're the sugar cubes, one lump or two In the black coffee The golden crust on an apple pie That shines in the sun at noon We're a wheel of cheese high in the sky But we're gonna be sinkin' soon In a boat that's built of sticks and hay We drifted from the shore With a captain who's too proud to say That he dropped the oar Now a tiny hole has sprung a leak In this cheap pontoon Now the hull has started growing weak And we're gonna be sinkin' soon We're gonna be Sinkin' soon We're gonna be Sinkin' soon Everybody hold your breath 'cause We're gonna be sinkin' soon We're gonna be Sinkin' soon We're gonna be Sinkin' soon Everybody hold your breath 'cause Down and down we go Like the oyster cracker on the stew The honey in the tea The sugar cubes, one lump or two No thank you none for me We're the golden crust on an apple pie That shines in the sun at noon Like the wheel of cheese high in the sky Well... we're gonna be sinkin' soon The Sun Doesn't Like You The sun doesn't like you, you always get burned Stay in the shade and watch the world turn Better find a new place to lay on the ground Can't stay where you are or you're gonna be found And time won't pass you by And I won't tell you lies So tonight... we can build a fire In the open field past the razor wire Sneak by the dogs when they go to sleep Bring part of yourself that you'll let me keep 'cause time won't pass us by And I won't tell you lies Someday I will ask you why... but not now And time won't pass us by And you won't tell me lies Someday we all have to die... but not now Until The End You've got a famous last name But you're not to blame Baby I see you for who you are A one time apple queen And a one time tramp And an old time movie star You're a shell picker Of the pickiest kind But you always find the ones to keep And in or out of bed You keep you're head wide open 'cause ya don't only dream when you're asleep Like a child You remember But I forget All my dreams I used to think That someday I'd relax a little And be more like you Then I realized How silly that thought was Needed to stand in my own shoes And from over here I can see you cry Don't even try To pretend 'Cause he's hurt you So many times Baby don't go back again Like a child, you forget But I remember everything And every sting And through all the games We'll both stay the same As we've always been Through the fat and thin Until the end Until the end Not My Friend Help me breathe Help me believe You seem really glad that I am sad You are not my friend I cannot pretend that you are You made it sting Your voice is ringing Just like the boys who laughed at me in school You are not my friend I cannot pretend anymore You found a place No one should ever go I'll be ok 'Cause when I back away I'm gonna keep the handle of your gun in sight Thinking About You Yesterday I saw the sun shinin' And the leaves were fallin' down softly My cold hands needed a warm, warm touch And I was thinkin' about you Here I am lookin' for signs of leaving You hold my hand, but do you really need me I guess it's time for me to let you go And I've been thinkin' about you I've been thinkin' about you When you sail across the ocean waters And you reach the other side safely Could you smile a little smile for me 'cause I'll be thinkin' about you I'll be thinkin' about you I'll be thinkin' about you I'll be thinkin' about you Broken He's got a broken voice and a twisted smile Guess he's been that way for quite awhile Got blood on his shoes and mud on his brim Did he do it to himself or was it done to him People think he don't look well But all he needs from what I can tell Is someone to help wash away all the paint From his purple hands before it gets too late I saw him stand alone Under a broke street light So sincere Singing silent night But the trees were full And the grass was green It was the sweetest thing I had ever seen He may move slow But that don't mean he's going nowhere He may be moving slow But that don't mean he's going nowhere My Dear Country 'Twas Halloween and the ghosts were out And everywhere they'd go, they shout And though I covered my eyes I knew They'd go away But fear's the only thing I saw And three days later 'twas clear to all That nothing is as scary as election day But the day after is darker And darker and darker it goes Who knows, maybe the plans will change Who knows, maybe he's not deranged The news men know what they know, but they Know even less than what they say And I don't know who I can trust For they come what may 'Cause we believed in our candidate But even more it's the one we hate I needed someone I could shake On election day But the day after is darker And deeper and deeper we go Who knows, maybe it's all a dream Who knows if I'll wake up and scream I love the things that you've given me I cherish you my dear country But sometimes I don't understand The way we play I love the things that you've given me And most of all that I am free To have a song that I can sing On election day Wake Me Up Wake me up when it's over Wake me up when it's done When he's gone away and taken everything Wake me up Wake me up when the skies are clearing When the water is still 'Cause I will not watch the ships sail away so Please say you will If it were any other day This wouldn't get the best of me But today I'm not so strong So lay me down with a sad song And when it stops then you know I've been Gone too long But don't shake me awake Don't bend me or I will break Come find me somewhere between my dreams With the sun on my face I will still feel it later on But for now I'd rather be asleep Be My Somebody I'm too foggy today To know what you're sayin' Your lips are moving so fast And I just keep praying For them to slow down So I can make some sense Of the words that are pouring out Of your crooked spout Last night was a record to be broken It broke all over the kitchen floor Oh no don't you go I'm coming back with a rag To wipe away the haze from the days We've forgotten all about So be my somebody tonight Be the one who'll hold me tight Honey, please, please Cuz I've been so all alone And no one will pick up the phone So honey, please stay I held your head up, do you remember When you wanted to make a blanket outta me Oh I can't lie … I been keeping score And it's your turn to wring me out And lay me down to dry So be my somebody tonight Be the one who'll hold me tight Honey, please, please Cuz I've been so all alone And no one will pick up the phone So honey, please stay Honey, please stay Honey, please stay Little Room You and me and Me and you In my little room There's room enough for us to do The things we like to do Oops, I hit my elbow on the doorknob Its right there It's by the bed next to my head But I don't even care There's stars up on the wall And they all glow in the dark And we can hear the children playing Outside in the park There's bars on the window And if there were a fire We'd burn up for sure But that's just fine by me 'cause We would be together ever more In this little room In the big city we're so far From the people that we knew in My big ol' blue car But if we stick together Then I know we'll be ok 'cause when it gets too cold outside This room is where we'll stay Rosie's Lullaby She walked by the ocean And waited for a star To carry her away Feelin' so small At the bottom of the world Lookin' up to God She tries to take deep breaths To smell the salty sea As it moves over her feet The water pulls so strong And no-one is around And the moon is looking down Sayin' Rosie - come with me Close your eyes and dream The big ships are rollin' And lightin' up the night And she calls out But they just her pass by The waves are crashin' But not making a sound Just mouthing along Sayin' Rosie - come with me Close your eyes and dream Close your eyes and dream Close your eyes and dream Not Too Late Tell me how you've been Tell what you've seen Tell me that you'd like to see me too 'Cause my heart is full of no blood My cup is full of no love Couldn't take another sip even if I wanted But it's not too late Not too late for love My lungs are out of air Yours are holding smoke And it's been like that for so long I've seen people try to change And I know it isn't easy But nothin' worth the time ever is And it's not too late It's not too late for love For love For love For love

Attack of the rock people
I had a dream with you in it last evening Neon colored bright city mutated buildings Pink mushroom clouds You were standing in the center of town On a ?? rock A rock with blinking yellow eyes And behind the eyes were rock people Sorta like Rodin's Gates of hell And they were grinding, grinding, grinding stone And granite And their marble limbs slithered silently through veins But they weren't evil For the rock people liked having you stand over them That's why they slithered in freedom And I was off to one side playing an instrument that looked like a baby And then we were in a restaurant And we tried eating lobster But the waitress refused to serve us Because we were drinking and playing our baby way too loudly And then we were playing basketball with the waitress But purple flesh people on the sidelines kept screaming and foaming 'Cause they didn't like us dribbling our baby And then we were running, running, running, running And neither of us knew why we ran But we knew why the other ran and simultaneously Called out "Go! Go! Go! Keep it up! He can't hurt you anymore ! He can't hurt!" And then you woke up at Singapore But you called and said "Baby speaks with its hands" And I said "Fine, but I can't listen to hands" And then I awoke and I thought of you
The Best Part I see the moon in the sky I taste the soft in your eyes I'll ignore all your lies I'll chain as I go swing Breaking off and away In the scold of the cave Don't forget me I'll lay precious and mine Love is reality line Time always puts up a fight Don't forget me Lay your hand on my heart Like it was at the start That always was the best part That was the best part

The Fall
Chasing Pirates In your message you said You were going to bed But I'm not done with the night So I stayed up and read But your words in my head Got me mixed up so I turned out the light And I don't know how to slow it down My mind's racing from chasing pirates Now an ambulance screams While the silliest things Are flopping around in my brain And I try to not dream Up impossible schemes That swim around, wanna drown me insane And I don't know how to slow it down Oh my mind's racing from chasing pirates And I don't know how to slow it down Oh my mind's racing from chasing pirates My mind's racing from chasing pirates My mind's racing from chasing pirates Even Though Something about the way he touched me Was so slow The way he put his arms around me Even though I'm feeling lonely I'm feeling lonely Don't understand the words he said Made me do wrong But now there's nothing else in my head And though it's strong I wish he'd leave me alone I wish he'd leave me 'Cause I know Trouble will follow But I have to go I have to go 'Cause I know Trouble will follow But I have to go But I have to go It makes me think that I don't know me So unsure When I remember all the things he showed me And I want more I'm feeling lonely Oh I'm feeling lonely Light as a feather While the seasons will undo your soul Time forgives us and it takes control We separate our things to put us back together We're light as a feather Heavy as the weather If it was raining stones Put our hands together to applaud or pray It's like the show was over But we're too scared to walk away All for the better, worse for the wear We're light as a feather God, you, and I together Meanwhile inside me It was raining stones And you didn't know God bless your soul We're light as a feather Heavy as the weather We're light as feather God, you, and I together Young blood I'll pretend my heart's not on fire If you steal my true love's name Broke down subway in this city of spires Tape your picture over his in the frame We'll imagine we're sleeping revolvers Shotgun wedding in a strange SoHo Our chambers hold silvery collars Gun down werewolves wherever we go We gun down werewolves wherever we go Midnight phone calls in the back of a Mustang Creased white pages torn right from the spine Kissed my neck with a crooked, cracked fang You always hoped one day you'd be mine Threw our fathers on funeral pyres I'm not sure that we were playing a game Busted gasket in a field full of liars No one noticed we set five boroughs aflame No one noticed we set five boroughs aflame Young blood Young bone Old ghosts Go home Band of gold with a diamond implied You wrote letters that you never sent I made promises I'll always deny Now we'll never know what the other meant Watch is ticking like a heartbeat gone berserk Lost the chance to wind the key Roosters are nothing but clucking clockwork Our fears are only what we tell them to be Our fears are only what we tell them to be Drown the last of our matches Burn the rest of each other You were strongest when I ached for breath Through the thick of smoke we'll finally smother Young blood Young bone Old ghosts Go home I Wouldn't Need You If I touched myself The way you touched me If I could hold myself The way you held me Then I wouldn't need you No, I wouldn't need you No, I wouldn't need you To love me If I could replace The things you gave me If I could see my face Without the tragedy Then I wouldn't need you No, I wouldn't need you No, I wouldn't need you To love me But I do Some, come back Come back If you could see the way I act When I'm alone If you could hear my voice crack Over the phone Then you'd know I need you Oh you'd know I need you Oh you'd know I need you To love me Waiting Hush now, watch the stars fall Into a fire wall I am waiting here Waiting for you to come home Sinking embers glow Melting icy snow And I am waiting here Waiting for you to come home And I watch them burn When will I ever learn If I wait it doesn't mean you will return And I watch them burn When will I ever learn If I wait it doesn't mean you will return Now all the stars have gone Faded into cracks of dawn And I'm still here waiting Waiting for you to come home I am still here waiting Waiting for you to come home It's gonna be If all we talk about is money Nothing will be funny, honey And now that everyone's a critic It's makin' my mascara runny If we only talk about the "Heathers" Making it together is crazy If we don't get a new situation For our busted nation, we're lazy But it's gonna be It's gonna be Please make it be It's gonna be Now if a princess becomes human Don't stone her on a talk show, you'll ruin 'Cause there's a fine line between a skewer And a decent sense of humor Aim at the ones who've really hurt us They should be arrested for murders But then all the cameras were turned on Some skinny naked blonde eating burgers But it's gonna be It's gonna be It's gonna be It's gonna be It's gonna be It's gonna be Please make it be Let's make it be It's gonna be It's gonna be It's gonna be...

Dear john
( Ryan Adams Feat. Norah Jones / Jacksonville city nights LP 2005)
I got a house full of walls And utility bills And every monday the company calls I got a nice bed to sleep on And a chest of drawers where i keep those Jewels of yours 'Cause you are always mine to keep When you're gone Two silvers rings One's on my finger, and the other one's gone It went underground with you Oh, John Ten years passed And i ended up with a house full of cats Most of them went missing From the window you never Fixed and the door you never latched When you were on your way out like last time 'Cause you are always mine to keep When you're gone Two silvers rings One's on my finger, but the other one's gone It went underground with you Oh, John I knew what you were doing that summer When candy came around But i had too much hurt to bother you When we lost our first child And a little payment was overdue And i want you so bad 'Cause you are always mine to keep When you're gone Two silvers rings One's on my finger, and the other one's gone It went underground with you Oh John I miss you I miss you Oh John

Court And Spark ( Joni Mitchell Cover / Herbie Hancock Featuring Norah Jones ) Love came to my door With a sleeping roll And a madman's soul He thought for sure I'd seen him Dancing up a river in the dark Looking for a woman To court and spark He was playing on the sidewalk For passing change When something strange happened Glory train passed through him So he buried the coins he made In people's park And went looking for a woman To court and spark It seemed like he read my mind He saw me mistrusting him And still acting kind He saw how i worried sometimes I worry sometimes "All the guilty people," he said They've all seen the stain On their daily bread On their christian names I cleared myself I sacrificed my blues And you could complete me I'd complete you His eyes were the color of the sand And the sea And the more he talked to me The more he reached me But I couldn't let go of L.A City of the fallen angels
More than this
( Charlie Hunter Featuring Norah Jones / Roxy Music Cover )
I could feel at the time There was no way of knowing Fallen leaves in the night Who can say where they're blowing As free as the wind And hopefully learning Why the sea on the tide Has no way of turning More than this There is nothing Oh more than this You tell me one thing More than this You know there's nothing It was fun for a while There was no way of knowing Like a dream in the night Who can say where we're going No care in the world And maybe I'm learning Why the sea on the tide It has no way of turning More than this You know there is nothing Oh more than this You tell me one thing More than this There is nothing Nothing More than this You know there is nothing Much more than this You tell me one thing More than this There is nothing More than
Blue Bayou ( Norah Jones featuring M. Ward ) I feel so bad I got a worried mind I'm so lonesome all the time Since I left my baby behind On Blue Bayou Saving nickels saving dimes Working til the sun don't shine Looking forward to happier times On Blue Bayou I'm going back someday Come what may To Blue Bayou Where you sleep all day And the catfish play On Blue Bayou Where those fishing boats With their sails afloat If I could only see That familiar sunrise Through sleepy eyes How happy I'd be Maybe I'll go back there again Maybe I'll see some of my friends Maybe I'll be happy again On Blue Bayou Saving nickels saving dimes Working til the sun don't shine Looking forward to happier times On Blue Bayou I'm going back someday Come what may To Blue Bayou Where the folks are fine And the world is mine On Blue Bayou Oh that boy of mine By my side The silver moon And the evening tide Oh some sweet day Gonna take away This hurting inside Oh I'll never be blue My dreams come true On Blue Bayou

I Worship You I worship you and the things you do Still you're not satisfied I paid the cost, I've loved, I've lost But still I worship you When we first fell in love we were always side by side Never then did I think you'd go wrong Then you started going out with the wrong kind of crowd To my sorrow I've found that you've gone Well, I worship you and the things you do Still you're not satisfied I paid the cost, I've loved, I've lost But still I worship you Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin I go back to the home and I lie awake 'til dawn Still I can't get you out of my life And my friends next day say what a price I must pay Last night I saw someone with your wife Well, I worship you and the things you do Still you're not satisfied I paid the cost, I've loved, I've lost But still I worship you I paid the cost, I've loved, I've lost But still I worship you
Remember Me You told me once that you were mine alone forever And I was yours till the end of eternity But all those vows are broken now, and I will never Be the same except in memory Remember me when the candle lights are gleaming Remember me at the close of a long, long day It would be so sweet when all alone I'm dreaming Just to know you still remember me Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin A brighter face may take my place when we're apart, dear Another love with a heart more bold and free But in the end, fair-weather friends may break your heart, dear If they do, sweetheart, remember me Remember me when the candle lights are gleaming Remember me at the close of a long, long day It would be so sweet when all alone I'm dreaming Just to know you still remember me Oh, just to know you still remember me
Diesel Smoke, Dangerous Curves I'm driving this truck on a mountain road I got a hot rod rig and I'm flying low My eyes are filled with diesel smoke, hairpin turns ain't no joke Diesel smoke, dangerous curves I was out last night drinking beer with the guys Got an aching head and blood shot eyes I ended up with a pretty little dame, I didn't even know her name Diesel smoke, dangerous curves Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin If I'm gonna deliver this hot shot freight I gotta get going ‘cause I'm running late These mountain grades are mighty steep Gonna stay awake, can't get no sleep Diesel smoke, dangerous curves There's a cute little waitress at the bottom of the grades She's got the coffee already made I gotta keep my eyes upon the road I'm coming down the hill with a heavy load Diesel smoke, dangerous curves Well I must have closed my eyes for a while Cause here I am and I'm running wild I turn my brakes, strip my gears Gonna have to ride her down I fear Diesel smoke, dangerous curves I wish I'd left the women alone But it's too late I'm already gone I got myself into this fix All because I tried to mix Diesel smoke, dangerous curves Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

My Blue heaven ( Fats Domino Tribute ) When whippoorwills call and evening is night I hurry to my Blue Heaven Just a turn to the right, a little white light Will lead me to my Blue Heaven I'm always on the run and I hate copy past for god's sake You'll see a smiling face, a fireplace, a cozy room A little nest that nestles where the roses bloom Just Molly and me, and baby makes three We're happy in my blue heaven You'll see a smiling face, a fireplace, a cozy room A little nest that nestles where the roses bloom Just Molly and me, and baby makes three We're happy in my blue heaven
Peace
( Cover - Horace Silver / Where we live LP )
There's a place that I know, where the sycamores grow And daffodils have their fun Where the cares of the day seem to slowly fade away And the glow of the evening sun Peace, when the day is done I'm always on the run and I hate copy past for god's sake If I go there real late; let my mind meditate On everything to be done If I search deep inside; let my conscience be my guide Then the answers are sure to come Don't have to worry none When you find peace of mind, leave your worries behind Don't say that it can't be done With a new point of view, life's true meaning comes to you And the freedom you seek is won Peace is for everyone Peace is for everyone Peace is for everyone

A girl sitting near was heard to exclaim "If you put him off, it's a shame." Taking his hand, a collection she made The boy's way was paid on the train "I'm obliged to you miss for your kindness to me." "You're welcome," she said, never fear Each time the conductor would pass through the car The boy's words would ring in his ear "Please Mr. Conductor Don't put me off of this train The best friend I have in this world sir Is waiting for me in pain Expecting to die any moment sir And may not live through the day I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye Before God takes her away."

You drank your health to the ladies there And you slighted Barbara Allen" He turned his face unto the wall He turned his back upon her so long farewell to all my friends Be kind to Barbara Allen" She looked to the east, she looked to the west She saw his corpse a-comin' "Oh sit him down for me" she cried "That I may gaze upon him" The more she looked the more she grieved She bursted out to cryin' Sayin' "Pick me up and carry me home For I feel like I am dyin'" They buried Willie in the old churchyard And Barbara in the new one From Willie's grave there grew a rose From Barbara's a green briar They grew and grew to the old church wall And could not grow no higher And there they died in a true love-knot The rosebush and the briar Rockin' Alone (In An Old Rockin' Chair) Sitting alone in an old rocking chair I saw an old mother with silvery hair She seemed so neglected by those who should care Rocking alone in an old rocking chair Her hands were all callused and wrinkled and old A life of hard work was the story they told And I thought of angels as I saw her there Rocking alone in an old rocking chair Bless her old heart, do you think she'd complain Though life has been bitter she'd live it again And carry that cross that is more than her share Rocking alone in an old rocking chair It wouldn't take much just to gladden her heart Just some small remembrance on somebody's part A letter would brighten her empty life there Rocking alone in an old rocking chair I look at her and I think "What a shame" The ones who forgot her she loves just the same And I think of angels as I see her there Rocking alone in an old rocking chair I'm Here To Get My Baby Out Of Jail "I'm not in your town to stay" Said a lady old and gray To the warden of the penitentiary "I'm not in your town to stay And I'll soon be on my way I'm just here to get my baby out of jail Oh warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail" "I tried to raise my baby right I have prayed both day and night That he wouldn't follow footsteps of his dad I have searched both far and wide And I feared that he had died But at last I've found my baby here in jail Oh warden, at last I've found my baby here in jail" "It was just five years today When his daddy passed away He was found beneath the snow so cold and white T'was then I bowed to take his ring And his gold watch and his chain Then the county laid his daddy in the grave Yes warden, the county laid his daddy in the grave" "I will pawn you his watch I will pawn you his chain I will pawn you my diamond wedding ring I will wash all your clothes I will scrub all your floors If that will get my baby out of jail Yes warden, if that will get my baby out of jail" Then I heard the warden say to the lady old and gray "I'll go bring your darling baby to your side" Two iron gates swung wide apart She held her darling to her heart She kissed her baby boy and then she died But smiling, she kissed her baby boy and then she died "I'm not in your town to stay" said a lady old and gray "I'm just here to get my baby out of jail Yes warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail" Kentucky Kentucky You are the dearest land outside of Heaven to me Kentucky I miss your laurel and your redbud trees When I die, I want to rest upon a graceful mountain so high For that is Where God will look for me Kentucky I miss the old folks singing in the silvery moonlight Kentucky I miss the hound dogs chasin' coons I know that My mother, dad and sweetheart are waiting for me Kentucky I will be coming soon Kentucky Put My Little Shoes Away Mother dear come bathe my forehead For I'm growing very weak Mother let one drop of water Fall upon my burning cheek I'm going away to leave you mother darling And remember what I say Do this won't you please dear mother Put my little shoes away Santa Claus he brought them to me With a lot of other things I believe he brought an Angel With a pair of golden wings Tell my loving little playmates That I never more will play Give them all my toys but mother Put my little shoes away I'm going away to leave you mother darling And remember what I say Do this won't you please dear mother Put my little shoes away

Leaving London (Tom Paxton) There's a dark and rolling sea Between my love and me As I walk through this cold lonesome town As I wish for a better day I need a place to stay If it's just a floor to spread my blanket down Off and on I change my shirt Just to wash away the dirt And then it's over to American Express Not a letter do I find She didn't even send a line Though I know she has my forwarding address If I could beg, steal or borrow A ticket on some old ship or plane I'd leave old London tomorrow To fly to my own true love again Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin Last night at the Troubadour Was so full they barred the door I sang a song that she loved so well And it wouldn't take too long To make up another song About a lonesome and sad

The Razor Song A busted heart can carry the weight Of a man too dumb to settle down Cursing all the things that stole your silly wings Gotta keep your footsteps on the ground The city lights are hung up like the stars You'll hang your hat on anything that shines Turn your rings around Those old tricks drag you down To the bottom of the box you left behind The weight on you Set it down and let the roads do what they do The night will fall, just drive careful There's no heaven after all Bolled, tied down to the track Like a Monday morning quaterback It feels like shit to have to make a change But yoru razor's got more rust than blade So level up and leave it to the dawn Quit shaking hands with every ghost you see Let's call this night a day and turn yoru saw away From God and guts and dogeared recipes They'll wait on you While you shuffle down that broken avenue There's so much more than paradise you're saving yourself for Don't waste another good hair day on a funeral for these throwaways You'll get to where you're sitting just the same But your razor's fgot more rust than blade The weight on you Set it down and let the roads do what they do There's so much more than paradise you're saving yourself for Don't waste another good hair day on a funeral for these throwaways You'll get to where you're sitting just the same But your razor's fgot more rust

Watching all these fires burn I'm waiting, it's true I watch you fall I try to stop Waiting for the pain to drop I know I've got to let you go again Although I never wanted this to end I know it's time to let you go Find a place to calm your mind I'll take yours, and you take mine I'm begging you, please Conversations pleading Hearts are always beating I'm down on my knees I watch you fall I try to stop Waiting for the pain to drop I know I've got to let you go again Although I never wanted this to end I know it's time to let you go I watch you fall I try to stop Waiting for the pain to drop I know I've got to let you go again Although I never wanted this to end I know it's time to let you go Queen Of The Sea If I was the Queen of the Sea And came upon you suddenly Would love really set us both free It's so hard to receive what could finally be Two hearts can be beating in bloom Though not even in the same room And I was a lover it's true Though I feel like a fool I'm a lover of you I forgot myself Did you take the breath out of me I forgot to lose myself And now we're just tragic thieves playing make believe If you were the king of the gloom And found me stuck in my doom Would we turn away from the graves Of mistakes that we've made trying not to resume And go boom You forgot yourself And darkness explodes out of me I forgot to tell myself That love isn't too far to reach If your heart is set free If time wouldn't move so fast And life could last and last Would everyone stay in the game That they saved or complain Or escape on a train Oh, we forgot ourselves And lost what it means to believe We forgot to hold ourselves And you made a mess out of me But I'm finally free, oh Oh, you made a mess out of me But I'm finally free, oh Oh, you made a mess out of me But I'm finally free Visions Visions in my head of running from your bed And I don't believe I'll make it to mine I hear a hallelujah And I swear it's coming through you And I can't believe I knew the first time We met under the willow tree You stood in front of me Now I don't like surprises But the look in your eyes Is coming at me wise like a freight train And I'm afraid your rain is gonna fall And wash me away Visions in my head And everyone is dead And I don't believe I'll wake up this time It's time to say goodbye to your world It's time to say goodbye
Running From the first time I felt the click in my heart (I keep running, oh I keep running away) Try to sleep, but the aching tears me apart (I keep running, oh I keep running away) Oh am I wasting the day (I keep running, oh I keep running away) Oh does it hurt me to stay (I keep running, oh 'cause I don't wanna pay Stars shine, but start to fade in the light Love is blind, could be wrong or it could be right In a bind telling myself it's for you For you Running and running Running and running Running and running Hey, hey, hey, hey For you Running and running Running and running Running and running Hey, hey In the night the devil knocks on my door (I keep running, oh I keep running away) Another life and the same thing happened before (I keep running, oh I keep running away) Oh and he begs me to stay (I keep running, oh I keep running away) Oh will he take me away (I keep running, oh 'cause I don't wanna pay) Stars shine, but start to fade in the light Love is blind, could be wrong or it could be right In a bind telling myself it's for you For you Running and running Running and running Running and running Hey, hey, hey, hey For you Running and running Running and running Running and running Hey, hey, hey, hey For you Running and running Running and running Running and running Hey, hey

American Anthem ( The War OST - Gene Sheer ) All we've been given By those who came before The dream of a nation Where freedom would endure The work and prayers of centuries Have brought us to this day What shall be our legacy What will our children say Let them say of me I was one who believed In sharing the blessings I received Let me know in my heart When my days are through America, America I gave my best to you Each generation from the plains to distant shore With the gifts they were given Were determined to leave more Battles fought together Acts of conscience fought alone These are the seeds from which America has grown Let them say of me I was one who believed In sharing the blessings that I received Let me know in my heart When my days are through America, America I gave my best to you For those who think They have nothing to share Who fear in their hearts There is no hero there Know each quiet act of dignity Is that which fortifies The soul of a nation that never dies Let them say of me I was one who believed In sharing the blessings I received Let me know in my heart When my days are through America, America I gave my best to you America, I gave my best to you

Are you lonesome tonight
( Cover - Roy Turk/Lou Handman )
Are you lonesome tonight Do you miss me tonight Are you sorry we drifted apart Does your memory stray to a bright summer day When I kissed you and called you sweetheart Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there Is your heart filled with pain Shall I come back again Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there Is your heart filled with pain Shall I come back again Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight

Bessie Smith
( Cover - Danko/Robertson )
Bessie was more than a friend of mine We shared the good times and the bad Well many years has since passed me by I still recall the best thing I ever had Now I'm going down the road to see Bessie Oh see her soon I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith When I get there I wondering what she'll do Now all the crazy things I had to try Well I tried them all and then some But if you're lucky one day you will find out Where it is that you're really coming from Now I'm going down the road to see Bessie Oh see her soon I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith When I get there I wondering what she'll do Now in my day I've made some foolish moves But back then I didn't worry about a thing Now and again I still wonder to myself Was it the sweet love or the way that she could sing I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith When I get there I wondering what she'll do I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith When I get there I wondering what she'll do
Better Than Snow (Norah Jones & Laufey / Christmas With You EP) Sit by my fire I'll never leave you Look out the window Palm trees aglow Now as I sweat through My ugly sweater Christmas with you is Better than snow Drive to the ocean All through December It would be nice to Hide from the cold Then the sun warms me And I remember Christmas with you is Better than snow Christmas with you is Better than snow Watching the waves crash Down on the shore I never needed anything more Than you here beside me Jackfrost won't mind if we Stay in the heat of each other We'll build sand castles Instead of snowmen We'll bake some cookies Either way I'll take the warmest Day of the year 'cause Christmas with you is Better than snow Christmas with you is Better than snow
Black ( Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi Feat. Norah Jones ) We touched the walls of the city streets and Dead ends plain, sadly showed us our ways Of never asking why Cast down it was heaven sent and To the church, no intent to repent on my knees Just to cry Until you travel to that place you can't come back Where the last pain is gone and all that's left is black Grey nights he's coming to me and Some day they'll punish my deeds and they'll find All the crimes But then they ask when they gonna see them Then they gonna ask to feel the ghosts, the walls, the dreams Well I've got mine At last those coming came and they never looked back With blinding stars in their eyes but all they saw was black Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin Fooled them hoping to seem Like a slave of evil but the product of greed and It's not a mass so be honest with me We can't afford to ignore that I'm the disease Practical since we had to be and When they were old they came back to me and they tried Oh they tried And when you follow through and wind up on your back Looking up at those stars in the sky, those white clouds have turned it black
Black Hole Sun
(Live / Soundgarden Cover) In my eyes, indisposed In disguises no one knows Hides the face, lies the snake The sun in my disgrace Boiling heat, summer stench 'Neath the black the sky looks dead Call my name through the cream And I'll hear you scream again Black hole sun, won't you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun, won't you come Won't you come? Won't you come Stuttering, cold and damp Steal the warm wind tired friend Times are gone for honest men And sometimes far too long for snakes In my shoes, a walking sleep And my youth I pray to keep Heaven send Hell away No one sings like you anymore Black hole sun, won't you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun, won't you come Won't you come Black hole sun, won't you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun, won't you come Won't you come Black hole sun, black hole sun Won't you come Black hole sun, black hole sun Won't you come Black hole sun, black hole sun Won't you come Black hole sun, black hole sun Hang my head, drown my fear Till you all just disappear Black hole sun, won't you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun, won't you come Won't you come Black hole sun, won't you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun, won't you come Won't you come Black hole sun, black hole sun Won't you come Black hole sun, black hole sun Won't you come Black hole sun, black hole sun Won't you come Black hole sun, black hole sun Won't you come Black hole sun, black hole sun Won't you come Black hole sun, black hole sun Won't you come Won't you come

Change (Big Thief cover / Feat. Remi Wolf / Live at Spotify Singles, Los Angeles, 2024-01-31) Change Like the wind Like the water Like skin Change Like the sky Like the leaves Like a butterfly Would you live forever, never die While everything around passes Would you smile forever, never cry While everything you know passes Death Like a door To a place we've Never been before And death Like a space Like the deep sea A suitcase Would you stare forever at the sun Never watch the moon rising Would you walk forever in the the light To never learn the secret of the quiet night Still Like a stone Like a hill Like home Still What I find Is you're always on My mind, mind Could I feel happy for you When I hear you talk with her like we used to Could I set everything free When I watch you holding her the way you once held me Changes like the sky Like the leaves Like a butterfly And death like a door To a place we've Never been before Would you live forever, never die While everything around passes Would you smile forever, never cry While everything you know passes
Change Is Gonna Come ( "Wretches & Jabberers" OST ) Change is gonna come On my watch Yes it is My time to arrive in style With grace and poise on my side The noise subsides finally I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Your world is not my world My world, it is my only way To survive the ties that bind Shake it off All the dust and the wrong And the quiet It's long overdue So wait right here I need a little time To take all this in Your world is not my world My world, it is my only way To survive the ties that bind Your words are not my words My words, they are my only way To survive the ties that bind Change is gonna come On my watch Yes it is

Day is done
( Nick Drake Cover ) When the day is done Down to earth then sinks the sun Along with everything that was lost and won When the day is done When the day is done Hope so much your race will be all run Then you find you jumped the gun Have to go back where you began When the day is done When the night is cold Some get by but some get old Just to show life's not made of gold When the night is cold. When the bird has flown He got no-one to call your own He got no place to call your home When the bird has flown When the game's been fought You speed the ball across the court Lost much sooner than you would have thought Now the game's been fought When the party is through It seems so very sad for you Didn't do the things you meant to do Now there's no time to start anew Now the party's through When the day is done Down to earth then sinks the sun Along with everything that was lost and won When the day is done

( Sunrise EP )
I want to find out where the moon goes When it leaves the western sky And night dissolves again 'til morning Azure turns to gold Azure turns to gold I'm gonna sleep with one eye open I'm gonna keep the shades half drawn Nearly silent, dressed in shadows Lines and colors fall I'm gonna watch her through my window Just as I watched you before A smile knows, but just won't tell me I just watch her go I just watch her go Now I learned just where the moon goes When it leaves the western sky And night dissolves again 'til morning The moon is in your eyes The moon is in your eyes The moon is in your eyes The moon is in your eyes
No easy way down
Your toy balloon has sailed In the sky now, But now it must fall to the ground. Now your sad eyes reveal Just how badly you feel. There is no easy way down. The view from the cliffs Must have been exciting, And up to the peaks, You were bound. Now you're stranded alone And the past is unknown And there is no easy way down. And now it isn't very easy When you find yourself on your own. No it isn't very easy When each boat you take, Is one more mistake, There's no one to break, your fall, Lead you back home. We all like to climb To the hieights of love dear We're our fantasy world can be found But you must know in the end When it's time to decend That there is no easy way down. I know it isn't very easy, When you find yourself out on your own. No it isn't very easy When each road you take, Is one more mistake, There's no one to break, Your fall, And lead you back home We all like to climb To the heights of love dear, Where our fantasy world can be found But you must know in the end When it's time to decend That there is no easy way down. There is no easy way down.

Rita
( Rachel Loshak's Peach Pony LP - 2004 )

Lovely girl sit by me Take my love for all it may be I'm looking at everything, good and bad I'm thinking the best things are sometimes sad, Sometimes sad. Only the first time I'd seen her It won't be the last time I'll be here Rita, the fireflies and me. I was wondering how it could be To know you forever and for you to know me Leaves are stirring but the're still hanging on You are a beauty I hope you live long. Only the first time I'd seen her It won't be the last time I'll be here I'll pray for the nest time I'll see clear To Rita, the fireflies and me Rita, the fireflies and me Rita, the fireflies and me
Season's trees (Danger Mouse feat.

September in the rain
( Cover - Harry Warren/Al Dubin )

Seven Spanish Angels (Willie Nelson cover / Allison Russell & Norah Jones / Long Story Short: Willie Nelson 90 - Live At The Hollywood Bowl LP) He looked down into her brown eyes And said, "Say a prayer for me" She threw her arms around him Whispered "God will keep us free" They could hear the riders coming He said, "This is my last fight If they take me back to Texas They won't take me back alive" There were seven Spanish angels At the altar of the sun They were praying for the lovers In the valley of the gun When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared There was thunder from the throne And seven Spanish angels Took another angel home She reached down and picked the gun up That lay smoking in his hand She said, "Father, please, forgive me I can't make it without my man" She knew the gun was empty And she knew she couldn't win But her final prayer was answered When the rifles fired again There were seven Spanish angels At the altar of the sun They were praying for the lovers In the valley of the gun When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared There was thunder from the throne And seven Spanish angels Took another angel home There were seven Spanish angels At the altar of the sun They were praying for the lovers In the valley of the gun When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared There was thunder from the throne And seven Spanish angels Took another angel home There were seven Spanish angels At the altar of the sun They were praying for the lovers In the valley of the gun When, when, when the battle stopped and the smoke cleared There was thunder from the throne And seven Spanish angels Took another angel home Seven Spanish angels Took another angel home

Skylark (Johnny Mercer cover / Rufus Wainwright & Norah Jones / Live at Watermill, 2009) Skylark Have you anything to say to me Won't you tell me where my love can be Is there a meadow in the mist Where someone's waiting to be kissed Skylark Have you seen a valley green with spring Where my heart can go a-journeying Over the shadows and the rain To a blossom covered lane And in your lonely flight Haven't you heard the music in the night Wonderful music Faint as a will of the wisp Crazy as a loon Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon Skylark I don't know if you can find these things But my heart is riding on your wings So if you see them anywhere Won't you lead me there

Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most (Demo / originally by Ella Fitzgerald) Once I was a sentimental thing Threw my heart away each Spring But now a Spring romance hasn't got a chance Promised my first dance to Winter And all I've got to show's A splinter for my little fling Spring this year has got me feeling Like a horse that's never left the post I lie in my room staring up at the ceiling Spring can really hang you up the most Morning's kiss wakes trees and flowers And to them I'd like to drink a toast I walk in the park just to kill lonely hours Spring can really hang you up the most All winter long those birds they twitter twit I know the song, "This is love, this is it!" Heard it before and I know the score And I've decided that Spring is a bore Doctors once prescribed a tonic Sulphur and molasses was the dose That didn't help a bit, my condition must be chronic Spring can really hang you up the most I'm all alone, the party is over Old man Winter was a gracious host But when you keep praying for snow to hide the clover Spring can really hang you up the most

Stella ( Jim Campilongo - American Hips LP - 2003 ) Stella came on a midnight train Travelled through a drizzlin rain I paced for hours by the station door How I did pine as I waited for her A thumb on the bass A brush on the drum A bow on the fiddle We'll play all night long Play all night by the firelight Until the break on dawn Slow motion and the train stops short She's under his arms in her vinyl coat A dream came true when I tucked her 'neath mine I played her like a songbird divine A thumb on the bass A brush on the drum A bow on the fiddle We played all night long Played all night by the firelight Until the break of dawn That night I played for Stella I sang this song

Tell Me ( Wax Poetic feat. Norah Jones ) Will you tell me that you need me ? Am I free to not date you ? Will you tell me that you saw me ? Do I have to forgive too ? Can I go out by myself And be a lady on the path ? If I don't go, and I love you so, Can I not just let you down ? Can I be strong And still belong ? If I'm not wrong, I sing my own song As we travel through the ages, Will you just leave me alone ? Time will tell in different stages If I will or won't be home So, don't come near, friday morning And expect me to be free If you think that we fit together, Put your faith in destiny Can I be strong And still belong ? If I'm not wrong, I sing my own song Can I be strong And still belong ? If I'm not wrong, I sing my own song If you want to go ahead And lay back outside me If you want it too, Just tell me all the things You want to see Can I be strong And still belong If I'm not wrong I sing my own song Can I be strong And still belong If I'm not wrong, I will sing my own song

The Highest Tower (Cut Worms cover / Live at home) I've been patient too long My memory is dead All fears and all wrongs To the heavens have fled With a fierce buzzing rise While all my veins burst Oh come the filthy flies And their sickly thirst Oh may it come the time of love All the time we would be enamoured of I've waited for too long Lord, I've done nothing wrong Please, don't feel bad But be free So many days I've spent Many times I've tried To give a name to the thing that ails you Though I know I haven't the right All the reasons I've built up All advice that I gave Drifted on like so many floats In some senseless parade Oh may it come the time of love All the time we would be enamoured of I've waited for too long Lord, I've done nothing wrong Please, don't feel bad But be free All this misplaced affection It's like a charm or a spell Well, you know it makes you feel so fine While it lays waste to your health Everyone I see Everywhere that I go Well, you know, it's just how you feel It's not what you know Oh may it come the time of love All the time we would be enamoured of I've waited for too long Lord, I've done nothing wrong Please, don't feel bad But be free All the feeling that is gone All the sense that has left Taken leave and gone abroad Other worlds while you slept It wouldn't be much different It would be quite the same All the evil you can possibly dream of And no one to blame Oh may it come the time of love All the time we would be enamoured of I've waited for too long Lord, I've done nothing wrong So, please, don't feel bad But be free
The Story ( My Blueberry Nights OST ) I don't know how to begin Cause the story has been told before I will sing along I suppose I guess it's just how it goes And now those spring in the air I don't go down anywhere I guess it's just how it goes The story have all been told before If you don't try The light won't hit your eyes And the moon won't rise and fall in sight If you don't try The light won't hit your eyes And the moon won't rise and fall in sight I don't know how it'll end Though the records play I guess it's just how it goes The story have all been told before I guess it's just how it goes The story have all been told before I guess it's just how it goes
That's the way the world goes 'round ( John Prine live cover ) I know a guy That's got a lot to lose He's a pretty nice guy But he's kind of confused He's got muscles in his head That ain't never been used Thinks he own half of this town Starts drinking heavy Gets a big red nose Beats his old lady With a rubber hose Then he takes her out to dinner And buys her new clothes That's the way that the world goes 'round. That's the way that the world goes 'round You're up one day And the next you're down It's half an inch of water And you think you're gonna drown That's the way that the world goes 'round. I was sitting in the bathtub Counting my toes When the radiator broke Water all froze I got stuck in the ice Without my clothes Naked as the eyes of a clown I was crying ice cubes Hoping i'd croak When the sun come through the window The ice all broke I stood up and laughed Thought it was a joke That's the way that the world goes 'round
*** Thanx a lot to Cristian for this one ***
The Grass Is Blue ( Tribute to Dolly Parton - Just because I'm a Woman - 2003 ) I've had to think up a way to survive Since you said it's over Told me good-bye I just can't make it one day without you Unless I pretend that the opposite's true Rivers flow backwards Valleys are high Mountains are level Truth is a lie I'm perfectly fine And I don't miss you The sky is green And the grass is blue How much can a heart and a troubled mind take Where is that fine line before it all breaks Can one end their sorrow Just cross over it And into that realm of insanitive bliss There's snow in the tropics There's ice on the sun It's hot in the arctic And crying is fun And I'm happy now And I'm glad we're through And the sky is green And the grass is blue And the rivers flow backwards And my tears are dry Swans hate the water And eagles can't fly But I'm alright now Now that I'm over you And the sky is green And the grass is blue And I don't love you And the grass is blue
The Sun Won't Set ( Anoushka Shankar Feat. Norah Jones - 2013 ) The sun won't set Not now, not yet The sun won't set Not now, not yet Golden embers spinning round The day is almost done I wonder how it felt Beneath the early sun Each sunset keeps me still The tree has shed its leaves The wind, the evening chill Is hardest to receive I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake The sun won't set Not now, not yet The sun won't set Not now, not yet The sun below the trees Starting to get cold Holding on through change The day grows old I missed the morning heat Fall upon my face I wish I knew you then It's always sunset in this place The sun won't set Not now, not yet The sun won't set Not now, not yet The sun won't set Not now, not yet The sun won't set Not now, not yet

Unsaid ( Anoushka Shankar Feat. Norah Jones - 2013 ) "Love" wasn't left unsaid "thank you" wasn't left unsaid "I know you" maybe left unsaid I don't know what was said My heart, my heart speaks to you You heart know it has spoken true In body, blood and soul, I came I walked in love and not in shame Hearts can speak when lips can't There was more, I lost my chance I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Were there things I should have done It's too late, now that you're gone "Love" wasn't left unsaid "thank you" wasn't left unsaid "I see you" maybe left unsaid I don't know what was said My heart, my heart speaks to you You heart know it has spoken true Fortune smiled on me, oh my Got the chance to say goodbye In your eyes, it was love I read There wasn't much we left unsaid
Wait
Drivin' at night, you feel as if you're blind The sun is gone and it's stuck in your mind You look to the morning with expectation Anticipation When you feel the dark coming and you know that it's here You feel your spirit sing, you know there's nothing to fear I'm here by your side, i've got no where to go So take your time, drive slow, listen to radio Talk if you want, if you don't just change the station I got patience I tell myself wait Wait 'till the sun goes down Wait and you'll come around And you'll smile for everyone I'll make you a place A place where the shadows fall Can be anyone or no one at all Just tell me what you want I know sometimes you feeel the need to beware i know that you're scared that I care But I wonder who you're with when you turn out the lights Who do you think of at night When you feel the dark coming and you know that it's here I've been there before and you've got nothing to fear i'll make you a place where the shadows fall And you can be anyone or no one at all We'll take solace from the burning sun Let me be there for you just this once I tell myself wait Wait 'till the sun goes down Wait and you'll come around And smile for everyone I'll make you a place A place where the shadows fall Can be anyone or no one at all Just tell me what you want Tell me what you want
Walkin' My Baby Back Home (Ahlert Fred E, Turk Roy) Gee, it's great after bein' out late Walkin' my baby back home Arm in arm over meadow and farm Walkin' my baby back home We go along harmonizing a song Or I'm reciting a poem Owls go by and they give me the eye Walkin' my baby back home He's afraid of the dark so I have to park Outside of his door till light He says if I try to kiss him he'll cry I dry his tears all through the night Hand in hand to a barbecue stand Right from him doorway we roam Eats and then it's a pleasure again Walkin' my baby back home Gee, it's great after bein' out late Walkin' my baby back home Arm in arm over meadow and farm Walkin' my baby back home We go along harmonizing a song Or I'm reciting a poem Owls go by and they give me the eye Walkin' my baby back home He's afraid of the dark so I have to park Outside of his door till light He says if I try to kiss him he'll cry I dry his tears all through the night Hand in hand to a barbecue stand Right outside his doorway we roam Eats and then it's a pleasure again Walkin' my baby back home Walkin' my baby back home Walkin' my baby back home
What makes you

What makes you think you're so smart What makes you think that you're not part of this Long ago you were fooled into thinking You were removed from this life But if you feel The way That I feel Don't hide Don't conceal it from me

Will you still love me tomorrow
( Cover - Carole King / Touch Acoustra LP - 2003 )
Tonight you're mine completely You give your soul so sweetly Tonight the light of love is in your eyes But will you love me tomorrow Is this a lasting treasure Or just a moment's pleasure Can I believe the magic in your sights And will you love me tomorrow Tonight with words unspoken You say that i'm the only one But will my heart be broken When the night meets the morning sun I'd like to know if your love Is a love I can be sure of So tell me now and I won't ask again Will you still love me tomorrow Will you still love me tomorrow Will you still love me tomorrow
When Sunny Gets Blue (Johnny Mathis) When Sunny gets blue Her eyes get gray and cloudy Then the rain begins to fall Pitter patter, pitter patter Love is gone so what can matter No sweet lovin' man comes to call When Sunny gets blue She breathes a sigh of sadness Like the wind that stirs the trees Wind that sets the leaves to swayin' Like some violins are playin' Weird and haunting melodies People used to love To hear her laugh, see her smile That's how she got her name Since that sad affair She's lost her smile Changed her style Somehow she's not the same But memories will fade And pretty dreams will rise up Where her other dreams fell through Hurry, new love, hurry here To kiss away each lonely tear And hold her near When Sunny gets blue Hurry, new love, hurry here To kiss away each lonely tear And hold her near when Sunny gets blue
Why Can't He Be You ( Remembering Patsy Cline Tribute Album - 2003 ) He takes me to the places you and I used to go He tells me over and over that he loves me so He gives me love that I never got from you He loves me too, his love is true Why can't he be you He never fails to call and tell me I'm on his mind And I'm lucky to have such a guy; I hear it all the time And he does all the things that you would never do He loves me, too, his love is true Why can't he be you He's not the one who dominates my mind and soul And I should love him so, 'cause he loves me, I know But his kisses leave me cold He sends me flowers, calls on the hour, just to prove his love And my friends say when he's around, I'm all he speaks of And he does all the things that you would never do He loves me too, his love is true Why can't he be you
World of Trouble (The Hottest State OST) It starts off slow With a kiss of folly And you don't see it As more But after awhile When all the dogs See you Sneaking In the back door You don't believe When they tell you You don't believe Then A world of trouble Is all you see Nights When the phone rings And it's so easy To get up And go back again You don't stop You don't think To live without it Knowing That you'll never win You don't believe When they tell you You don't believe Then A world of trouble Is all you see This is the last time Or the beginning Whenever you say It's enough While each day Each month Rolls out behind you The lost time Is calling your bluff You don't believe When they tell you You don't believe Then A world of trouble Is all you see A world of trouble Is all you need
Wurlitzer Prize ( Waylon Jennings tribute album ) I don't wanna get over you I'm not here to forget you, I'm here to recall The things we used to say and do I don't want to get over you I don't want to get over you I haunt the same places we used to go Alone at a table for two I don't want to get over you I don't want to get over you They ought to give me the Wurlitzer prize For all the silver I led slide down the slot Playing those songs sung blue Help me remember you I don't want to get over you A fresh roll of quarters, same old song Missing you through and through I don't want to get over you I don't want to get over you I don't want to get over you I don't want to get over you
