 (by Zac Johnson)

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.

THE LITTLE WILLIES

Roly Poly

(Fred Rose)

Roly Poly
Eating corn and taters
Hungry every minute of the day

Roly Poly
Gnawing on a biscuit
As long as he can chew it, it's okay

He can eat an apple pie
And never even bat an eye
He likes anything from soup to hay

Roly Poly
Daddy's little fatty
Fatty's gonna be a man someday

Roly Poly
Scrambled eggs for breakfast
Bread and jelly twenty times a day

Roly Poly
He eats a hearty dinner
He needs lots of strength to sing and play

He's up at dawn to do the chores
And he runs both ways through all the stores
He works up an appetite that way

Roly Poly
Daddy's little fatty
Fatty's gonna be a man someday

I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive

(Fred Rose & Hank Williams)

Well, you're looking at a guy that's getting kinda mad
I had a lot of luck, but it's all been bad
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive

My fishing pole broke, the creek is full of sand
My woman run away with another man
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive

A distant uncle passed away
He left me quite a batch
And yes, I was living high until that fatal day
A lawyer proved I wasn't born, I was only hatched

Everything's agin me and it's got me down
If I jumped in the river I would probaly drown
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive

These shabby shoes I'm wearing long
They're full of holes and nails
Yes, brother, if I stepped on a worn out dime
I bet a nickel I could tell you if it was heads or tails

If it was raining gold I wouldn't stand a chance
I wouldn't have a pocket in my patched up pants
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive

A distant uncle passed away
He left me quite a batch
And yes, I was living high until that fatal day
A lawyer proved I wasn't born, I was only hatched

No, I ain't gonna worry, wrinkles in my brow
'Cause nothing's ever gonna turn out bright, alright
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive
I'll never get out of this world alive

Love me

(Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller)

Treat me like a fool
Treat me mean and cruel
But love me
Break my faithful heart
Tear it all apart
Oh, but love me

If you ever go
Darling, I'll be, oh
Oh, so lonely
I'll be sad and blue
Crying over you
Dear, only

I would beg and steal
(She would beg and steal)
Oh, just to feel
(Yes, just to feel)
Your heart
(I want your heart)
Beatin' so close to mine

Oh, if you ever go
Darling, I'll be, oh
Oh, so lonely
I'll be sad and blue
Crying over you
Dear, only

I would beg and steal
(She would beg and steal)
Oh, just to feel
(Yes, just to feel)
Your heart
(I want your heart)
Beatin' so close to mine

If you ever go
Darling, I'll be, oh
Oh, so lonely
Beggin' on my knees
All I ask is please
Please love me
Oh, yeah

It's Not You, It's Me

(Richard Julian & Ashley Monroe)

I just can't keep going along
Making believe nothing's wrong
It's wrong and it's always gonna be

Nothing you did in any way
Nothing you said or didn't say
It's not you, baby, it's me

So keep on being long and tall
Keep on talking with the same old drawl
Keep on, baby, don't you trip and fall over me

The petals of the daisy drop
You love me then, you love me not
You love me not, it's plain to see

Who keeps the fire burning bright
The one who's losing sleep at night
It ain't you, baby, it's me

So keep the rose you never brought
Keep that ring that you never bought
It's all my fault, it's all my fantasy

Oh but I can't give you no more of myself
'Cause I'm looking out for somebody else
It ain't you, baby, well, it's me

Oh but I can't give you no more of myself
'Cause I'm looking out for somebody else
It ain't you, baby, it's me

Best Of All Possible Worlds

(Kris Kristofferson)

I was running through the summer rain
Waiting for the evening train
To kill that old familiar pain
Weaving through my tangled brain
When I tipped my bottle back
Smacked into a cop I didn't see

That policeman said, "Mister Cool
If you ain't drunk, then you're a fool"
I said, "If that's against the law
Then tell me why I never saw
No man locked in this jail of yours
Who wasn't just as low down poor as me"

And that just was when someone turned out the lights
Yes and I wound up in jail to spend the night
And dream of all the wine and lonely girls
In this best of all possible worlds

Next morning I woke up feeling like my head was really gone
And like my thick old tongue was licking something sick and wrong
I said, "I'd sell my soul for something about as wet and cold as this old cell"

That kindly jailer looked at me, all eaten up with sympathy
Then poured himself another beer and came and whispered in my ear
If booze was just a dime, a bottle boy, you couldn't even buy the smell

I said, "I knew there was something I liked about this town"
Oh but it'll take more than that to bring me down
'Cause there's still a lot of wine and lonely girls
In this best of all possible worlds

Well, they finally came and told me they was a gonna set me free
And I'd be leaving town if I knew what was good for me
I said, "It's nice to learn that everybody's so concerned about my health"

But I won't be leaving no more quicker than I can
And I've enjoyed about as much of this as I can stand
And I don't need this town of yours no more than I never needed nothing else

'Cause there's still a lot of drinks that I ain't drunk
Yes and lots of pretty thoughts that I ain't thunk
Oh yeah there's still a lot of wine and lonely girls
In this best of all possible worlds
In this best of all possible worlds
In this best of all possible worlds

No Place To Fall

(Townes Van Zandt)

If I had no place to fall
And I needed to
Oh could I count on you
To lay me down

I'll never tell you no lies
I don't believe it's wise
You've got pretty eyes
Won't you spin me 'round

I ain't much of a lover, it's true
I'm here then I'm gone
And I'm forever blue
Oh but I'm sure wanting you

The sky's full of silver and gold
Trying to hide the sun
Oh but it can't be done
Least not for long

And if we help each other grow
While the light of day
Shines down our way
Oh then we can't go wrong

Oh but time, she's a fast old train
She's here then she's gone
And she won't come again
Won't you take my hand

If I had no place to fall
And I needed to
Oh could I count on you
To lay me down

Roll On

(Lee Alexander)

Like an old machine
Sputtering along
Wheels don't turn as fast as they used to
Sometimes you take a right
Find out that it's wrong
Don't know the difference in a way
It ain't for now and then
Always help me find my way again

Another restless day
Looking for a sign
Another wasted afternoon
Maybe even though
The thought is on my mind
Don't mean that I won't see it soon
It ain't if for now and then
Always help me find my way again

So won't you roll on, sweet baby, roll on
Roll on, sweet baby, roll on
Keep on rolling, sweet baby, roll on
Lead the way again

It ain't if for now and then
Always help me find my way again

Won't you roll on, sweet baby, roll on
Roll on, sweet baby, roll on
Keep on rolling, sweet baby, roll on
Lead the way again
Oh, lead the way again

I Gotta Get Drunk

(Willie Nelson)

I gotta get drunk, I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I'll start to spend my money calling everybody honey
And I'll wind up singing the blues
I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck
And, brother, I can name you a few
Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do

I gotta get drunk, I can't stay sober
There's a lot of good people in town
Said to see me holler, see me spend my dollar
And I wouldn't dream of letting them down
There's a lot of doctors who tell me
That I'd better start putting it down
But there's more old drunks than there are good doctors
So I guess I'd better have another round

I gotta get drunk, I can't stay sober
There's a lot of good people in town
Who said to see me holler, see me spend my dollar
And I wouldn't dream of letting them down
There's a lot of doctors who tell me
I'd better start putting it down
But there's more old drunks than there are good doctors
So I guess I'd better have another round

Hey, Jim!
? if I drink?
Thanks.

I gotta get drunk, I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I'll start to spend my money calling everybody honey
And I'll wind up singing the blues
I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck
And, brother, I can name you a few
Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do

Streets Of Baltimore

(Tompall Glaser & Harlan Howard)

Well, I sold the farm and took my woman
Where she wanted to be
We left our friends and all our kin back there in Tennessee

And I bought those one-way tickets
She had often begged me for
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore

Well, her heart was filled with gladness
When she saw those city lights
She said the prettiest place on Earth was Baltimore at night

Well, a man feels proud to give his woman
What she's longing for
And I kinda liked the streets of Baltimore

Well, I got myself a factory job
I ran an old machine
And I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene

Yes and every night when I came home
With every muscle sore
She'd drag me through the streets of Baltimore

Well, I tried my best to bring her back
To what she used to be
But I soon learned she loved those bright lights more than she loved me

So I'm going back on that same train
That brought me here before
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore

Easy As The Rain

(Richard Julian & Jim Campilongo)

Lost in the conversation
It was hard to say goodnight
Standing at the station
Tossing it all around
Easy as the rain came down

Both of us were used to losing
Guess we had some tales to tell
Suddenly they seemed amusing
Till it came
Easy as the rain came in

When the train pulled in
I knew right then
You weren't going anywhere
And when the train pulled out
There was no doubt
Left in our minds

That was many years ago, dear
Though they haven't all been kind
They take on a certain glow when I hear the sound
Rain falling on the ground
Easy as the rain came down

Lost in the conversation
It was hard to say goodnight
Standing at the station
Tossing it all around
Easy as the rain came down
Easy as the rain came down

Tennessee Stud

(Jimmy Driftwood)

One, two

Along about eighteen and twenty-five
I left Tennessee very much alive
And I never would have got through the Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been riding on the Tennessee stud

I had some trouble with my sweetheart's pa
One of her brothers was a bad outlaw
I sent her a letter by my Uncle Fud
And I rode away on the Tennessee stud

The Tennessee stud was long and lean
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud

We drifted on down into no man's land
We crossed that river called the Rio Grande
I raced my horse with the Spaniards fold
Till I got me a skin full of silver and gold

Me and a gambler, we couldn't agree
We got in a fight over Tennessee
We jerked our guns and he fell with a thud
And I got away on the Tennessee stud

The Tennessee stud was long and lean
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud

We loped on back across Arkansas
I whipped her brother and I whipped her pa
When I found that girl with the golden hair
She was riding on a Tennessee mare

There's a little baby on the cabin floor
Little horse colt playing 'round the door
I love that girl with golden hair
And the Tennessee stud loves the Tennessee mare

The Tennessee stud was long and lean
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud

Night Life

(Willie Nelson, Walter M. 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

Head in a vise

What good is a smile
When your head's in a vise
What good is a smile
When your head's in a vise

You can cry out loud
But you'll paying the ultimate prize

What good is a gun
When it's pointing back at you
What good is a gun
When it's pointing back at you

Yeah, you cry so loud
But there's nothing I let to do

What good is a smile
When your head's in a vise
When your head's in a vise
When your head's in a vise

Vampire Guy

I don't want you here anymore
Just get your shit out the door
Leave me alone

I'll be doing fine on my own
Won't even pick up the phone
Leave me alone

You just always got in my way
Don't really need you to stay
Leave me alone

If you fuck around with my friends
I'll tell them about your "Depends"
Leave them alone

Don't go hiding
Like a psycho
Underneath my bed

I don't want you sucking my blood
Don't get caught up in the flood
Of my soul

I don't need to sharpen your fangs
You're giving me stomach pangs
Leave me alone

I can feel you creepin around
You need to get out of town
Leave me alone

You should spend some time in the sun
Your face makes me wanna run
Leave me alone

Don't go hiding
Like a psycho
Underneath my bed

When you come around late at night
You're such a horrible sight
Leave me alone

Your dumpy smell is making me itch
Back of or I'll flip the switch
And you will burn

I will go and grab the garlic
It's gonna make you real sick
Leave me alone

This will be the last time that I
Date a vampire guy
Go to hell

Don't go hiding
Like a psycho
Underneath my bed

Don't go hiding
Like a psycho
Underneath my bed

Girl Gone Wild (GGW)

Don't touch me
Don't play me
Oh my little sister

Your breath is
Offensive
When you open your mouth

I'm not lonely
I just wanted a drink
You don't need to understand

You're dirty
Not sturdy
Don't you puke on my dress

Lay off me
I'm outta here
I don't want your number

I told you not to touch me
But I'll say it again
I guess you want to lose your eye
Yai! Yai! Yai! Yai!

'Cause I've got nails
You will bleed
Oh!

I told you
I'm surly
Now go pick up your eye
Now go clean up your mess
Now I'll take that drink
Thanks... money boy!

Sweet Adrenaline

You burned out at last
One hundred mile an hour test
Gotta give the wheel a rest
You're crashing again

Step aside
Let me drive
Step aside
Taking a ride

I waited in the night
Now the power must be mine
I feel sweet adrenaline
You're crashing again

Step aside
Let me drive
Step aside
Taking a ride

Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Crashing again

You burned out at last
One hundred mile an hour test
Gotta give the wheel a rest
Crashing again

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 an aqua 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

Fantasy Guy

King of my mind
Why don't you stay
Wait, I know why
Your wife's in the way

I guess I'll just have to make my mind strong
I know I'll just make you my fantasy guy

In my fantasy, you and me
We screw like bunny
Calling me honey
We have lots of money

And you know I'd like to be your only one-y (?)
But for now, I'll have to comply
Just use you as my fantasy guy

But your wife gets in the way
Even in my play
She drivin' me insane
Bringing me tea and cookies
I wanna take her shopping

In my fantasy, her and me
We become best friends
We all have dinner
And then a kiss goodnight
From you both

And she tells me of the love
She has for the milkman
And then she goes to him
And leaves me to dry your tears

And we beg her not to go
'Cause you love her so
Then you look at me and oh, oh-oh

You forget all about her
And then my fantasy is guilt-free
We screw like the bunny
Calling me honey
We spend lots of your money
And I know now I'm your only one-y
And in my psychotic high
You're no longer just my fantasy guy

Then I take my medicine
Reality sets in
You know I love you, baby
But the price is just too high

In my fantasy, you and me
We screw like the bunny
Calling me honey
We spend lots of your money

And you know I'd like to be your only one-y
But for now, I'll just have to comply
And use you as my fantasy guy

Oh, I have to comply
And just have you for my fantasy guy
You're my fantasy guy
I love you

I Like It Low

I'm moving softly
I know where to go
I'm down on my knees
I like it low

I'm under water
Holding the flow
Don't tell me what to do
'Cause I'm good down low

I gotta go
'Cause you're moving too slow

I'm feeling colder
Under the snow
And now I'm suffering
But I like it low

I want you out of here
'Cause I'm not your home
I've got no room to breathe
Even though I like it low
But you're moving too slow

I'm moving softly
I know where to go
I'm down on my knees
I like it low

I like it low
But you're moving too slow

Scary Lady

Scary lady
You try to save me
With your fearful cries
When you trespass on my property
I cannot stand by

Point your camera at my derriere
You should leave it there
Better keep your little terrier
On the front porch stairs

Out through your window
You shoot my picture
Try to arrest me
I don't care

Keep your daughter
Under lock and key
So she won't see me

Maybe I'll be hiding out in
Your crabby apple tree
Is your husband like your bodyguard
Is he crazy too

Are you lonely
Too much television
Not enough to do

Your paranoia
Will not protect you
You think the world will infect you

Crazy neighbor
Does your savior whisper
"What to do"

Crazy neighbor
Does your savior whisper
"What to do"

Crazy neighbor
Does your savior whisper
"What to do"

Crazy neighbor
Does your savior whisper
"What to do"

For the Good Times

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

Lovesick Blues

I got a feeling called the blues, oh Lord
Since my baby said goodbye
Lord I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and sigh, oh Lord
That last long day she said goodbye
Oh Lord, I thought I would die
She'll do me, she'll do you, she's got that kinda loving
Lord, I love to hear her when she calls me sweet daddy
Such a beautiful dream
I hate to think it's all over
I've lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to you, somehow
And I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
And I'm lonesome
I've got the lovesick blues
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful girl
That's what's the matter with me
I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful girl
She don't care about me
Lord, I've tried and I've tried to keep her satisfied
But she just couldn't stay
But now that she is leaving, this is all I can say

I got a feeling called the blues, oh Lord
Since my baby said goodbye
Lord I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and sigh, oh Lord
That last long day she said goodbye
Oh Lord, I thought I would die
She'll do me, she'll do you, she's got that kinda loving
Lord, I love to hear her when she calls me sweet daddy
Such a beautiful dream
I hate to think it's all over
I've lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to you, somehow
And I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
And I'm lonesome
I've got the lovesick blues
I'm lonesome
I got the lovesick blues

Fist City

You've been making your brags 'round town
That you've been loving my man
But the man I love when he picks up trash
He puts it in a garbage can
And that's what you look like to me
And what I feel is a pity
You'd better close your face and stay out of my way
If you don't wanna go to Fist City
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
If you don't wanna go to Fist City
You'd better detour 'round my town
Cause I'll grab you by the hair of the head
And I'll lift you off the ground

I'm not a saying my baby's a saint cause he ain't
And that he won't cat around with a kitty
I'm here to tell you gal to lay off my man
If you don't wanna go to Fist City

Come on and tell me what you told my friends
If you think you're brave enough
And I'll show you what a real woman is
Since you think you're hot stuff
You'll bite off more than you can chew
If you get too cute or witty
You better move your feet if you don't wanna eat
A meal that's called Fist City

If you don't wanna go to Fist City
You'd better detour 'round my town
Cause I'll grab you by the hair of the head
And I'll lift you off the ground

I'm not a saying my baby's a saint ‘cause he ain't
And that he won't cat around with a kitty
I'm here to tell you gal to lay off my man
If you don't wanna go to Fist City

I'm not a saying my baby's a saint ‘cause he ain't
And that he won't cat around with a kitty
I'm here to tell you gal to lay off my man
If you don't wanna go to Fist City
I'm here to tell you gal to lay off my man
If you don't wanna go to Fist City

Permanently Lonely

Don't be concerned for it's time I learned
Those who play with fire get burned
I'll be alright in a little while
You'll be permanently lonely

Don't be too quick to pity me
Don't salve my heart with sympathy
I'll be alright in a little while, in a little while
You'll be permanently lonely

The world looks on in wonder and pity at your kind
For it knows the future
Is not very pretty for your kind, for your kind
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Will always be running and wondering
What happened to hearts you've broken and left all alone
We'll be alright in a little while
You'll be permanently lonely
Running lonely

Foul Owl On The Prowl

There's a foul owl on the prowl tonight

Hey, little lark, get out of the dark
Foul owl on the prowl
Hey little jay, stay out of his way
Foul owl on the prowl
You just might be the quail he'll tail
Foul owl on the prowl
You just might be the swallow he'll follow
Foul owl on the prowl

If you hear him hoot, scoot
If you pass his tree, flee
If you catch his eye, fly
Don't wait to say goodbye
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
He's got a yen for a purty little hen
Foul owl on the prowl
He's hungry for a chick, so get home quick
Foul owl on the prowl

If you hear him hoot, scoot
If you pass his tree, flee
If you catch his eye, fly
Don't wait to say goodbye

He's got a yen for a purty little hen
Foul owl on the prowl
He's hungry for a chick, so get home quick
Foul owl on the prowl
Foul owl on the prowl
Foul owl on the prowl
Foul owl on the prowl
Foul owl on the prowl
Foul owl on the prowl

Wide Open Road

Well, you said you had enough
You said that you were leaving'
I said, "Shove off honey, baby, I ain't grieving
You can pack your bags and pull out this evening
There's a wide open road"

Come early this morning you were nowhere about it
So I searched the town but you done pulled out
I looked north, east and west and then a leading south
I saw a wide open road
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
There's a wide open road
Leading south from my abode
If you can stick around and keep your damper down
There's a wide open road

Well, the reason I was looking for you all over town
Was to tell you that your kitty cat was still around
And you left your diamond ring when you walked down
That wide open road

Well if you gonna stay away then honey gotta let me know
How to cook hot biscuits, how to roll the dough
Everything's gone crazy since I told you to go
Down that wide open road

There's a wide open road
And honey, I want you to know
You can look down south or you can head back home
And there's a wide open road
Oh, there's a wide open road
And honey, I want you to know
You can look down south or you can head back home
And there's a wide open road

For The Good Times

Don't look so sad, I know it's over
But life goes on, and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I'll get along, you will find another
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times

If You've Got The Money I've Got The Time

If you've got the money honey I've got the time
We'll go honky tonkin' and we'll have a time
We'll have more fun baby all way down the line
If you've got the money honey I've got the time

Ain't no need to tarry let's start out tonight
We'll have fun oh boy oh boy and we will do it right
Bring along your Cadillac leave my old wreck behind
If you've got the money honey I've got the time

Let's go honky tonkin' make every spot in town
We'll go to the park where it's dark we won't fool around
If you run short of money I'll run short of time
You got no more money honey I've got no more time
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
If you've got the money I've got the time
We'll go honky tonkin' and we'll have a time
Bring along your Cadillac leave my old wreck behind
If you've got the money honey I've got the time

Jolene

( Dolly Parton Cover )

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene

And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene

I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Please don't take him even though you can
Oh, please don't take him just because you can
Jolene

No Fools, No Fun

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 farewell

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

I'd leave old London tomorrow
To fly to my own true love again

Bull Rider

(Rodney Crowell)

Well first you gotta wanna get off bad enough
To wanna get on in the first place
And you better trust in your lady luck
Pray to God that she don't give up on you right now

Live fast, die young, bull rider, hey hey

Well the one hand hold is all you've got
To pit you and the bull against the clock and a course crowd
And just upon a spinnin' ton
Nothin' else you've ever done can pull this way
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
You're just outside the buckin' chute
Lose a spur, you lose yourself and you lose your seat
By now he's buckin' mean and dirty
Slingin' mud and cowboy boots and kickin' clowns

No fools, no fun, bull rider, hey hey

You gotta feel the way he's movin'
You gotta watch his head
And brace yourself for anything
That render you might dead
You know the art of hangin' loose is hangin' just as tight
Well it's something like a hurricane dancin' with a kite

Live fast, die young, bull rider, hey hey

Well the rodeo is more than rough
It's a fact of life and it's tough to cut and it's beaver hats

It's drinking beer and pulling trailers
Tight lemae on barrel racers and a horse bucking

No fools, no fun, bull rider, hey hey

Live fast, die young, bull rider, hey hey

Twilight

(Robbie Robertson)

Don't send me no distant salutation
Or silly souvenirs from far away
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
Twilight is the loneliest time of day

Over by the wild wood young lovers go
Sparks flashing in the night, true colors show
If I had my way I'd never get the urge to roam
But a young man serves his country and an old gan guards the home
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Don't put me in a frame upon the mantel
For memories turns dusty old and gray
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day

I could face the darkness or storms in the sky
But we all got certain trials burning up inside
You only hurt yourself, don't know what you're doing
Try to make it on your own, who you think you are fooling

Don't hand me nothing I can't hold
Nothing that I can't give away
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day

Sex Degrees of Separation

(Sasha Dobson)

I try to pretend I don't love you
Try to make light of it all
In a room full of people we know so well
Try to pretend they can't tell
But it's worth it for me just to love you
And welcome the lessons that come

Sex degrees of separation
It's just a matter of time
We'll screw our way to salvation
Until we find
You always saying goodbye, love
Holds the key
Into a space that we went once
Let love be
Let love be

But the way to his heart was to leave him
Let the dreams fly to the stars
Life has a way of reminding me each day
Dark and the light of the now
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Sex degrees of separation
It's just a matter of time
We'll start to see the big picture
Hearts living free
You always saying goodbye, love
Holds the key
Into a space that we went once
Let love be
Let love be
Let love be

Don't Know What It Means

(Norah Jones)

Hey you, get out of my shoes
Oh, you don’t know what it means to be
You don’t know what it means to be
You don’t know what it means to be me

Hey you, don’t tell me what to do
Oh, you don’t know what it means to be
You don’t know what it means to be
You don’t know what it means to be free

Hey you, get out of my head
Oh, you don’t know what it means to be
You don’t know what it means to be
You don’t what it means to be my friend

Hey you, get out of my bed
Oh, you don’t know what it means to be
You don’t know what it means to be
You don’t know what it means to be my man

Oh, you don’t know what it means to be
You don’t know what it means to be
You don’t know what it means to be me
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Oh, you don’t know what it means to be
You don’t know what it means to be
You don’t know what it means to be me

Down By The River

(Neil Young)

Be on my side, I'll be on your side, baby
There is no reason for you to hide
It's so hard for me staying here all alone
When you could be taking me for a ride

She could drag me over the rainbow
Take me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead, oh, shot her dead

You take my hand, I'll take your hand
Together we may get away
This much madness is too much sorrow
It's impossible to make it today
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
She could drag me over the rainbow
Take me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead, oh, shot her dead, shot her dead
Shot her dead

Tarnished Angel

(Roger Miller)

Your halo is the neon
Your heart a jukebox song
Your heaven is a honky-tonk
You love to do no wrong

I know you're not changin'
As a saint you gained no fame
My angel's kind of tarnished
I love just the same
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Tarnished angel
From a backstreet bar
Tarnished angel
I want you just as you are

Our worlds are strange and different
But love they say is blind
I'll try to live in your world
If you won't live in mine

Tarnished angel
From a backstreet bar
Tarnished angel
I want you just as you are

Our worlds are strange and different
But love they say is fucked
I'll try to live in your world
If you don't live in mine

Jesus, Etc.

(Jeff Tweedy)

Jesus, don't cry
You can rely on me, honey
You can combine anything you want

I'll be around
You were right about the stars
Each one is a setting sun

Tall buildings shake
Voices escape signing sad sad songs
Tuned to chords strung down your cheeks
Bitter melodies turning your orbit around
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Don't cry
You can rely on me, honey
You can come by any time you want

I'll be around
You were right about the stars
Each one is a setting sun

Tall buildings shake
Voices escape signing sad sad songs
Tuned to chords strung down your cheeks
Bitter melodies turning your orbit around

Voices cry
Skyscrapers are scraping together
Your voice is smoking
Last cigarettes are all you can get
Turning your orbit around

Our love
Our love
Our love is all we have

Our love
Our love is all of God's money
Everyone is a burning sun

Tall buildings shake
Voices escape signing sad sad songs
Tuned to chords strung down your cheeks
Bitter melodies turning your orbit around

Voices cry
Skyscrapers are scraping together
Your voice is smoking
Last cigarettes are all you can get
Turning your orbit around

Last cigarettes are all you can get
Turning your orbit around
Last cigarettes are all you can get
Turning your orbit around

Always

(Catherine Popper)

Moving kinda slow
Gone but I don't go
Somehow I'm still here
As I disappear

Say you talk
Say you walk

Maybe I'll come around
Leave without a sound
Know you follow me
Hate to set me free

Say you talk
Say you walk

Always gets me high
Always gets me home
Always makes me smile
When it gets me all alone

Why do I blame you
Just doing what you do
You make me sick, you make me sound
Feed me whiskey until I drown
When you get me lost I'm found
I miss you most when you're around
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Say you talk
Say you walk

Always gets me high
Always gets me home
Always makes me smile
When it gets me all alone

Always takes me out
Always sends me home
Always hear me out
When I'm always here alone

GTO

(Jeb Loy Nichols)

Well I've got a GTO
Sittin' here in my backyard
And oh Lord, don't you know
I've been workin' hard
And I'm gonna make it go
Soon we will be free
In my GTO
My sweetheart and me
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Well I've never seen the City
And it don't mean much to me
It's a long ways away from here
Away from here is where I wanna be

I've got a GTO
Sittin' here in my backyard
And oh Lord, don't you know
I've been workin' hard
And I'm gonna make it go
Soon we will be free
In my GTO
My sweetheart and me

Well I've never seen the City
And it don't mean much to me
It's a long ways away from here
And away from here is where I wanna be

I've got a GTO
Sittin' here in my backyard
And oh Lord, don't you know
I've been workin' hard
And I'm gonna make it go
Soon we will be free
In my GTO
My sweetheart and me
My sweetheart and me

Pines

(Catherine Popper)

Pines, tall and lean
Get picked off one by one
Shimmer in the streetlights
And shiver in the sun

Cold is so mean
But what do they know
They lean in the wind
And sleep in the snow

Bright of the spring
Was eased by the chill
The whisper of leaves
Was suddenly still

We counted the rings
And tied every hole
Sometimes only rest
Here sick in the soul

The boughs held the heart
Of the avenue till
We wrapped all our lives
Of trees that took ill

And stay here till spring
And sleep in the snow
And let our hearts ache
For things that won't grow

You'll Forget Me

(Sasha Dobson)

You forget me
I know, you will
We've had our fill for now

But let's be honest
And take some time
To ease our mind for now

Sun will rise and fall again
You go, we'll fade away

Don't be sorry
Just smile somehow
We did our best for now
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I'll be alone and free from you
And you'll be free from me
You'll be smarter and take her hand
And be her man for now

Cry, Cry, Cry

(Johnny Cash)

Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down
I think you only live to see the lights of town
I wasted my time when I would try, try, try
When the lights have lost their glow
You're gonna cry, cry, cry

Soon your sugar-mamas will all be gone
You'll wake up some cold day and find you're alone
You'll call for me but I'm gonna tell you: "Bye, bye, bye"
When I turn around and walk away, you'll cry, cry, cry

You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry alone
When everyone's forgotten and you're left on your own
You're gonna cry, cry, cry

I lie awake at night to wait 'til you come in
You stay a little while and then you're gone again
Every question that I ask, I get a lie, lie, lie
For every lie you tell, you're gonna cry, cry, cry
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
When your fickle love gets old, no one will care for you
You'll come back to me for a little love that's true
I'll tell you no and you gonna ask me why, why, why
When I remind you of all of this, you'll cry, cry, cry

You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry alone
When everyone's forgotten and you're left on your own
You're gonna cry, cry, cry

You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll want me there
It'll hurt you when you think of what a fool you've been
You're gonna cry, cry, cry
You're gonna cry, cry, cry

In a Shanty in Old Shanty Town

(Ira Schuster, Jack Little, Joe Young)

Oh, yeah
There's no intro
Ok

It's only a shanty
In old Shanty Town
The roof is so slanty
It touches the ground
But my tumbled down shack
By an old railroad track
Like a millionaire's mansion
Is calling me back

I'd give up a palace if I were a king
It's more than a palace, it's my everything
There's a queen waiting there with a silvery crown
In a shanty in old Shanty Town
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
She's not done yet!
Yeah mama Norah

It's only a shanty
In old Shanty Town
The roof is so slanty
It touches the ground
But my tumbled down shack
By an old railroad track
Like a millionaire's mansion
Is calling me back

I'd give up a palace if I were a king
It's more than a palace, it's my everything
There's a queen waiting there with a silvery crown
In a shanty in old Shanty Town

Sister

It's not Easy

Please stay on the line
And tell me what to do
If you break my heart
I'll do the same to you

Don't you know the tears
Are rolling down my face
It's not easy to be
It's not easy to be
It's not easy to make these mistakes

Maybe I'll be fine
I don't feel so weak
We can take our time
And walk away with ease

We won't cross the line
On climb on to that peak
I will run from you
And you can run from me
Split the circle in two
Until we're free
It's not what I want
And those what you need

Though I'm torn
Brain from heart
I can't forget
To be smart

Whether I
Build a wall
On see it through
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
I don't know

I will run from you
And you can run from me
Split the circle in two
Until we're free
It's not what you want
You know it's what I need

It's not easy to be
It's not easy to be
It's not easy to be
It's not easy to be

It's not easy to be
It's not easy to be
It's not easy to be
You and me

Nothing you can do

Was my intention
Something you can wrap your head around
I tried to make it crystal clear

Looming obsession
Take way I'm not granded anymore
In knowing what to do with you

Nothing you can say to me
Nothing you can do
Nothing that will make me
Come back home to you

Left your detention
Nothing I can do about it now
I wrote these words to see it through

Found my direction
Something I can keep above the ground
And never lose my way again

Nothing you can say to me
Nothing you can do
Nothing that will make me
Come back home to you

Lucky

You lost a glass
But it's ok
It was broken
Just mind the math
In the pieces

So good with words
But the numbers
They bite like burns
At your fingers

These days can rush away
Don't look down

It's already gone
It's already broken
You found me out
I got a lucky streak

The wind finds a way
To be still
Somehow

The alleyways
And the rooftops
Remain

Just whine a light
In the places
Where you wander

It's all right
For the real thing
To be wrong

Hold the night
To your bones like
A long sad song

It's already gone
It's already broken
You found me out
I got a lucky streak

It's already gone
It's already broken
You found me out
I got a lucky streak

You lost a glass
It's the numbers

You and Me

Don't lie to me
Fire inside
Cinders of pride

The taste of love
Dance to the beat
Tempo you keep

A broken heart
The current is strong
Drifting along

You and me
It's a dream

I walk the ways right from the start
For you
A triple haze you left your mark
On me
These summer days we'll see it through
I know you hold my hand and kiss my heart
You do

You take what's left
And you turn it around
Build from the ground
And seasons change
Dance to the dream
Fill in the space

You and me
It's a breeze
You and me
It's a dream

I walk the ways right from the start
For you
A triple haze you left your mark
On me
These summer days we'll see it through
I know you hold my hand and kiss my heart
You do

You don't Know

I'm always in my hand
It's the only place you are
Locked inside, my mind is wide
And there we've lived
A thousand lives, I just close my eyes
And there we'll stay
Entwined in love 'til we're old and gray

Behind my lids I watch you smile
Maybe we'll just talk awhile
Protected by walls, we'll rise and we'll fall
And we'll laugh together, as one in the sun
Then I pry them open and stare at the sky
And I cry, and I cry, and I cry

'Cause you don't know the things I'm dreamin' of
You don't know the things I'm rising above
You don't know the life I've come to love
You don't know, you don't know, you don't know

Time is running out
This life I'm living is one and done
So I look to the road that goes over the mountain
I look to the valley beyond that river
I look in my heart and I hope and I pray
For something to lead me the righteous way

'Cause you don't know the things I'm going through
You don't know the things I don't want to do
You don't know the lies I tell myself
You don't know, you don't know, you don't know

You don't know the things I'm dreamin' of
You don't know the things I'm rising above
You don't know the life I've come to love
You don't know, you don't know, you don't know

You don't know, you don't know, you don't know
You don't know, you don't know, you don't know

The Great Romancer

All that I got
All that I need
Candy cane love
Mistletoe dreams
It's always you
My heart the dancer
All I want for Christmas is an answer

Breaking my heart
Waiting for you
I've got that love
Never runs through
Story begins
The great romancer
All I want for Christmas is an answer

Try to believe
I got to try
Bed for my heart
Needles of pine
Just take my hand
The great romancer
All I want for Christmas is an answer

It might be wrong
But it feels so right
Walking with you
Towards the moonlight
Hand in hand
The great romancer
All I want for Christmas is an answer
Is an answer, is an answer, is an answer

It's a Wonderful Lie

(Paul Westerberg cover)

Get up from a dream
And I look for rain
Take an amphetamine
And a crushed rat's brain
How am I feelin'
Better I suppose

How am I lookin'
I don't want the truth
What am I doin'
I ain't in my youth
I'm past my prime
Or was that just a pose

It a wonderful lie
And I still get by on those

I've been accused of never opening up
You get too close
Then I keep my mouth shut
I'm gonna run to the wind
Where the big bad city blows

It a wonderful lie
And I still get by on those
It a wonderful lie
By on those

You can dress to the eights
You can dress to maim
It'll make you feel great
This fortune and fame
Wearing too much makeup
Not near enough clothes

It a wonderful lie
And I still get by on those
It a wonderful lie
And I still get by on those

So don't pin your hopes
Or pin your dreams
To misanthropes or guys like me
The truth is overrated
I suppose

It a wonderful lie
And I still get by on those
It a wonderful lie
And I still get by on those

It a wonderful lie
And I still get by on those
It a wonderful lie

Sister

Oh sister
I don't wanna know it's you
I don't wanna know it's true
You lost your way again

Sister
You forgot your head again
Break the rules instead
It's time to let you know

You can take my money
You can take my man
You can try to reach it if you think you can
You can shake it down but the truth remains
Nothing's gonna fill that empty heart

Sister
There's a right from wrong
Listen to my song
I can't let you go on

You can take my money
You can take my man
You can try to reach it if you think you can
You can shake it down but the truth remains
Nothing's gonna fill that empty heart

Sister
There's a right from wrong
Won't you listen to my song
I can't let you go on

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

Angel Dream

I dreamed you
I saw your face
Caught my lifeline
When drifting through space

I saw an angel
I saw my faith
I can only thank God it was not too late

Over mountains
I floated away
Across an ocean
I dreamed her name

I followed an angel
Down through the gates
I can only thank God it was not too late

Oh sing a little song
Loneliness
Sing one to make me smile
Another round for everyone
I'm here for a little while

Now I'm walking
This street on my own
But she's with me
Everywhere that I go
Yeah, I found an angel
I found my place
I can only thank God it was not too late
I can only thank God it was not too late
I can only thank God it was not too late

Same Old bullshit

What do you do when you got no money
What do you do when the car breaks down
You don't cry, you don't cry

Same old bullshit
Same old bullshit

No car no phone no money no home
No man no hand no food no screw
Same old bullshit

You got to mellow out
You got to mellow out

No car no phone no money no home

Same old bullshit

Find yourself another place
Build yourself a fire
Find yourself another place
Build yourself a fire

Same old bullshit
Same old bullshit

No car no phone no money no home
No man no hand no food no screw
Same old bullshit

You got to mellow out
You got to mellow out

Find yourself another place

Joey

(Concrete Blonde Cover)

Joey, baby
Don't get crazy
Detours, fences
I get defensive

I know you've heard it all before
So I don't say it anymore
I just stand by and let you
Fight your secret war

And though I used to wonder why
I used to cry till I was dry
Still sometimes I get a strange pain inside
Oh, Joey, if you're hurting so am I

Joey, honey
I've got some money
All is forgiven
Listen, listen

But if I seem to be confused
I didn't mean to be with you
And when you said I scared you
Well I guess you scared me too

But we got lucky once before
And I don't want to close the door
And if you're somewhere out there
Passed out on the floor

Oh Joey, I'm not angry anymore
And if I seem to be confused
I didn't mean to be with you
And when you said I scared you
Well I guess you scared me too
But if it's love you're looking for
Then I can give a little more
And if you're somewhere drunk and
Passed out on the floor

Oh Joey
I'm not angry anymore
Angry anymore, angry anymore

The Grass Is Blue

(Dolly Parton Cover)

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

Norah Jones is Playing Along

Muzzle of Bees

(Norah Jones & Jeff Tweedy)

There's a random painted highway
And a muzzle of bees
My sleeves have come unstitched
From climbing your tree

When dogs laugh some say they're barking
I don't think they're mean
Some people get so frightened
The fences in between

The sun gets passed from tree to tree
Silently then back to me
With the breeze blown through
Pushed up against the sea
Finally back to me

I'm assuming you got my message
On your machine
I'm assuming you love me
And you know what that means

The sun gets passed from sea to sea
Silently and back to me
With a breeze blown through
Pushed up above the leaves
With a breeze blowing through
My head upon your knee
Half of it's you and half is me
Half of it's you and half is me

Rollercoasters

(Norah Jones & Tarriona 'Tank' Bell)

I've always wondered why people rode the biggest rollercoasters
Why the feeling brought up some type of excitement they didn't receive on a regular day
Like when did feeling sick become equivalent to thrill or nausea been X pill
I've always wondered why people rode those really big rollercoasters
And I remember, I remember when I did

It's the butterflies
And the fireflies
Fighting in my stomach
(The light between their wings)
I'm scared to fly
I might come down
I think I'm ready now
(Line)

It's the twist and the curve
It's the up and the swerve
It's smiling so wide, I'm smiling
It's the feeling of my nerves on the front edge of the seat
Eyes are open
Tears are coming from the thrill of sight moving as fast as light
Laughing for no reason
Screaming for all the things I should not have said in that last fight
Those rollercoasters, those rollercoasters
Those rollercoasters are like meeting God with a kite in your left hand
String are still twisted around your forefinger
Your right is busy gripping the safety rail
There is this moment when you feel like you're in an incredible ocean of your own butterflies
This is the moment when you get free and you let your arms fly
I know I'm flying right now

It's the butterflies
And the fireflies
Fighting in my stomach
(The light between their wings)
I'm scared to fly
I might come down
I think I'm ready now
(Ready now)
Getting back in line

Fly, fly, fly, fly
Fly, fly, fly, fly

Fly, fly, fly, fly
Fly, fly, fly, fly

I wanna fly so (fly)
I wanna fly so high (fly, fly, fly)

Won't You Come And Sing With Me

(Hazel Dickens cover / Norah Jones & Chris Thile / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I feel the shadows now upon me
And the angels beckon to me
Before I go, dear sisters and brothers
Won't you come and sing for me

Sing those hymns we sang together
In that plain little church with the benches all worn
How dear to my heart, how precious the moments
We stood shaking hands and singing a song

My burden is heavy, my way has grown weary
I must travel a road that is long
And it would warm this old heart, my dear brother
If you come and sing me one song

Sing those hymns we sang together
In that plain little church with the benches all worn
How dear to my heart, how precious the moments
We stood shaking hands and singing a song

In my home beyond the dark river
Your sweet faces no more I will see
Until we meet where there's no more sad parting
Won't you come and sing for me

Sing those hymns we sang together
In that plain little church with the benches all worn
How dear to my heart, how precious the moments
We stood shaking hands and singing a song

Home Inside

(Norah Jones & Valerie June)

I know there is a place for me
Help me to grow that I may living see
A stream that flows
A well no end to find
That holds the key
And stills my chattering mind

I know there is a home inside
Window to soul
Where every dream abides
Each breath is gold
A pathway, light, a guide
Garden to grow, keep on the sunny side

Some call it prayer
Some say it should not cease
Some sit and breathe
Some fall on bended knees
I'd be a fool to let it have a name
Earth is a school
To shine is why you came

Some call it prayer
Some say it should not cease
I must agree
It's how I find my peace
I'd be a fool to let it have a name
Earth is a school
To shine is why you came

I know there is a place for me
Help me to grow that I may living see
A stream that flows
A well no end to find
That holds the key
That stills my chattering mind

Fade Away

(Norah Jones & Logic)

Logic :
Yo, this is a vibe
You can't hear this
Oh
Alright, let's just, I'll just do these raps
Hey, it's charging

Uh, I been there, I done that, done that, this rap shit, I run that
Motherfucker, this far from a comeback, if one of us fall, then we run back
Can't let that social worker just snatch up my king, gotta get my son back
'Cause when they comin' through, that system don't give a damn about you, you
Everybody gonna die, gonna go one day, maybe it'll happen on a Monday
Uh, driving to work and get hit by a Hyundai, fuck it, let it all go one day
I know, I'ma get it like this, living that life while they all reminisce
Never regrеtted, the second I said it, I feel likе I'm smarter, I read it on Reddit
You're fucking pathetic, my etiquette murder your predicate, bitch, I'm ahead of it, yeah
Yes, I'ma die but I don't wonder why in the hell I'ma ride in the dead of it, yeah
I know, know, life on Earth is so unpredictable
Okay-kay, hold up, let me say, yes, I'll fade away

Norah Jones :
oh, fade away
Fade away
Oh, fade away

Logic :
Yeah, uh, uh, okay, alright
Tell me what I wouldn't wanna give for a life like this, arm and a leg quite like this
Fuck around, wanna fight like this, take a hike like this
I might just, might just, I don't know
Make sure that's my intention
Want so much more than this third dimension
That's not to mention my true ascension is a bigger picture
No metaphor, I'm being real with you
But it will hit you like, "Goddamn"
Go ahead, follow all of them
Spaceship, I'm in another system
So futuristic, on another mission
Uh, on another mission
On another mission, this intuition
I got it and it's switchin' now, it's off the top
Off the top of that dome
And I'm going home and I'm doin' my thing
And I'm lovin' my boy, I'm lovin' my wife
I'm lovin' my life, I'm lovin' the things that I'm seein'
I'm tryna do me and bein' the best that I can
'Cause I'm the man in this world tryin' to do what I can
So bring it back, bring it back, we bring it back, bring it, bring it back

Norah Jones :
Oh, don't you fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Don't you fade away

Nature's Law

(Norah Jones & Brian Blade)

She holds the scales on her left hand side
Her mighty sword swings down from the right
She covers her eyes, so that she won't see
The trouble in the world won't let her be
The balance shifts and we lose control
Pull the trigger and the bombs explode

'Cause we want it all and we want it now
But nature's law gonna bring us down
So I turn away from the outside world
But I can't escape, no, what I must face

Counting one, two, three, four
Wait until the time has come
If I live another day, your will be done
Gotta shine your light, so the outside world can see
Everything I give to you comes back to me

Falling

(Norah Jones & Rodrigo Amarante)

I reach the top
I reach the top
The top of the trees
The top of the trees
I hear a sound
I hear a sound
The wind in the leaves
The wind in the leaves

But light turns into rain
I try to stay up high
It's calling, calling
I know it can be found
But I can hardly hold
I'm falling, falling

I'm laying low
I'm laying low
Beneath the vines
Beneath the vines
I hear a sound
I hear a sound
Of clouds going by
Of clouds going by

The sun is coming out
I turn away but still
It's calling, calling
I know it can be found
And I can only hope
I'm falling, falling

Four Leaf Clover

(Norah Jones & Sasha Dobson)

I found me a four leaf clover
It didn't change a thing
Still caught out with the storm passing over
And I'm hanging by a string

I know, I know, I know
One day
You will, you will, you will
See my way

But I won't have that conversation
There's nothing left to say
I don't need those expectations
I can't live that way

I don't, I don't, I don't
Wanna hurt you
But I will, I will, I will
If I have too

Set Me Down On A Cloud

(Norah Jones & Lukas Nelson)

I'm sitting in a room
I'm waiting for an answer
Hoping that the Lord sees fit to let me leave
If the news ain't good
You ain't coming back here
I'm gonna stay until my bones have turned to leaves

I'm waiting on a word
Hanging on a prayer
White walls like limbo
Keep my feet on the ground

If I lose my baby
I tell you where they can lay me
Set me down on a cloud
With my soul turned inside out

Well, they fixed me up good
But my heart's still bleeding
And there's only one thing in this world to let me heal
Baby, open up your eyes
And tell me you're not leaving
I'm gonna make you feel so good, it won't feel real

I'm waiting on a word
Hanging on a prayer
White walls like limbo
Keep my feet on the ground

If I lose my baby
I tell you where they can lay me
Set me down on a cloud
With my soul turned inside out

I'm waiting on a word
Hanging on a prayer
White walls like limbo
Keep my feet on the ground

If I lose my baby
I tell you where they can lay me
Set me down on a cloud
With my soul turned inside out
Set me down on a cloud
With my soul turned inside out
Set me down on a cloud
With my soul turned inside out

When You're Gone

(Norah Jones & Bedouine)

Walking circles 'round the room
Playing verses from the same old tunes
When you're gone
When you're gone

Dragged my finger around the rim
Drag around a phantom limb
When you're gone
When you're gone

Ain't it a shame
Always the same old game we play
I love you
You love how much I love you

Living like a fool in love
The more I do, the less it does
When you're gone
When you're gone

Ain't it a shame
Always the same old game we play
I love you
You love how much I love you

Ain't it a shame
Always the same old game we play
I love you
You love how much I love you
I love you
You love how much I love you
When you're gone
When you're gone
I love you
You love how much I love you

 

PLAYING ALONG PODCAST SEASON 1

1-800-273-8255

(Norah Jones & Logic / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I've been on the low
I've been taking my time
I feel like I'm out of my mind
It feel like my life ain't mine
Who can relate
I've been on the low
I've been taking my time
I feel like I'm out of my mind
It feel like my life ain't mine

I don't wanna be alive
I don't wanna be alive
I just wanna die today
I just wanna die

I don't wanna be alive
I don't wanna be alive
I just wanna die
And let me tell you why

All this other shit I'm talking 'bout, they think they know it
I've been praying for somebody to save me, no one's heroic
And my life don't even matter, I know it, I know it
I know I'm hurting deep down, but can't show it
I never had a place to call my own
I never had a home
Ain't nobody calling my phone
Where you been, where you at, what's on your mind
They say every life precious, but nobody care about mine

I've been on the low
I've been taking my time
I feel like I'm out of my mind
It feel like my life ain't mine
Who can relate
I've been on the low
I've been taking my time
I feel like I'm out of my mind
It feel like my life ain't mine

I want you to be alive
I want you to be alive
You don't gotta die today
You don't gotta die

I want you to be alive
I want you to be alive
You don't gotta die today
Now let me tell you why

It's the very first breath when your head's been drowning under water
And it's the lightness in the air when you're there chest-to-chest with a lover
It's holding on, though the road is long
Seeing light in the darkest things
And when you stare at your reflection
Finally knowing who it is
I know you'll thank God you did

I know where you been, where you are, where you going
I know you're the reason I believe in life
What's the day without a little night
I'm just trying to shed a little light
'Cause it can be hard, it can be so hard
But you gotta live right now
You got everything to give right now

And I've been on the low
I've been taking my time
I feel like I'm out of my mind
It feel like my life ain't mine
Who can relate
I've been on the low
I've been taking my time (time)
I feel like I'm out of my mind
I feel like my life ain't mine

I finally wanna be alive
I finally wanna be alive
I don't wanna die today
I don't wanna die

I finally wanna be alive
I finally wanna be alive
I don't wanna die today
I don't wanna die

Act Natural

(Norah Jones & Margaret Glasper / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I've rolled around this earth a few times over
But never have I ever seen something so absurd
Are you a paradise bird
'Cause violet shines bright in both your eyes
That can't be natural, yeah

Indigo flares up in your hair
That can't be natural
Oh am I seeing clearly
Can those marigold ears hear me
Fade to black, I don't know how to act
Just act natural

I've been a witness to forgiveness in the worst of weather
But never have I ever seen someone so free
Oh you're such a mystery to me
You even sparkle in the dark, oh I can't unseen it
Is this some kind of butterfly rebirth
Are you from this earth

'Cause violet shines bright in both your eyes
That can't be natural

Indigo flares up in your hair
That can't be natural
Oh am I seeing clearly
Can those marigold ears hear me
Fade to black, I don't know how to act
Just act natural

Do you see me, maybe I don't know
Do you think I'm crazy, probably so
I don't know what to say or do
And I know that we've just met
But I'm willing, willing to bet
That I'm falling in love with you

'Cause violet shines bright in both your eyes
That can't be natural

Indigo flares up in your hair
That can't be natural
Oh am I seeing clearly
Can those marigold ears hear me
Fade to black, I don't know how to act
Just act natural

Always Judging

(This Is 40 OST / Norah Jones & Chris Thile / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Always judging, always judging
Never loving, always judging
Always judging, never hugging
Who is winning, head is spinning

Always judge
The one you love
Too harshly
Now she's crying

Never loving, always judging

You don't pretend
That it's the end
You're bluffing
You're not dying

Never hugging, always judging

When you say
You don't need me
I do believe
You're lying

Who is winning, head is spinning

If you say
That it's the end
I'll thank you now
For trying

Always judging, always judging
Never loving, always judging
Always judging, never hugging
Who is winning, head is spinning

Always judging, never loving

Always judging, never loving

Always judging, always judging
Never loving, always judging
Always judging, never hugging
Who is winning, head is spinning

At The Centerline

(Norah Jones & Brian Blade / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Give me serenity
To accept the things I cannot change
The courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference
We won't be forsaken
'Cause mercy holds us when we fall

So leave the past behind us
Let the moment bring another chance
'Cause in my heart, I love you
And only love can make a way
While the war is raging
Can our peace be still

At the centerline
We will find our balance
A sister's heart and a brother's hand
At the centerline
We will meet the challenge
Tear it down and start again

At the centerline
We will find our balance
A sister's heart and a brother's hand
At the centerline
We will meet the challenge
Tear it down and start again

At the centerline
At the centerline
At the centerline
At the centerline

Bad Memory

(Norah Jones & Emily King / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

You give me a bad memory
Only shows the good times we had
Hides away all of the reasons
Loving you always makes me sad

You are too hard to forget
I'm drowning in regret
Oh darling, won't you let me free
Used to dream about the past
I'm running from it fast
Don't ask about my history
I can't let it be
I've got a bad, bad memory

You give me an ache in my heart
Everything reminds me of you
Used to have a kind recollection
Now everything, every memory just makes me blue

You are too hard to forget
I'm drowning in regret
Oh darling, won't you let me free
Used to dream about the past
I'm running from it fast
Don't ask about my history
I can't let it be
I've got a bad, bad memory

You are too hard to forget
I'm drowning in regret
Oh darling, won't you let me free
Used to dream about the past
I'm running from it fast
Don't ask about my history
I can't let it be
I've got a bad, bad memory
I can't let it be
I've got a bad, bad memory
I can't let it be
I've got a bad, bad memory

Betray My Heart

(D'Angelo cover / Norah Jones, Questlove & Christian McBride / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

As the day must have its sun
And the night must have its moon
Sure as both must rise and fall
I'll be there to see you through
Just as long as there is time
I will never leave your side

And if you should ever feel it
That my love is not sincere
I will never betray your heart
I will never betray your heart
I will never betray your heart

Like the breeze that blows in June
I will whisper to keep you cool
This I swear it with all it's true
I'll take nothing in place of you
When you're feeling down, down, down
You're my snow, you can't depend on me

You don't ever have to fear
That my love is not sincere
I will never betray my heart
I will never betray my heart
I will never betray my heart

Through the storm, through the rain
I'll come running to ease your pain
Like the rails that cross the trains
Like the blood in my veins
I will never betray your heart
I will never betray your heart
I will never betray your heart

Border Lord

(Kris Kristofferson cover / Norah Jones, Questlove & Christian McBride / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Darkness had us covered when we split from Minnesota
In the morning, in the rain
Black as I was feeling and the street was slick and shiny as a snake
Each of us was a-humming to a half forgotten echo
Hanging over in the brain
Tapping time and thinking of the time we never had the time to take

Losing to the rising cost of living high and loving hard
And leaving every yesterday behind
Learning every bridge you cross
Is burning down before you're off
And running like the devil just in time

Breaking many ties before they bind you
Taking any comfortny you can find
Running like you're running out of time
I take it all
Take it easy till it's over
Understanding
When you're heading for the border lord
You're bound to cross the line

Good looking women every time you stumble
Waiting there to catch you when you fall
Getting back to you enough
To let 'em keep you backing up
Till just before your back's against the wall

Breaking many ties before they bind you
Taking any comfort you can find
Running like you're running out of time
I take it all
Take it easy when it's over
Understanding
When you're heading for the border Lord
You're bound to cross the line

Breaking many ties before they bind you
Taking any comfort you can find
Running like you're running out of time
I take it all
Take it easy till it's over
Understanding
When you're heading for the border Lord
You're bound to cross the line

Breath

(Pere Ubu cover / Norah Jones & Cat Popper / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Dog day afternoon
By the sea
I think about you
What am I going to do
Sorrow's hanging over me

Let me walk with you
'Cause it's breaking my heart
The things that we had
The good and the bad
Now it's parking lots

Don't let's talk about tomorrow
Baby, we're standing at the edge of sorrow
It's like the whole world's going slow
It's like the whole world's going

I know my way round town
Used to live around here
I know the sites to see
Things they mean to me
How we tore it down

Let me walk with you
'Cause it's breaking my heart
The things that we had
The good and the bad
Now it's all parking lots

Don't let's talk about tomorrow
Baby, we're standing at the edge of sorrow
It's like the whole world's going slow
It's like the whole world's going

It was a dream
But it was a tin can
Not, not a dream
It was a tin can

Had I not kicked that
Had I not kicked that

Had I not kicked that
Had I not kicked that
It was a dream

(Had I not kicked that, had I not kicked that)
Don't let's talk about tomorrow
(It was a dream)
Baby, we're standing at the edge of sorrow
(Had I not kicked that, had I not kicked that)
It's like the whole world's going slow
It's like the whole world's going
(It was a dream)
Don't let's talk about tomorrow
(It was a dream)
We're at the edge of sorrow

Blue Skies

(Irving Berlin cover / Norah Jones & Seth MacFarlane / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Blue skies smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies, do I see
Bluebirds singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds all day long

Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things looking so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my, how they fly

Blue days, all of 'em gone
Nothing but blue skies from now on

Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my, how they fly

Blue days (blue days)
All of 'em gone (all of 'em gone)
Nothing but blue skies from now on

Oh blue skies smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies, do I see
Bluebirds singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds from now on

Blue skies smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies, do I see

Call Me A Fool

(Norah Jones & Valerie June / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Call me a fool
Call me a fool
A heart forlorn
A heart that's scorned
A new love born

Thought I had it under control, yeah
(Had it under control, yeah)
But it shook me, gripped me, grabbed my soul, yeah
(But it shook me, gripped me, grabbed my soul, yeah)
Heard it knocking, pounding on my door, yeah
(Heard it knocking, pounding on my door, yeah)
When I knew I had to let it go
Don't you know I wish that I could help it
(Don't you know I wish that I could help it)
Don't you know I wish that I could forget
(Don't you know I wish that I could forget)
But this new love is so strong that
(But this new love is so strong that)
It's a power keeps me holding on

You can call me a fool
You can call me a fool
For your love, baby
And I'll be a fool any time
And I'll be a fool any time
Any time for loving you

But I've been wishing things had been different
But I guess the cards, they fall the way they're meant
Win or lose or draw you play the hand you're sent
Beggar, borrower, given, taken, lent
But I've been drinking, staying drunk all day
Got me creeping, but it's not late at night
Got my life twisted, turned it upside down
Just a fool to hang around

You can call me a fool
Call me a fool
For your love, baby
And I'll be a fool any time
And I'll be a fool any time
Any time for loving you

So you can call me a fool
Call me a fool
For your love, baby
And I'll be a fool any time
And I'll be a fool any time
Any time for loving you

You can call me a fool
Call me a fool
For your love, baby
And I'll be a fool any time
And I'll be a fool any time
Any time for loving you

Thought I had it under control, yeah

Chinese Translation

(Norah Jones & M. Ward / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

One, two, three, hey

I sailed a wild, wild sea
Climbed up a tall, tall mountain
I met a old, old man
He sat beneath the sapling tree
He said, "Now, if you got some questions
Go and lay them at my feet
But my time here is brief
You're gonna have to pick just three"

So I said
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart
And how can a man like me remain in the light
And if life is really as short as they say
Then why is the night so long
And then the sun went down
And he sang for me this song

He said, "I once was a young man like you
Afraid to do the things
That I knew I had to do
So I played an escapade just like you"
Yeah, I played an escapade just like you

I sailed a wild, wild sea
Climbed up a tall, tall mountain
I met an old, old man
He sat beneath a sapling tree
And he said, "Now, if you got some questions
Go and lay them at my feet
But my time here is brief
You're gonna have to pick just three"

And I said
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart
And how can a man like me remain in the light
And if life is really as short as they say
Then why is the night so long
And then the sun went down
And he sang for me this song

Crying In The Rain

(Carole King cover / Norah Jones & Max Clarke a.k.a. Cut Worms / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

One, two, three, four

I'll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain

If I wait for cloudy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that I still love you so
Though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Raindrops falling from heaven
Could never wash away my misery
But since we're not together
I look for stormy weather
To hide the tears I hope you'll never see

Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool, but till then, darling
You'll never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Disco Man

(Norah Jones & Remi Wolf / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

He likes his cherries when they're maraschino
He likes his movies when they're Tarantino
He never stops, he's always ready to go
Gas station glasses on his way to Rio

And yeah, he get it, yeah he get it
We got drunk, I don't regret it

Said that he's a disco man
And he's got a lot of fiscal plans
And I told him he could kiss my hand
If you meet me at the disco, disco

And he's got a lot of fiscal plans
And I told him he could kiss my hand
If you meet me at the disco, disco

And he's never tongue tied, he's alright
He's always dressed in black tie with white guys, oh yeah
And he's naked in the sunshine to tan lines
And he's wasted all his money, but he's never been a waste of time

Said that he's a disco man
And he's got a lot of fiscal plans
And I told him he could kiss my hand
If you meet me at the disco, disco

Distance

(Norah Jones & Emily King / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Hey, love, time to get up
I think you've been sleeping too long
My day started when you were still yawning

One room just ain't enough
When it's two folks trying to get along
But it's hard to leave you alone

Oh love is always better
When we take time to get back to who we are
When we are apart
Distance makes the heart grow
Even when I'm lonely
Happy knowing that your love is never far
When we are apart
Distance makes the heart

It makes the leaves on the trees fall
Makes the hours in the day long
Makes me want to clear my head
Find a little cafe and write the words to a song

And I know that I'm still free
Be anywhere that I want to be
Maybe get dressed up
Wear something real pretty that you ain't never seen

Oh love is always better
When we take time to get back to who we are
When we are apart
Distance makes the heart grow
Even when I'm lonely
Happy knowing that your love is never far
When we are apart
Distance makes the heart
Heart, heart, heart
Heart, heart, heart
Heart, heart, heart
Heart, heart, heart

When you love, it makes so hard
When you trust, it makes that hard
When you call, it makes so hard
We're alone when we're apart

In the middle of a fight
Walk away to make it right
Where we go, we're never far
In the light or in the dark

On a plane, up in the stars
In a movie or at the bar
Home alone or out to tea
Look to your heart and think of me

I want to love you, don't want to try
To change the pace of your life
We get together, we make it good
We get together

Hey, love, time to get up
I think you've been sleeping too long
My day started when you were still yawning

Don't Know Why (Podcast Version)

(Norah Jones & Tarriona 'Tank' Ball / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Waited till I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
Left you by the house of fun (fun, yes)
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come

I wanna sit you underneath the belly of a rainbow
I wanna see if your skin tone matches God's crayons
So maybe I'll build a zillion-foot ladder
Just to see if you can outshine the stars
That New York tries to compete with
Or maybe I'll sit you in the middle of a New Orleans, June
Just so you can battle with its rays or, hey
Maybe I can place your heart in Africa
Just to see if you can compare to what home really feels like

I wanna take the brilliance of your character
And battle it against lions
Maybe you'll be David and I'll be Goliath
And if you get too close, I promise I'mma bite ya
I'll break your fall with the wind from my kite
Look at you as if you never told me to shut up twice
But I'll throw every fight like spoiled leftovers
Just never say again that you're not coming over
I need your shoulders like Bush needed them soldiers
So come, as a matter of fact, run to the nearest tree
Climb up like a coward or a comet
They all go up the same

Don't you ever love me in vain
For I'll know when you do
I'll travel through your bloodstreams
And I'll live in your veins
Let's steal Pluto, it's so damn small
Jesus won't even notice it's missing
And if he does, let's just blame it on the devil
Because he steals things

I think we're gonna have so much fun
If you let me tell you how I used to be your mother in Korea
Yes, I used to be Asian
I'm just saying you ain't never gonna be bored with me
Let's go fishing, which can just be like sinning
'Cause we killing the humans of the sea
I don't want you to pray for me
I want you to pray with me
I'll hold my hands like praying hands do
Say my name, but not too loud or your girl might hear
But I do not mind loving you in secret
I'm a great secret keeper
What would you like me to keep, your heart or your beeper
Either way, I won't tell your girl I have the number to either
I hide your secrets in my sneakers
You need to love me
You need to love me, Michael, and leave her
Preferably buy a railroad rope and no visa

Tell me I'm number one
Even if I'm number thirty-three
I like to be, you know, treated special
Every human being has needs
I may be a little selfish, but so are starfish
Why do you think they constantly sting the sea
I just wish that you were with me all the time
Just so I can go crazy when you're not around
You call me random, me
You call me random and I say
"This is the opera and you are the phantom"
You say, "Girl, you random"

I like fried chicken
And I hate salmon
He wants to get me cultured
I say, "Go screw the mailman"
Let's sail, man, on the water
Better yet, the lake, better yet
Pass down the steaks and let's go bake some cookies
And let's chase dreams that for once don't run
Let's make love and make fun of the sun, we must live
A wise woman once said we must shake the dust
Shake the dust
So shake the dust

Something has to make you run
I don't know why you did not come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don't know why you didn't come
I don't know why you didn't come
'Cause I don't know why you did not come

Down In The Willow Garden

(Traditional / The Everly Brothers version / Norah Jones & Rufus Wainwright / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Down in the willow garden
Where me and my love did meet
While we set a-courting
My love fell off to sleep

I had a bottle of Burgundy wine
My love, she did not know
So I poisoned that dear little girl
On the banks below

I drew a sabre through her
It was a bloody knife
I threw her in the river
Which was a dreadful sign

My father often told me
That money would set me free
If I would murder that dear little girl
Whose name was Rose Connolly

My father sits at his cabin door
Wiping his tear-dimmed eyes
For his only son soon shall walk
To yonder scaffold high

My race is run, beneath the sun
The scaffold now waits for me
For I did murder that dear little girl
Whose name was Rose Connelly

Drunken Angel

(Lucinda Williams cover / Norah Jones & Alynda Segarra / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

One, two, three and

Sun came up, it was another day
When the sun went down, you were blown away
Why'd you let go of your guitar
Why'd you ever let it go that far
Drunken angel

Could've held on to that long smooth neck
Let your hand, remember every fret
Fingers touching each shiny string
But you let go of everything
Drunken angel

Drunken angel
You're on the other side
Drunken angel
You're on the other side

Followers would cling to you
Hang around just to meet you
Some threw roses at your feet
And watched you pass out on the street
Drunken angel

Feed you and pay off all your debts
Kiss your brow, taste your sweat
Write about your soul, your guts
Criticize you and wish you luck
Drunken angel

Drunken angel
You're on the other side
Drunken angel
You're on the other side

Some kind of savior singing the blues
A derelict in your duct tape shoes
Your orphan clothes and your long dark hair
Looking like you didn't care
Drunken angel

Blood spilled out from the hole in your heart
Over the strings of your guitar
The worn down places in the wood
That once made you feel so good
Drunken angel

Drunken angel
You're on the other side
Drunken angel
You're on the other side

Sun came up, it was another day
And when the sun went down, you were blown away
Why'd you let go of your guitar
Why'd you ever let it go that far
Drunken angel
Drunken angel

Entirely Different Stars

(Norah Jones & Lukas Nelson / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Gonna take a ride, the good kinda ride
The wanna-get-lost-in-space kinda ride
The sun and the moon and the evening tide
Will disappear below

I got a guy, the good tour guide
The best in the galaxy, bonafide
He's gonna introduce me to alien life
I ain't ever coming home

Our little world don't mean a thing
Come on, baby, won't you ride with me on a spaceship
I'll buy us a nice little farm
A thousand light-years south of Mars
I'll give you loving underneath
Entirely different stars
Entirely different stars

I had a dream, the good kinda dream
The never-ever-wanna-wake-up kinda dream
My home planet or so it seemed
Was healthy and pristine

I woke up with my baby near
Looked around and I shed a tear
My home planet that I held dear
Was ruled by greed and fear

But our little world don't mean a thing
Come on, baby, won't you ride with me on a spaceship
I'll buy us a nice little farm
A thousand light-years south of Mars
I'll give you loving underneath
Entirely different stars
Entirely different stars

Goodbye, world of war
Hello, white star
Goodbye, dying dreams
Hello, guitar

False Start

(Norah Jones & Emily King / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I get lost and, when I do, I run on back to you
Tell myself another truth, then fall back, what's the use
But leaves don't ever know which way they'll fall
And I've been sitting, waiting for the call

I get lost and, when I do, I run on back to you
Play myself another tune, then fall back, what's the use
But endings never tell you where to start
Or just how many times they fall apart
And I've been sitting, wondering where you are

It's a false start
Almost had my chance
New heart
Started making plans
Couldn't take the pain
Had to walk away
Back the way I came

False start
Couldn't let it go
New heart
Was the last to know
Couldn't take the pain
Had to walk away
Back the way I came

And endings never tell you where to start
Or just how many times they fall apart
And I've been sitting, wondering where you are

It's a false start
Almost had my chance
New heart
Started making plans
Couldn't take the pain
Had to walk away
Back the way I came

False start
Couldn't let it go
New heart
Was the last to know
Couldn't take the pain
Had to walk away
Back the way I came

Find Yourself

(Norah Jones & Lukas Nelson / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Well, I don't mind sleeping alone
If it means I don't have to play your crazy game no more
You're the most precious thing I've ever seen
But I ain't gonna let it slide when you're mean to me
I know the love that I deserve

Said I hope you find yourself
Before I find somebody else to be my lover
I hope you find yourself
Before I find somebody else to be my lover

You tell me things I wanna hear
You want me near and I know you feel me leaving you
And you think that I won't say goodbye
But, baby, I ain't standing by while you stretch the truth
I know the love that I deserve

Said I hope you find yourself
Before I find somebody else to be my lover
I hope you find yourself
Before I find somebody else to be my lover
I know the love that I deserve

I know the love that I deserve
I know the love that I deserve
I know the love that I deserve

Fine And Mellow

(Billie Holiday cover / Norah Jones, Questlove & Christian McBride / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

My man don't love me
Treats me oh so mean
I said my man, he don't love me
He treats me oh so mean
He's the lowest man
That I have ever seen

He wears high trimmed pants
And his stripes are really yellow
He wears high gray pants
His stripes are really yellow
When he starts in to love me
He's so fine and mellow

Love will make you drink and gamble
And make you stay out all night long
Love will make you drink and gamble
And make you stay out all night long
Love will make you do all the things
That you know is wrong

But if you treat me right, baby
I'll stay home everyday
If you treat me right, baby
I'll stay home everyday
But you're so mean to me, baby
You know you're gonna drive me away

Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and it turns on
Oh love is just like the faucet
It turns off and it turns on
Sometimes when you think it's on, baby
It's turned off and gone

Friend Goals

(Tank And The Bangas / Norah Jones & Tarriona 'Tank' Ball / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Oh yeah
Yeah, yeah

Everybody wants somebody they can kick it with
After school, hanging for the weekend
Down for the cause to the bitter end
Trust me, everybody need a good friend
I've got friend goals
I've got, I've got friend goals

Hey, loner, all alone in the corner
Peanut butter, sandwich crust, cut off perfect at corners
Shall I offer my perspective for future sons and daughters
On the subject of friendship, how to stay away from monsters
Maybe I should start a club where folk in need of love can stop by
For conversations, hugs, advice on how to get by
So when you're low on human glow, just know that I'll be nearby
In case you didn't know, this for those, no need to reply

After school hanging where the wind can
Down for the cause to the bitter end
Trust me, everybody need a good friend
I've got friend goals
I've got, I've got friend goals

We grew up with so many people around
But you're the only one who ever held me down (I held you down)
Let me use your Netflix channel and sleep on your couch
If I could write you a song, you're probably hearing it now
When I was running into something, running from myself to nothing
When I needed something else, you were there and never left
All those times we got together, we were better than our past
'Cause who we were (I was) before was never made to last, 'cause

Everybody wants somebody they can kick it with
After school, hanging for the weekend
Down for the cause to the bitter end
Trust me, everybody need a good friend
I've got friend goals
How many of us got
I've got, I've got friend goals
(I'm gonna break it down)
How many of us got 'em

On the schoolyard, playing jacks
All alone, eating Apple Jacks
Knick-knack and paddy whack
Nick is mean and Patty's whack
Guess I'm on the jungle gym
Missing out with no friends
School is in, no friends
After school, no friends

Me, myself and I, I think I should start a new trend
A club where all the loners go to pretend that we are friends
After that, we walking home and contemplate how life is
Lonely as a mug, got me looking at my pa
What happened to Max, he was super whack
I laid back on Prozac, never liked me as I was
But I couldn't change facts, but Lisa, she's a sleeper
She's sleeping on her gold, sleeping on ambition
Sleeping on her future, shall I go on with Mike

But what about Mike, well, he was all right
But it was never quite right, you know
Friendships happen instantly or age like a fine wine
Spontaneous cosmic energy, damn, you're so picky
You might just find that good friends is tricky

I need the type to stick with me
Light a fire, come sit with me
I know I get needy, I get clingy, I get singy
I like to sing the chingy
So loud the neighbors could hear me
You feel me

You get bored easily
I got a ADD thing
I can't sit straight
My focus kinda swing
I'll forget something you just said to me a word
I'm also loyal, I'm sweet, I'm considerate and humble
We're down to earth, I got morals

I'm chill, you can smoke, I won't judge
We can argue, no grudge
I hold on tight, it's all love
I wrote a song about friends
You wrote a song about friends
I wrote a song about friends
About you, about us, friends
You gotta do that, friends

How many of us got 'em friends...

Fruits Of My Labor

(Lucinda Williams cover / Norah Jones & Margaret Glasper / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Baby, see how I've been living
Velvet curtains on the windows to
Keep the bright and unforgiving
Light from shining through
Baby, I remember all the things we did
When we slept together
In the blue behind your eyelids
Baby, sweet baby

Traced your scent through the gloom
Till I found these purple flowers
I was spent, I was soon
Smelling you for hours
Lavender, lotus blossoms, too
Water the dirt, flowers last for you
Baby, sweet baby

Tangerines and persimmons
And sugarcane
Grapes and honeydew melon
Enough fit for a king
Lemon trees, they don't make a sound
Till branches bend and fruit falls to the ground
Baby, sweet baby

Come to my world and witness
The way things have changed
'Cause I finally did it, baby
I got out of La Grange
Got in my Mercury and drove out west
Pedal to the metal and my luck to the test
Baby, sweet baby

I've been trying to enjoy
All the fruits of my labor
I've been crying for you, boy
But truth is my savior
Baby, sweet baby, if it's all the same
Take the glory any day over the fame
Baby, sweet baby

I've been trying to enjoy
All the fruits of my labor
I've been crying for you, boy
But truth is my savior
Baby, sweet baby, if it's all the same
Take the glory any day over the fame
Baby, sweet baby

Georgia

(Norah Jones & Emily King / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I was not ready
The day you gave me your heart
I was still falling apart

But since that moment
I can't stop hearing your name
Wondering about you always

Come back, Georgia, come back
Come back, Georgia, come back
I just need another chance
Chance to make it better

Come back, Georgia, come back
Come back, Georgia, come back
I just need another chance
Chance to make it better

I was unhappy
The day you left out my door
I was just feeling unsure

So long I've missed you
Now I can honestly say
I'm ready to love you always

Come back, Georgia, come back
Come back, Georgia, come back
I just need another chance
Chance to make it better

Come back, Georgia, come back
Come back, Georgia, come back
I just need another chance
Chance to make it better

Oh to think that you would be
Resting in my arms
How I wish I knew
Georgia, where you are
I can't be without you
Georgia

Come back, Georgia, come back
Come back, Georgia, come back
I just need another chance
(I just need another chance)
Chance to make it better

Come back, Georgia, come back
I won't let you go away
(Come back, Georgia, come back)
I just need another chance
Chance to make it better

Come back, Georgia, come back
Come back, Georgia, come back
I just need another chance
Chance to make it better

Come back, Georgia, come back
Come back, Georgia, come back
I just need another chance
Chance to make it better

Get Back

(Norah Jones & Margaret Glaspy / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Once I had it all or did it all have me
When you're dripping in your privilege
You don't know the difference
Between what you want and what you need

When nothing is enough
It gets tough just to smile
When every crack is a canyon
Every inch feels like a mile

Get back to the place you started from
Get back to childhood
Get back to what's good

Once I thought I was the only
Oh I was so lonely
When you're only thinking of yourself
You're missing out on everybody else

Get back to the place you startеd from
Get back to childhood
Get back to what's good

In the middlе of the night I was on my own
Till I realized that my house was not a home
Just a pile of sticks and stones
Oh and you told me to, you told me to get back
Oh to the place I started from

Giving You Away

(Norah Jones & Lukas Nelson / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

One, two, three, four

Woke up this morning and I knew it was time
So many years we've spent between us
You've grown so much and it feels like a crime
That I don't get to keep you here 'til the end of time
And I left my fear on the wayside
And I'm happy for the love you chose to live by

Well, you've grown so much, now it's time to fly
And I know I've got to realize you're no longer mine
I'm giving you away, but I'm never gonna let you go

You found a love that will carry you
It brings me tears of joy to see a heart so true
And if he treats you right and I know he will
There ain't nothing in this whole wide world that you can't do
And I left my fears on the wayside
And I'm happy for the love you chose to live by

Well, you've grown so much and now it's time to fly
And I know I've got to realize you're no longer mine
And I just want to tell you, it'll do you right to know
I'm giving you away, but I'm never gonna let you go
And I just want to tell you, it'll do you right to know
I'm giving you away, but I'm never gonna let you go

Going To A Town

(Norah Jones & Rufus Wainwright / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I'm going to a town that has already been burnt down
I'm going to a place that has already been disgraced
I'm going to see some folks who have already been let down
I'm so tired of America

I'm going to make it up for all of The Sunday Times
I'm going to make it up for all of the nursery rhymes
They never really seem to want to tell the truth
I'm so tired of you, America

Making my own way home
Ain't going to be alone
I've got a life to lead, America
I've got a life to lead

Tell me
Do you really think you go to hell for having loved
Tell me
Enough of thinking everything that you've done is good
I really need to know
After soaking the body of Jesus Christ in blood
I'm so tired of America

I really need to know
I may just never see you again or might as well
You took advantage of a world that loved you well
I'm going to a town that has already been burnt down
I'm so tired of you, America

Making my own way home
Ain't going to be alone
I've got a life to lead, America
I've got a life to lead
I got a soul to feed
I got a dream to heed
And that's all I need

Making my own way home
Ain't going to be alone
I'm going to a town, yeah
That has already been burnt down

Haunted

(Norah Jones & Laufey / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

One more kiss
Wine-stained lips
I don't want to go to sleep yet
Pale moonlight
Misty eyes
I'll allow myself to have him just tonight

And I hold on to every ounce of sin
I know he don't love me quite like I love him
I swear to myself as he leaves at dawn
This will end till he haunts me again

Rose perfume
Low-lit room
I'll pretend you'll stay forever
Lay me down
Ghostly sounds
Haunt the hallways as he wraps me around

And I hold on to every ounce of sin
I know he don't love me quite like I love him
I swear to myself as he leaves at dawn
This will end till he haunts me again

How Long Has This Been Going On

(Judy Garland cover / Norah Jones & Rufus Wainwright / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years
Listen you, tell me do
How long has this been going on

There were chills down my spine
And some thrills I can't define
Little wow, tell me now
How long has this been going on

Dear, when in your arms, I creep
That divine rendez-vous
Don't wake me if I'm asleep
Let me dream that it's true

Kiss me once, then once more
What a dunce I was before
What a break, for heaven's sake
How long has this been going on

Oh I wish that I could melt
Into heaven I'm hurled
Now I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world

Kiss me once, then once more
What a dunce I was before
What a break, for heaven's sake
How long has this been going on
How long has this been going on

I Can't Make You Love Me

(Bonnie Raitt cover / Norah Jones & Robert Glasper / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices
Inside my head
Lay down with me
And tell me no lie
Just hold me close
Don't patronize
Don't patronize

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you don't
No, you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me
If you don't

I Can't Wait

(Norah Jones & Rodrigo Amarante / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I can't wait
Serenading hope a song for idle hands
Warm enough to make you sleep until it burns
It's a flameless pyre
When it breathes awake with the wind in turn
I don't believe in fate
I respect the fire in dreams that wake

Our hearts beat as one
That old dream of ours
To be free is to belong

I can't wait
While parading robes are out to quite a dance
Cold enough to make you freeze before it hurts
In all heartless ire
There's a boy afraid to be left alone
I won't rely on faith
I reject the choir of mirrored praise

Our hearts beat as one
That old dream of ours
To be free is to belong

So don't wait on above
And don't blame on below
Is it chance when you stand

Is It Magic

(Norah Jones & Max Clarke a.k.a. Cut Worms / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I got a love I intend to keep at all costs
After all that we've been through
Now nothing is lost
Doesn't anybody have a job
Doesn't anybody see
If you don't know now, then never mind
How could I make you believe
In this magic feeling I'm having
Oh I'm at the moon
All over you

I got a love and it's gonna be true without end
Now the change is coming all over again
Doesn't anybody have a time
Doesn't anybody see
If you don't know now, then never mind
How could I make you believe
In this magic feeling I'm having
I'm at the moon
All over you

Lifeline

(Norah Jones & M. Ward / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

One, two, one, two

Met my future self in the mirror
He said, "Only you can save us now"

So I'll say it out loud
In a crowded room
At the top of my lungs
"I want you to know I love you so
But I need you to be a lifeline for me
And if you could be a lifeline for me
I'll be a lifeline for you someday, you'll see
And I won't let go"
I won't let go

Hanging off the edge of a canyon
Or maybe you just can't seem to climb out of bed

I'll say it again
In the lion's den
Of your daddy's house
"I want you to know I love you so
But I need you to be a lifeline for me
And if you could be a lifeline for me
I'll be a lifeline for you someday, you'll see
And I won't let go"
I won't let go
I won't let go
And I won't let go
I won't let go
I won't let go
No, I won't let go
And I won't let go
I won't let go
I won't let go
I won't let go
I won't let go
I won't, I won't let go

Life On Earth

(Hurray For The Riff Raff / Norah Jones & Alynda Segarra / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Sky in the trees
And birds and the bees
Life on Earth is long
Rivers and lakes
And floods and earthquakes
Life on Earth is long

And no, I might not meet you there
Leaving it beyond repair

Won't you hold me
So I can see
The man in the mask
At the desk with a flask
Sings "Life on Earth is long"
And the girl in a cage
With the moon in her eye
Sings "Life on Earth is long"

And no, I might not meet you there
To feel the breeze and breathe the air
Oh but it's in me
Infinitely

Monarchs in flight
The dawn's early light
Life on Earth is long
And the sun in the west
And the one you love best
Oh life on Earth is long

And no, I might not meet you there
Your spirit blinded by despair
Oh but the lightning strikes
To illuminate the night

And no, I might not meet you there
Through galaxies of song and prayer

I'll be lost in time
Growing on a vine
Egyptian spring
And love in Beijing
Life on Earth is long
Oh life on Earth is long

Living In The City

(Hurray For The Riff Raff / Norah Jones & Alynda Segarra / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

One, two
One, two, three and

I've got her cane
Oh and Big Danny is wasted
He said I'm the sweetest thing
That he's never tasted
Mariposa's singing love songs
All in her dark apartment
Fourteen floors a-birthing
And fourteen floors a-dying

Living in the city
Living in the city
We're just living in the city
Living in the city
Living in the city, boy
Well, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard

I'll take you to the stairwell
I'll give you something I can offer
You know the heart is not the hopeless
The heart is a lonely hunter
Hot long summer days
We're just sneaking by the river
Oh I'll lock my dreams away
I'll watch the city quiver

Living in the city
Living in the city
We're just living in the city
Living in the city
Oh living in the city, boy
Well, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard
You know

Gypsy bit the dust
You know the shit he had
It was poisoned
Now everybody wants
Just a taste of what we sold him
Standing on the rooftops
We're just yelling till the morning
All surrounded by the visions
Of all who came before them

Living in the city
Living in the city
We're just living in the city
Living in the city
Oh living in the city, boy
Well, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard

Living in the city
Living in the city
We're just living in the city
Living in the city
Oh living in the city, boy
Well, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard
Oh it's hard, it's hard, it's hard

Lone Didion

(Norah Jones & Andrew Bird / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

She's a lone, she's a lone, lone, lone Didion
She's a lone, she's a lone, lone, lone Didion
Get along, get along without her
Get along, get along without him
Lone Didion

Every Saturday night, she came in with him
Table six in the back, tall beer and a gin
Now she comes in alone, lone Didion

And he lies, says he'll keep you safer
And he leaves and he makes you pay for your gin
Now she comes in alone, lone Didion

Put the top down, skip town, yellow corvette
Up to the East Bay, trees swaying, never get wet
Going ahead for the hills of Montana
Gotta get away from these mad Santa Anas
Lone Didion

Every Saturday night, she came in with him
Table six in the back, tall beer and a gin
Now she comes in alone, lone Didion

And he lies, says he'll keep you safer
And he leaves and he makes you pay for
Now she comes in alone, lone Didion
 

Long Lonely Road

(Norah Jones & Valerie June / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Pile in the church pew rows
Gran made the best yeast rolls
Gospel stories told
'Bout the one way to save your soul

That old guitar
Gas up that old Ford car
We're gonna hit the dusty road
Four wheels can barely load

It's been a long
It's been a long, lonely road

Pops earned his bread in dust
But his hard-working hands fed us
Sun up till sun sank down
His body worked to the ground

Folks thought we had it made
'Cause we always kept a face
Meanwhile there's bills to pay
And the stack growing every day

It's been a long
It's been a long, long
Been a long, long, long, long, lonely road

My, my, my, it's been a long
Been a long, long
Been a long, long, long, long, lonely road

It's been a long
It's been a long, long
Been a long, long, long, long, lonely road

My, my, my, it's been a long
Been a long, long
Been a long, long, long, long, lonely road

Lusitania

(Norah Jones & Andrew Bird / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

One, two, three

If your loose and libel lips
They keep sinking all my ships
Oh then you're the one who sank my Lusitania
But somehow don't register as pain at all
Till it finds your crooked vein
It should help us not remember the Maine

You're laying mines along your shore
Through my hull it ripped and tore
We don't study this war no more

So we let our back bones slip
Till the arc spits from our fingertips
And we'll become a hazard in the rain
Oh and we'll get charged out in the rain

There's a sixty-cycle hum
Go ahead, say something dumb, boy
There's no shame
There's no shame
Go ahead, say something dumb, boy
There's no shame

You're laying mines against (along) your shore
Through my hull it ripped and tore
We don't study this war no more 

Manifest

(Norah Jones & Andrew Bird / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I'm coming to the edge of the widest canyon
My companion's dear
I'm starting to question my manifest destiny
My claim to this frontier

I'm coming to the brink of a great disaster
End just has to be near
The Earth spins faster, whistles right past you
Whispers death in your ear
Don't pretend you can't hear
Don't pretend you can't

I can hear your tendrils still digging
For everything that's walked this earth once living
Then to be exhumed and burned to vapor
Can you save her

Now she's in the air
Radical and free
Neither here nor there
She's obliged to no one
Obliged to no one

Well, I'm coming to the edge of a rising ocean
Such commotion and fear
Keeping all our eyes on what's on the horizon
And all that we hold, dear

I'm coming to the brink of a great disaster
End just has to be near
The Earth spins faster, whistles right past you
Whispers death in your ear
Don't pretend you can't hear
Don't pretend you can't

I can hear your tendrils still digging
Everything that's walked this earth once living
Then to be exhumed and burned to vapor
Can you save her

Now she's in the air
Radical and free
Not a goddamn care
She's obliged to no one
Obliged to no one

Don't pretend you can't hear
Don't pretend you can't hear
 

Maybe It's All Right

(Norah Jones & Cat Popper / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Lately, I might not mind
If I slow down and I lose
I guess I just get tired of waiting
To feel all right
Maybe that's all right

I got a whiplash fascination
With a thousand ways to let you down
I sit here poking at my bruises
Maybe that's all right
Maybe it's all right

The sweetest notes stick like a key in the throat
Emptiness is mine, I guess
And that's all right
That's all right

Home is so complicated
I rattle when I want to settle down
A sleepy head fills up with sparrows
All night
All right

The sweetest notes stick like a key in the throat
I can't finesse a single "yes"
And that's all right
That's all right
It's all right

Maybe oh just maybe
I'll take my chances as I'm falling
The vines unwind until I find there's flowers in my wake
If life was fair, I'd be in trouble

The sweetest notes stick like a key in my throat
Happiness is such a mess
And that's all right
It's all right
It's all right
That's all right

Mystery

(Norah Jones & Lukas Nelson / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Your head is spinning and you don't know why
Your heart is heavy, you can't see the sky
I know you love me, but you still kind of need
A mystery

And I can switch to any speed you need
Just say the word and I will slow my feet
And let me tell you, I can easily be
A mystery

I was working on you overtime
Just to show you I could
Stay in line with all your needs
But I can always be
A mystery

I'm gonna trust that sparkle in your eyes
And I won't listen to the darkness in my mind
The only thing I'll ever need from you
Is honesty

So let me take you to a love so free
It's something beautiful, you really gotta see
Then maybe someday we won't even need
A mystery

I was working on you overtime
Just to show you I could
Stay in line with all your needs
But I can always be
Your mystery

I was working on you overtime
Just to show you I could
Stay in line with all your needs
But I can always be
A mystery
A mystery

Nice Things

(Tank And The Bangas / Norah Jones & Tarriona 'Tank' Ball / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Later, later, alligator
Smell the vapors, okay
Okay, okay, okay
Nice things
I ain't got no chill
I ain't got your mail
You should do some nice things for me
Gucci purse, Gucci watch
That's what's up
You should do some nice things for me
You should buy some ice cream for me
You should do some nice things for me
Nice things

So I hit him on a Tuesday
Making sure I ain't too busy
That's the only time I'm in your city
I ain't had no nice things in a minute
Why don't we go shopping for the vintage
I need a OG with a goatee
Got a Cadillac, no car seat
Keep it pine fresh
That's the Cali weed
On the lake front
That's a summer scene
Makes common sense like August Greene

You should do some nice things for me
Gucci purse, Gucci watch
That's what's up, by my side
Do some nice things for me
It's a good love
You should buy some ice cream for me

I like vanilla
I like chocolate
You like chocolate?
I like neapolitan
It's a little tart
Oh I love a neapolitan with a little strawberry

Nice things
Nice things

It's the weekend
I already planned my weekend
Hit up your friends
Text my ex-boyfriend
Is we chilling or what
We should link up
Kissy face, we make up
Like we made up

In the suicide doors
I want more, that's a score
Hitting beaches in L.A.
Pretty boys down in The Bay
Can ya open up the door for me
Can you bring it back
Shutting down stores for me

Man, can you uh
Can you open up the doors for me
Man, can you bring it back
Shutting down the stores for me
What, what, what
Can you open up the door for me
Or slide the keys
Say your motherfucking jag

You should do some nice things for me
Gucci purse, Gucci watch
Nice things for me
That's a good look
That's a good look
That's a good look

You should buy some red beans for me
Oh like red beans
I forgot about the rest of the goddamn song
Nice things for me
Nice things, yeah

Smell the vapors, okay
Okay, okay, okay, okay
Okay, okay, okay, okay
I ain't got no chill

I ain't got no chill

Later, later, later, alligator
Smell those vapors, okay
Okay, okay, okay, okay
Okay, okay, okay, okay
You should do some nice things for me
Nice things

Once Upon A Poolside

(Norah Jones & The National / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Don't make this any harder
Everybody's waiting
Walk-on's almost over
Teenagers on ice
Try to keep my distance
Talking of forgiveness
Once upon a poolside
Underneath the lights

What was the worried thing you said to me

I'll follow you everywhere
While you work the room
I don't know how you do it
Tangerine perfume
I'm not doing anyone
Any kind of favors
Watching airplanes land
And sink into the pavement

What was the worried thing you said to me

I can't keep talking
I can't stop shaking
I can't keep track of
Everything I'm taking
Everything is different
Why do I feel the same
Am I asking for too much
Can't hear what you're saying

What was the worried thing you said to me
I thought we could make it through anything

This is the closest we've ever been
And I have no idea what's happening
Is this how this whole thing is going to end
This is the closest we've ever been

Don't make this any harder
Everybody's waiting
Walk-on's almost over
Teenagers on ice
Try to keep my distance
Talking of forgiveness
Once upon a poolside
Underneath the lights

What was the worried thing you said to me
I thought we could make it through anything

One Of These Days

(Norah Jones & Bedouine / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Always looking for your next climb
The things I want don't take time
Or money, honey, you'll get it
One of these days
One of these days our love ignites
We're gonna get it and get it right
One of these days

If I'm talking sweet to you
You know I'd like to hear it too
It's funny, honey, to think
It's a passing phase
But if I feel alone in the morning dew
I start to see new shades of blue

One of these days
You know I'm gonna set our hearts ablaze
If it's my last living deal

If I feel our loving fade
You may as well turn the blade
It's running, honey, my mouth
I know, for days
But robin's singing the same old song
And I ain't doing nothing wrong

One of these days
You know I'm gonna set our hearts ablaze
If it's the last thing I do

One of these days
You know I'm gonna set our hearts ablaze
If it's the last thing I do

If it's true that I feel
More for you than you do for me
It's stunning, honey, how love has some delays
'Cause one of these days our love takes flight
We're gonna get it and get it right
One of these days

Over The Rainbow

(Judy Garland cover / Norah Jones & Mickey Raphael / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away upon the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I

Poses

(Norah Jones & Rufus Wainwright / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

The yellow walls are lined with portraits
And I've got my new red fetching leather jacket
All these poses, such beautiful poses
Makes any boy feel like picking up roses

There's never been such grave a matter
As comparing our new brand name black sunglasses
All these poses, such beautiful poses
Makes any boy feel as pretty as princes

The green autumnal parks conducting
All the city streets, a wondrous chorus singing
All these poses, oh how can you blame me
Life is a game and true love is a trophy

And you said
Watch my head about it
Baby, you said
Watch my head about it
My head about it
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no, no kidding

Reclined amongst these packs of reasons
For to smokes the days away into the evenings
All these poses of classical torture
Ruined my mind like a snake in the orchard
I did go from wanting to be someone now
I'm drunk and wearing flip-flops on Fifth Avenue

Once you've fallen from classical virtue
Won't have a soul for to wake up and hold you

In the green autumnal parks conducting
All the city streets, a wondrous chorus
Singing all these poses, now no longer boyish
Made me a man ah, but who cares what that is

And you said
Watch my head about it
Baby, you said
Watch my head about it
My head about it
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no

And you said
Watch my head about it
Singing, you said
Watch my head about it
My head about it
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no, no kidding

Prescription

(Norah Jones & Remi Wolf / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Get this feeling whenever you call
Got this pit in my stomach
Makes my skin crawl in the best way
So long, so patient, so easy

If you want it, baby, I can prove it
I will show it to you
If you want it, baby, I can prove it
I will show it to you

Hold, hold me by your hand
Take me wherever you can
I'll always tag along
You make it easy to choose
You turn my red into blues
Even my mother approves
You're my one prescription, yeah
You're my one

Oh baby
I've been climbing over the walls I made
Getting over the mess in my head
So I put my bread in the toaster
And I'm making my bed
It ain't easy being needy
But I cannot help it

If you want it, baby, I can prove it
I will show it to you
If you want it, baby, I can prove it
I will show it to you

Hold, hold me by the hand
Take me wherever you can
And I'll always tag along
You make it easy to choose
You turn my red into blues
Even my mother approves
You're my one prescription, baby, baby

The fire and the flames, that's you
We're one in the same, it's true
And I really like you
The fire and the flames, that's you
'Cause we're one in the same, it's true
And I really like you

Razor

(Foo Fighters / Norah Jones & Dave Grohl / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Wake up, it's time
We need to find a better place to hide
Make up your mind
I need to know, I need to know tonight

Sweet and divine

Razorblade shine

Patience, my dear
We could spend a lifetime waiting here
Maybe this time
I hope I (to) get the chance to say goodbye

Because we separate
Like ripples on a blank shore

Take me with you
Dedicated to all hu-
All human beings

Rhododendron
Nightblooming jasmine
Deadly nightshade
Fox Glove renegade

One, two, three, hey

Save It For Me

(Wilco / Norah Jones & Jeff Tweedy / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Save it for me
When the world falls apart
I can say with certainty

There's a reason
A light left on in an empty room
Is how a love can be

A rainbow word in a mouth of clouds
Darkened days
Who needs you now

A rainbow word in a mouth of clouds
Darkened days
Who needs me now

Save it for me
When the world falls apart
I can say with certainty

There's a reason
There's a pie left out that you can't consume
So sweet you cannot eat

There's a reason
No one will call today
The people you lean on
Don't always know what to say

Save it for me
When the world falls apart
I can say with certainty

There's a reason
A light left on in an empty room
Is how a love can be
Is all a love can be
Is all a love can be
Is all a love can be

Sea Of Love

(Norah Jones & The National / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Oh you say you love me, Joe
How am I supposed to know
When you go under the waves
What am I supposed to say

I see people on the floor
They slide into the sea
Can't stay here anymore
We're turning into fiends

If I stay here, trouble will find me
If I stay here, I'll never leave
If I stay here, trouble will find me
I believe

Joe, I'll always think of you
As a kind of child who knew
This was never gonna last
Oh Joe, you fell so fast

Hey Joe, sorry, I hurt you but
They say love is a virtue, don't they
Hey Joe, sorry, I hurt you but
They say love is a virtue, don't they
Hey Joe, sorry, I hurt you but
They say love is a virtue, don't they
Hey Joe, sorry, I hurt you but
They say love is a virtue, don't they

I see people on the floor
They slide into the sea
Can't stay here anymore
We're turning into fiends

What did Harvard teach you
I see you rushing down
Tell me how to reach you
I see you rushing dow
What did Harvard teach you

Tell me how to reach you

Send For Me

(Norah Jones & The National / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

If you're ever sitting at the airport
And you don't want to leave
Don't even know what you're there for
Send for me

If you're ever heartsick in an elevator
Full of bachelorettes
Cornered in and it's taking forever
Please, don't forget

Send for me whenever, wherever
Send for me, I'll come and get you
Send for me whenever, wherever

If you're ever at a glass-top table
Selling your ideas
To swivel-chairing underlings
Who just don't see it

If you're singing in a song museum
Without a drop to drink
And you can't even make eye contact
Can't even think

Send for me whenever, wherever
Send for me, I'll come and get you
Send for me whenever, wherever

Send for me whenever, wherever
Send for me, I thought you'd never
Send for me whenever, wherever

Run out, run out, run out to me now

Run out, run out, run out, run out to me now

Run out, run out, run out to me now
Run out, run out, I'm pulling around
Run out, run out, run out, run out to me now

If you're ever in a psychiatric greenhouse
With slip-on shoes
Wipe a smile on the shatterproof windows
I'll know what to do

If you're ever in the gift shop dying inside
Filling up with tears
'Cause you thought of somebody you loved
You haven't seen in years

Send for me whenever, wherever
Send for me, I'll come and get you
Send for me whenever, wherever

Send for me whenever, wherever
Send for me, I thought you'd never
Send for me whenever, wherever

Sold My Soul

(Norah Jones & Max Clarke a.k.a. Cut Worms / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Well, somebody found it somewhere
At an old flea market fair
With no number on the tag

Let it go for half a dollar
Well, they didn't even bother
To wrap it up inside a bag

I was drinking gasoline
In a half-price limousine
Watching TV in the back

When much to my surprise
When I hit channel five
Nearly had a heart attack

I sold my soul somewhere so long ago
Oh I didn't think too much at the time
I was young and I didn't know
Oh till I saw it late one night
On the antiques road show
Expert collectors to appraise
Well

Well, the trip that I was on
Like a re-run marathon
Of blue days and black nights

Where the Marlboro angels play
For the men like birds of prey
'Neath the masthead burning bright

I saw it on display
Like imitation Faberge
Ogled by the mid-life herds

And the signal came on through
Like a bad dream come true
Leaves you at a loss for words

I sold my soul somewhere so long ago
Oh I didn't think too much at the time
I was young and I didn't know
Oh till I saw it late one night
On the antique road show
Just to see what I could raise
Well

Now I'm commercial grade
Fit for the wall street trade
Swimming with the price of gold

Commemoration baseball cards
Courtesy of Scotland Yard
Dug up from the days of old

Ring-mottled cathedral glass
Handwritten "Leaves Of Grass"
Certified and guaranteed

Well, they're throwing it all away
I may get it back some day
They just can never never see
What it could mean to me

I sold my soul somewhere so long ago
Oh I didn't think too much at the time
I was young and I didn't know
Oh till I saw it late one night
On the antique road show
Like looking into my own grave, yeah

So what's it gonna be
You want a piece of me
Could it help to ease the pain

Can you tell me so
'Cause I'd like to know
If you have been entertained

By a funeral song
For even half as long
As your attention span allows

Can you tell me so
'Cause I'd like to know
If you have been entertained

Solitary Daughter

(Norah Jones & Bedouine / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

With the conviction of the woman you made me
I find blades of grass from the island you lent me
I find on every floor
In every drawer

Though I'm not an island, I'm a body of water
Jeweled in the evening, a solitary daughter
If picked at by noon
By midnight, I'm ruined

Leave me alone to the books and the radio snow
Leave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing shadow

If each blade of grass was meant here for me
Split apart, sliced and wedged in for me
Who's gonna treat it
I'm not going to need it

Leave me alone to the books and the radio snow
Leave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing shadows

I am a lake, don't need to be watered
I am an ocean, I don't need to barter
I play with the moon, my only friend
It pushes, it pulls, I don't pay rent
I don't need the walls to bury my grave
I don't need your company to feel saved
I don't need the sunlight, my curtains don't draw
I don't need objects to keep or to pawn
I don't want your pity, concern or your scorn
I'm calm by my lonesome, I feel right at home
And when the wind blows, I get to dancing
My fun is the rhythm of air when it's prancing

I play with the moon, my only friend
It pushes it, pulls me, I don't pay rent
I don't need the walls to bury my grave
I don't need your company to feel saved
I don't need the sunlight, my curtains don't draw
I don't need objects to keep or to pawn
I don't want your pity, concern or your scorn
I'm calm by my lonesome, I feel right at home

Leave me alone to the books and the radio snow
Leave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing shadow

Statues

(Foo Fighters / Norah Jones & Dave Grohl / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

You and I were two old and tortured souls
Repaired by a love of broken things
In a life, just some bodies growing old
No fear of the end, of anything

We're just ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues eventually

We got by though we never needed much
A sliver of hope, no diamond rings
We got high, it was heaven, it was hell
Flying over them with broken wings

We're just ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues eventually
Oh just two ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues eventually

Our bones forever in stone
Monuments of life
To dust as everything must
We're fading away in time

We're just ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues eventually
Oh just two ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues eventually

Story Of An Artist

(Daniel Johnston cover / Norah Jones & M. Ward / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Listen up and I'll tell a story
About an artist growing old
Some will try for fame and glory
And others aren't so bold

And everyone and friends and family
Saying, "Hey, go get a job
Why do you only do that only
And why are you so odd"

They say, "We don't really like what you do
We don't think anyone ever will
We think you have a problem
And this problem's made you ill"

The artist walks among the flowers
Appreciating the sun
He's out there, all his waking hours
Oh who's to say that he's wrong

But the artist walks alone
And someone says behind his back
"He's got some gall to call himself that
He doesn't even know where he's at"

So listen up and I'll tell a story
About an artist growing old
Some will try for fame and glory
Others like to watch the world

Sunday Afternoon

(Blossom Dearie cover / Norah Jones & Remi Wolf / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

We're on the highway
We're digging Sunday afternoon
Roll up the highway
We're heading for a Sunday afternoon
Plenty of sunshine
Lighting the way for lovely things to do

Taking our own sweet time
Starting out easy and slow
We're on the highway
We're digging Sunday afternoon

Plenty of people
Stretching their legs out, shifting into gear
Travelling roads with
Curious faces staring back at you

Taking our own sweet time
Moving up easy and slow
We're on the highway
We're digging Sunday afternoon

Have you been floating with your dream
Taking turns you have never seen
Do you want to go
Do you want to go

Thinking 'bout people
Tasting the sweetness
Living to the full
Thinking 'bout children
Laughing and singing
Taking us to school

Taking our own sweet time
Growing up easy and slow
We're on the highway
We're digging Sunday afternoon

Going far in a motorcar
Learning 'bout who and where we are
Waving to our friends
Smiling back again

Thinking 'bout people
Tasting the sweetness
Living to the full
Thinking 'bout children
Laughing and singing
Taking us to school

Taking our own sweet time
Growing up easy and slow
We're on the highway
We're digging Sunday afternoon

Waving to our friends
Smiling back again

We're on the highway
We're digging Sunday afternoon

The End

(Norah Jones & Rodrigo Amarante / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Early fall painted red
Broken foal put to bed
Bitter words against the sun
Before a night that soon will never come

Now the moon tucks me in
It sings about my every sin
The devil's tails a turn apart
Heaven's just a walk
In hell, away, in all
To live is to fall
And what if I knew
Then what would I know

Winter night turning blue
My eyes adjust to seeing you
Shadows take what light has fled
A candle lit is hanging by a thread

It is the end
As the wind whispered
As the rain doesn't fall
As I wait another spring and sing
To find a gift to give
A hand to take
Beyond the bend
A mend to meet my end
What if I knew
Then what would I know
To live is to fall

The Kiss

(Judee Sill cover / Norah Jones & Chris Thile / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Love rising from the mist
Promise me this and only this
Holy breath touching me
Like a wind song
Sweet communion of a kiss

Sun sifting through the grey
Enter in, reach me with a ray
Silently swooping down
Just to show me
How to give my heart away

Once a crystal choir appeared
While I was sleeping and called my name
And when they came down nearer
Saying dying is done
Then a new song was sung
Until somewhere we breathed as one
And still I hear their whisper

Stars bursting in the sky
Hear the sad nova's dying cry
Shimmering memory
Come and hold me
While you show me how to fly

Sun sifting through the grey
Enter in, reach me with a ray
Silently swooping down
Just to show me
How to give my heart away

Lately sparkling hosts
Come fill my dreams descending on firey beams
I've seen 'em come down clearly
Where our poor bodies lay
Soothe us gently and say
Gonna wipe all your tears away
And still I hear their whisper

Love rising from the mist
Promise me this and only this
Holy breath touching me
Like a wind song
Sweet communion of a kiss

The Wave

(Norah Jones & Bedouine / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Well of tomorrows flow over for you
Not really a well, may as well be the sea
I tease the leaves of days gone by
But turned and looking to the sky
I try to borrow

I cannot contain
The way I feel for you
Or anything
I ride the wave

Bells of sorrow ring the horizon
Sky, blue sky, burning pink
Though the fire is silent
Are you waiting way out there
As all I can do is stare
Out from this island

I cannot contain
The way I feel for you
Or anything
I ride the wave

I'd break my bones
To swim out past the waves
I'd break my heart
To see a different way

This Isn't Helping

(Norah Jones & The National / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I cannot believe what you get away with
You find beauty in anything
Whenever you look down into a sewer
You see a diamond ring

It isn't fair how you never look like you're trying
As if you couldn't care any less
And I'm here kicking myself to keep from crying
You say you're impressed

But this isn't helping at all
It only makes me want to get further off
This isn't helping at all
This isn't helping

You can say that this doesn't have to hurt
You're there if you need to be found
Can't you see that that makes it so much worse
I'll always see you around

Maybe, in time, we can give it one more try
But let's think about what matters now
Keep kicking yourself to keep from crying
That you're so right about

'Cause this isn't helping at all
I know you think it's kindness, but it's not
This isn't helping at all
This isn't helping

Don't say that it's all your fault
I know you're banking on it coming up
But would your life be so bad
If you knew every single thought I had

'Cause I only have two things to say to you
But you say two things about everything, babe
Well, just when I thought you don't even notice me at all

This isn't helping at all
Only makes me want to get further off
This isn't helping at all
This isn't helping

This isn't helping at all
I know you think it's kindness, but it's not
This isn't helping at all
This isn't helping

Thoughts Of Mary Jane

(Nick Drake cover / Norah Jones & Bedouine / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Who can know
The thoughts of Mary jane
Why she flies
Or goes out in the rain
Where she's been
And who she's seen
In her journey to the stars

Who can know
The reasons for her smile
What are her dreams
When they've journeyed for a mile
The way she sings
And her brightly coloured rings
Make her the princess of the sky

Who can know
What happens in her mind
Did she come from a strange world
And leave her mind behind
Her long lost sighs
And her brightly coloured eyes
Tell her story to the wind

Who can know
The thoughts of Mary Jane
Why she flies
Or goes out in the rain
Where she's been
And who she's seen
In her journey to the stars

Too Bad

(Norah Jones & Max Clarke a.k.a. Cut Worms / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Walking a maze of private drives
Acting like I know my way
Something eating at my mind
That I'm doing my best not to say

Just what all I'd stand to loose
When at last we do depart
All the dreams you've never had
Go like shadows in the dark

Too bad that we never see 'em at all
Too bad that we never see 'em at all
Too bad that we never see 'em at all the wrong times

Heart's pounding's cold and slow
I have wandered out of touch
And my compass face is blank
And the map I have shows too much

Like diamonds in the rain
Life waiting to bе found
Love that courses in your veins
Likе a river underground

Too bad that we never see it all
Too bad that we never see it at all
Too bad that we never see it at all the wrong times

Deep inside the engine room
Waves upon the frozen beach
Like a riptide all control
I have drifted so far out of reach

Eyes look out from the woods
Watch the ships burn on the shore
Never know till it's too late
Just the kinda deal you're in for

Too bad that we never see it at all
Too bad that we never see it at all
Too bad that we never see 'em at all the wrong times

Two Sleepy People

(Hoagy Carmichael cover / Norah Jones & Seth MacFarlane / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Here we are, out of cigarettes
Holding hands and yawning, look how late it gets
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
And too much in love to say good night

Here we are in the cozy chair
Picking on a wishbone from the Frigidaire
Two sleepy people with nothing to say
And too much in love to break away

Do you remember the nights we used to linger in the hall
Father didn't like you at all
Remember the reason why we married in the fall
To rent this little nest and get a bit of rest

Well, here we are, we're just about the same
Foggy little fella, drowsy little dame
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
And too much in love to say good night

Do you remember the nights we used to cuddle in the car
Watching every last fading star
Remember the doctor said your health under par
And you, my little schnooks, were ruining your looks

Well, here we are, keeping up the pace
Letting each tomorrow slap us in the face
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
And too much in love to say good night

Undertaker

(Norah Jones & M. Ward / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Well, love is so good
When you're treated like you should be
The sky goes on forever
In a symphony of song

And how the water can flow
Like it's streaming out a fountains
And all you got to do
Is find a sword and a stone

And how it takes all the night
Like birds of paradise like
Way down in Pollyanna
Where the race runs wild

Oh but if you're gonna leave
Better call the undertaker
Take me under, undertaker
Take me home

Oh just place me in a box
And fasten all the locks
And with a one, two throw me over
The bay side bridge

Because love is so good
When you're treated like you should be
The sea goes on forever
In a symphony of song

Oh but if you're gonna leave
You better call the undertaker
Take me under, undertaker
Take me home

Yeah if you're gonna leave
You better call the undertaker
Take me under, undertaker
Take me home

Valentine

(Norah Jones & Laufey / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I've rejected affection
For years and years
Now I have it and damn
It's kind of weird

He tells me I'm pretty
Don't know how to respond
I tell him that he's pretty, too
Can I say that, don't have a clue

With every passing moment
I surprise myself
I'm scared of flies
I'm scared of guys
Someone, please, help

'Cause I think I've fallen in love this time
I blinked and suddenly I had a Valentine

What if he's the last one I kiss
What if he's the only one I'll ever miss
Maybe I should run, I'm only twenty-one
I don't even know who I want to become

I've lost all control of my heartbeat now
Got caught in a romance with him somehow
I still feel a shock through every bone
When I hear an "I love you"
'Cause now I've got someone to lose

The first one to ever like me back
I'm seconds away from a heart attack
How the hell did I fall in love this time
And honestly, I can't believe I get to call you mine
I blinked and suddenly I had a Valentine

Virginia Moon

(Foo Fighters / Norah Jones & Dave Grohl / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Dearest constellation
Heaven surrounding you
Stay there, soft and blue
Virginia Moon
I'll wait for you tonight

Sweetest invitation
Breaking the day in two
Feeling like I do
Virginia Moon
I'll wait for you tonight

And now our shades become
Shadows in your light
In the morning wind we're through
And tomorrow rescues you
I will say goodnight

Secret fascination
Whisper a quiet tune
Hear me calling you
Virginia Moon
I'll wait for you tonight

And now our shapes become
Shadows in your light
In the morning when we're through
And tomorrow rescues you
I will say goodnight

Virginia Moon
I'll wait for you tonight

And now our shapes become
Shadows in your light
In the morning when we're through
And tomorrow rescues you
I will say goodnight
I will say goodnight
I will say goodnight

Why Am I Treated So Bad

(The Staple Singers cover / Norah Jones, Questlove & Christian McBride / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Why am I treated so bad
Why am I treated so bad
You know I'm all alone as I sing this song
Hear my call, I've done nobody wrong
But I'm treated so bad

I'm gonna walk past the master lane
Things I do seems to be in vain
You may be blind, you may be lame
Walk on out in the master lane
Though you treat me so bad

I'm gonna walk out in the master lane
Things I do, they seem to be in vain
You may be blind, you may be lame
Just walk on out, oh yeah, in the master lane
Though you treat me so bad
Though you treat me so bad

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

(Traditional gospel / Norah Jones & Mavis Staples / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I was standing by the window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
Won't you carry my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Oh I told the undertaker
Please, drive slow
'Cause this lady, there you a-howling
Oh I hate to see her go

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

I will follow close behind her
Try to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Woo!

(Norah Jones & Remi Wolf / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Love, where does it go
And do you wake up without any control
Love, it's not the answer, it's a mindset
The question is not about who, it's how you find it

Your mother kept me hating
'Cause she told me that you're crazy
And I knew I couldn't hear it
When you talked about your feelings
Going telling all your secrets
Oh babe, I won't believe it
You got nothing but a feeling
You got nothing but a feeling for your love

So hot, got lost, got weak in the knees
Got botched like a fucked-up lip surgery
And the dentist always telling me to floss my teeth

And I'm running out of oxycontin, yeah
And I'm running out of good options, yeah
And I don't know what I really wanted, yeah
And fuck, I think I lost my wallet
Fuck, I think I lost my wallet
Fuck, I think I'm getting hotter

Woo, woo
Where does it go
And do you have the answer to my question
Baby, I don't know

But your mother kept me hating
'Cause she told me that you're crazy
And I knew I couldn't hear it
When you talked about your feelings
Going telling all your secrets
Oh babe, I don't believe it
You got nothing but a feeling
You've got nothing but a feeling for your love

We'll settle this
We settle this now
We settle this while you're still in town
We'll settle this
We'll settle it now
While you are still in town

I don't even know where to start
With you, I know what's going on
Oh babe, take me higher and higher
I don't even know where to stop
With you, don't know what's going on
Oh babe, take me higher and higher
And higher and higher, higher
We're getting fired tonight
Oh baby, quit your job
So we can go skate on ice
We're getting higher and higher
And higher and higher and higher, baby
Woo

You Are Not Alone

(Norah Jones & Mavis Staples / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

No, you're not alone
I'm with you
I'm lonely, too
What's that song
That can't be sung by two

A broken heart
A broken home
Isolated and afraid
Open up, this is a raid
I want to get it through to you
You're not alone

You're not alone
Every night
I stand in your place
Every tear
On every face
Tastes the same
Oh yeah, oh yeah

A broken dream
A broken heart
Isolated and afraid
Open up, this is a raid
I want to get it through to you
You're not alone

An open hand
An open heart
There's no need to be afraid
Open up, this is a raid
I want to get it through to you
You're not alone
No, no, I want to get it through to you
You're not alone
No, no, I'm going to get it through to you
You're not alone

PLAYING ALONG PODCAST SEASON 2

...At The Holiday Party

(Norah Jones & St. Vincent / Live at SXSW Festival, 2026 / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

At the holiday party
Red wine-lipped a little early
Reminiscing got us laughing
That's when I saw your face cracking

Pills and Juuls and speed
Your Gucci purse a pharmacy
Pretend to want these things
So no one sees you not getting
Not getting what you need
Need
You can't hide from me

Are you still working on your screenplay
Or did those lights go out on Broadway
Think if you can just keep spinning
You won't miss what you've been missing

Pills and Juuls and speed
Your little purse a pharmacy
We hide behind these things
So no one sees us not getting
Not getting what we need
Need
You can't hide
You can't hide from me

Hey, babe
You can't hide, you can't hide
You can't hide from me...
 

Ain't Misbehavin'

("Connie's Hot Chocolates" Musical / Norah Jones & Jason Moran / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

No one to talk with
All by myself
No one to walk with
But I'm happy on the shelf
Ain't misbehaving
I'm saving my love for you
For you

I know for certain
The one I love
I'm through with flirting
It's just you I'm thinking of
Ain't misbehaving
I'm saving my love for you
For you, for you
For you, for you, for you 

All I Ask Of You

(The Phantom Of The Opera / Norah Jones & Josh Groban / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

No more talk of darkness
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you

Let me be your freedom
Let daylight dry your tears
I'm here with you beside you
To guard you and to guide you

Say you love me with each waking moment
Turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you

Let me be your shelter
Let me be your light
You're safe, no one will find you
Your fears are far behind you

All I want is freedom
A world with no more night
And you with me beside me
To hold me and to hide me

Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you here beside you
Anywhere you go, let me go, too
Norah, that's all I ask of you

Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you
Share each day with me, each night, each morning
Say you love me, you know I do
Love me, that's all I ask of you

Anywhere you go, let me go, too
Love me, that's all I ask of you

All I Have To Do Is Dream

(The Everly Brothers cover / Norah Jones & Josh Groban / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream

When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream
Dream, dream, dream

When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream

I can make you mine
Taste your lips of wine
Anytime, night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I'm dreaming my life away

I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream

I can make you mine
Taste your lips of wine
Anytime, night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I'm dreaming my life away

I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream

And It's Still Alright

(Norah Jones & Nathaniel Rateliff / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

It ain't alright, the hardness of my head
Now close your eyes and spin around, say
Hard times you could find, it
Ain't the way that you want
But it's still alright

Late at night, do you lay around wondering
And counting all the lines, ain't so funny now, say
Times are hard, you get this far, but it
Ain't the way that you want
I'll be damned if this old man don't
Start to count on his losses
But it's still alright

They say you learn a lot out there
How to scorch and burn
Gonna have to bury your friends
Then you'll find it gets worse
Standing out on the ledge
With no way to get down
You start praying for wings to grow
Oh baby, just let go

I ain't alright, you keep spinning out ahead
Then it was cold outside when I hit the ground, say
I could sleep here, forget all the fear
It will take time to grow
But maybe I don't know

Now hey, tonight if you think about it
Remembering all the times that you pointed out, say
Glass is clear, but all this fear
Starts a-leaving a mark
Idle hands are all that stands
From your time in the dark
But it's still alright 

Angel

(Norah Jones & Sarah McLachlan / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always some reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
Oh and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference
Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness
Oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
 

Baby, Baby

(Norah Jones & Amy Grant / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Baby, baby
I'm taken with the notion
To love you with the sweetest of devotion
Baby, baby
My tender love will flow from
The bluest sky to the deepest ocean
Stop for a minute
Baby, I'm so glad you're mine, yeah
You're mine

Baby, baby
The stars are shining for you
And just like me, I'm sure that they adore you
Baby, baby
Go walking through the forest
The birds above a-singing you a chorus
Stop for a minute
Baby, I'm so glad you're mine
You're mine

And ever since the day you put my heart in motion
Baby, I realize that there's just no getting over you

Baby, baby
In any kind of weather
I'm here for you always and forever
Baby, baby
No muscle man could sever
My love for you is true and it will never
Stop for a minute
Baby, I'm so glad you're mine
Oh yeah

And ever since the day you put my heart in motion
Baby, I realize that there's just no getting over you

Come on, sister

And ever since the day you put my heart in motion
Baby, I realize that there's just no getting over you
Oh yeah

Baby
Always and forever, yeah
Baby, I'm so glad that
When I think about you, it makes me smile
Baby, baby, be mine

Baby, I'm so glad that you're mine
Baby, I'm so glad that you're mine
Baby, I'm so glad that you are mine

Backwards

(Norah Jones & Rachael Yamagata / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I can't be no use to you
If I can't be good for myself
I can't make it better for anybody else

Maybe it's our light's gone out
Turned off in an empty house
Nothing's gonna change until I do

And I can't be no use to you if I can't make this on my own
I can't make it better if I can't face this all alone
And it would be so easy to stay easy and that's what I fear
I'd never want to look back and regret it all by staying here and

Maybe it's our light's gone out
Turned off in an empty house
Back there's not a place that I can be

On my own
So far from home
From where we've been
I'm scared and yet I'm not alone
I know that you are here with me
Inside my heart, you'll always be
You're all I've ever known

I'm just afraid of slipping backwards
Back there's not a place that I can be
All that I am is slowly turning
And now you're not in front of me

Baby, it's the last thing that I'd ever want to do
Is go ahead and leave you now
Maybe it's the moment that you find a way to run
'Cause, baby, I can't turn around

Maybe it's our light's gone out
Turned off in an empty house
Back there's not a place that I can be
 

Better Broken

(Norah Jones & Sarah McLachlan / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Maybe if I catch my breath
Maybe if I wait a little
I'd remember how it hurts and stop before I fall
I'd forget to come apart
I'd catch myself and hold on tightly
Let memory wash over me
Forgive, but don't forget

Then you come back to me begging
"Why'd you leave, tell me why
How you could you let this go"
Let it be all it is
Small and still a memory like a stone
A jagged edge made smooth by time
Let it be all it is
Small and still and better left alone

Some things are better broken
Some things are better broken

Illusions come, the venom stings
Swirling visions, soft and perfect
They blur all the edges
'Til everything looks fine
I'll pretend I didn't cry
And you pretend that you're my savior
We both remember what we want
To get us through the night

So don't come back to me begging
"Why'd you leave, tell me why
How could you let this go"
Let it be all it is
Small and still a memory like a stone
A jagged edge made smooth by time
Let it be all it is
Small and still and better left alone

Some things are better broken
Some things are better broken

Let it be all it is
Small and still a memory like a stone
A jagged edge made smooth by time
Let it be all it is
Small and still and better left alone

Some things are better broken
Some things are better broken
Some things are better broken

Borderline

(Norah Jones & Lucius / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Maybe in time
You'll be starting over
On the other side
You'll walk the line
No kind of life
Looking over your shoulder
You'll only find what you're trying to hide

Even when you say that it's over
Trying to convince me you're doing fine
I can see that borderline

Maybe in time
When hell freezes over
I'll be surprised
You'll be satisfied
Honey, I'm tired
Looking for the old you
The one that I would recognize

Even when you say that it's over
Trying to convince me you're doing fine
I can see that borderline in your eyes

Even when you say that it's over
Trying to convince me you're doing fine
I can see that borderline in your eyes
Every time you lie
Every time you lie
Every time you lie


Break Apart

(Norah Jones & Rachael Yamagata / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Please, baby, please, don't go
Please, baby, I need you now
Walking the world without you just won't do
'Cause I get high
On your heart

And nobody loves like you do
And nobody makes me feel whole
And if you don't fall for me too
I'm gonna break apart

Please, baby, please, don't you lie
Don't say it's not our, say it's not our time
Nothing can stop me now from wanting you
'Cause I get so high
On your, your heart

And nobody loves like you do
And nobody makes me feel whole
And if you don't fall for me too
I'm gonna break
Apart

I'm gonna break into
A million pieces around you
If you don't fall for me too tonight
If you don't fall for me too tonight

Call Me Home

(Norah Jones & Sasami / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Settle into a life
That you like for a little while
Have a kid, get a pretty wife
Get a real job and a fake smile

Nothing is wrong and nothing is right
And I know that you're leaving tonight

But I want you to know
I want you to know
You're not alone
I want you to know
You can always call me home

A little bit of a bad thing
Never hurt anyone
But too much of a good thing
Is like a hand on your neck
So you drive and you drive
Till you're burning your eyes
In the heat of the morning sun

Nothing is wrong and nothing is right
And I know that you're leaving tonight
Packing your bags and singing your goodbyes

But I want you, I want you to know
I want you to know
You're not alone
I want you to know
You can always call me home, home
I want you to know

I want you to know
You're not alonе
I want you to know
You can always call me home
(Nothing is wrong and nothing is right)
Home
Home

Chronicles Of A Diamond

(Norah Jones & Black Pumas / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Look at the how the waves they crash
I yearn to get high like them seagulls fly
I look at how the pretty girls walk by
Dreaming I'm in love for the first time
Darling, look how my heart goes boom bap
I'm leaning on the music majesty
Sonic like a golden chalice
'Cause in a different kind of golden palace

If you want to win
Bad as you want to breathe
Out in these waters, baby
Then the tide will sing
I dub thee, cash is king, yeah
Before your soul is fading on

So look at how the world keeps spinning
I yearn to get around on the neighborhood
I'm the voice of the diamond trailing on a '77 Cadillac
Profound when I'm Cali-dreaming
Chiefing on some holy ghost I found
So look at how the flame keeps flaming
I feel I'm in love for the first time

If you want to win
Bad as you want to breathe
Out in these waters, baby
Right on, Norah
Then the tide will sing
I dub thee, cash is king
Before your soul is fading on

To the bridge now

You know it's hard to get yourself together, baby
Left side chilling, I'm cruising on the right now
When I'm running on E and I'm tired
I got to meditate, child
But now I'm calling up the crew and I'm sorry
But I'ma celebrate now
Let's sail around the block, the block
Twenty-five years dreaming like the diamond in the back

I want to win
Bad as you want to breathe
That's the truth
Out in these waters, baby
And the time will sing
I dub thee, cash is king
Before your soul is fading on

If want to win
Bad as you want to breathe, yeah
Out in these waters, baby
And the tide will sing
I dub thee, cash is king
Before your soul is fading on

Clearly

(Norah Jones & Alessia Cara / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

A million years later, here's you and me
A million pages worth of all our history
We were roaming in the desert, found an olive tree

No use in going back, deciding who was wrong
And toss the blame between us like a basketball
I've learned that it takes two to tango after all

Smoke cleared, we healed
And no, I don't hate you
We're on borrowed time
And I don't want to waste it

I feel the ocean
Between us closing in
Now we're closer
And I see the fences mending slowly
Can we be open
Forget about the rest
And start over
For the first time I can see you clearly

For the first time I can see you

I visit the beginning and we've really grown
I've analyzed the ending through a telescope
Some things can work out until they just don't

Smoke cleared, we healed
And no, I don't hate you, yeah
We're on borrowed time
And I don't want to waste it

I feel the ocean
Between us closing in
Now we're closer
And I see the fences mending slowly
Can we be open
Forget about the rest
And start over
For the first time

I feel the ocean
Between us closing in
We're closer
And I see the fences mending slowly
Can we be open
Forget about the rest
And start over
For the first time I can see you clearly

For the first time I can see you

Close To You

(Norah Jones & Margo Price / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

One, two
One, two, three

I walked out on my job, drove across the Delta
I had to be close to you
Rolled the windows down, singing to Lucinda
I had to be close to you
I didn't want to hear what my mama would say
I didn't care if I was pissing my money away
All I knew I had to be close to you

Left my phone in a truck stop diner
I had to be close to you
I honked my horn at the Tennessee border
I had to be close to you
I knocked on your door and kissed your mouth
I squeezed you tight and I said it out loud
If one thing's for certain
I had to be close to you

Close to you
All the dead ends I've been down so long
Close to you
Nowhere else that I belong

Went down to the pub to buy a couple rounds
I had to be close to you
We shot some darts while the rain came down
I had to be close to you
We talked about heaven and we talked about hell
We played the jukebox while democracy fell
Waltzed across the floor
I had to be close to you

We paid our tab and stumbled outside
I had to be close to you
Your leather jacket was soaking wet
I had to be close to you
No one else could understand
How you pull me in with your calloused hands
And the way it feels
I had to be close to you

Close to you
All the dead ends I've been down so long
Close to you
Nowhere else that I belong

I walked out on my job, drove across the Delta
I had to be close to you

Cover Girl

(Norah Jones & Lady Wry / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

When you look at me
What do you see
Am I your image of beauty
I've lost myself
Trying to please someone else
I want to be me again

Don't cover up, cover girl
Don't you hide from the world
Don't cover up, cover girl
Don't you hide from the world

The joy that I hav
Means more than anything
I know just who
Who loves me
It's me, it's me, oh it's me
I am the beauty I see

Don't cover up, cover girl
Don't you hide from the world
Don't covеr up, don't you cover, cover girl
Don't you hide, don't you hide
From the world, from thе world

Makeup, colors so pretty
You think that's all that I am, it's so silly
Eyelashes, sunglasses, now you can see me
I'm beautiful

Don't cover up, cover girl
Don't you hide from the world
Got it, got it, got it, got it, got it
Don't cover up, cover girl
Don't you hide from the world

Oh yeah

Cover girl

Day And Age

(Norah Jones & Julian Lage / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Hey, it's been a day
Hey, it's been an age
All this time I pray
That I could see your face

Will I find you in the morning
Will you appear in the night
On some sunny day
That's right

If you turn away
Or take me for a ride
In my heart I'll stay
In hopes to turn the tide

But I'll ask you in the morning
You'll tell me in the night
On some sunny day
That's right

But I'll ask you in the morning
You'll tell me in the night
On some sunny day
That's right
On some sunny day
That's right

Die Alone

(Norah Jones & Finneas / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I wasn't looking for you
But you found me, you found me
Just as the smoke filled the room
In the valley, you asked me
"Do you want to die alone
Or watch it all burn down together"
I said I'd rather try
To hold on to you forever

'Cause I know that I will love you
And I'm not letting go
If the sky darkens above you
I'll stay by your side in the afterglow

This was the place I grew up
Now it's ashes to ashes
Memories filling my cup
Comes in flashes
But when it passes and I see your eyes
I know there's nothing I'll ever find better
I think I'd rather die alone, together

'Cause I know that I will love you
And I'm not letting go
If the sky darkens above you
I'll stay by your side in the afterglow

I wasn't looking for you
But you found me

Don't Forget

(Norah Jones & Martha Wainwright / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Summer comes and rain falls away
But the very next day it seems
The snow comes to stay

And you too will go just like the dog days do
I'll put on my hat, my gloves, my scarf
To keep the cold apart

But there are no hats, gloves, scarves for the heart
Just a cold wind which leaves its frosted mark

Don't forget that I will always love you
Just a reminder to help you pave your pathway
The fall it cools and the winter it snows
Spring it rains and summer comes and you go

But in my silly mind, I've gotten married to you
You're across town, don't even have a clue
Or these images that in ten years
I'll run into you and fall right back inside of you

Don't forget that I will always love you
Just a reminder to help you pave your pathway
The fall it cools and the winter it snows
Spring it rains, summer comes and you go

Don't forget that I will always love you
Just a reminder to help you pave your pathway
The fall it cools and the winter it snows
Spring it rains, summer comes and you go

So when will we meet next and when will we be
On a platform track in an old movie
'Cause time moves in circles and can leave you anywhere
Fall it cools and the winter it snows
Spring it rains, summer comes and you go

Don't Let The Bastards Get You Down

(Norah Jones & Margo Price / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

One, two, three, four

Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't sell your heart to no businessman
He'll sell it back next time around
Don't let the bastards get you down

There's a new town coming my way
On this neverending highway
I missed my baby's birthday
Feeling sorry in the worst way
It seems I'm always losing
For another life they're choosing
They'll make you go the distance
Till you lose your own existence

Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't let 'em sell your heart and steal you blind
Make sure there's no next time around
Don't let the bastards get you down

From Aberdeen to Austin
Saint Augustine to Boston
We ain't about to give it
To those who just can't live it
They want to wear your rhinestones
Man, they ain't got the backbone
Them tone-deaf sons of bitches
They don't know you're rags to riches

Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't let 'em beat you up and bruise your pride
Don't give yourself to common clowns
Don't let the bastards get you down

Big one

When a dream becomes a nightmare
You wake up bound for nowhere
Too bored to pay attention
Too far and few to mention
Dudes looking down their noses
Thinking bullshit smells like roses
All the cocaine in existence
Couldn't keep your nose out of my business

Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't sell your heart to no businessman
He'll sell it back next time around
Don't let the bastards get you down

Keep all them haters underground
Don't let the bastards get you down

Don't Wait Up

(Norah Jones & Richard Julian / Norah Is Playing Along Podcast)

Flying half-mast overcast
With a gun ship grey
You ever hear of such a thing
A spring with no month of May

There's frost on Memorial Day
Love, I'm half-blind
Could you help me find my way

I chewed all the fun from my gum
Waiting for a train
I fell prey to those thoughts that come
When you're caught in the rain

I'm on the edge
I'm in the yellow paint
Love, I'm half-mad
Let's hope that means I'm half-sane

The touch of your lips
The lunar eclipse, so soft
And yet this river of doubt
The spout that never turns off

I want your flu, baby
Not just your cough
Please, make me a man
Not this sham whom love leaves lost

Staring out at the church
The pigeons perched in the eaves
Wondering what might have been
Had I not fallen in with thieves

Could you make that a double, please
Oh love, it's late, don't wait up for me
Love, it's late, don't wait up for me
Don't wait

Eileen

(Norah Jones & Jason Isbell / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Started out like it always starts
Try to hold the hunger back
You don't anticipate a broken heart
Can't see nothing but the track

A diamond earring in a Bowery bed
You kicked your shoes across the floor
You regret the things that went unsaid
Or have you heard it all before

Eileen, you should've seen this coming sooner
Do I mean to be alone for all my days
Eileen, you thought the truth was just a rumor
But that's your way

It ended like it always ends
Somebody crying on the phone
You tell each other you can still be friends
You both know you're on your own

My own behavior was a shock to me
I never thought I'd have the nerve
I hope you're sleeping through the night, Eileen
I hope they're grading on the curve

Eileen, you should've seen this coming sooner
Do I mean to be alone for all my days
Eileen, you thought the truth was just a rumor
But that's your way

Somebody broke my heart once
And I was useless for a week
I didn't leave my apartment
I didn't eat, I didn't sleep
But then I found the letter she wrote
Against the wall behind the bed
It said, "Forever is a dead man's joke"
And that's the only thing it said

Eileen, you should've seen this coming sooner
Do I mean to be alone for all my days
Eileen, you thought the truth was just a rumor
But that's your way
That's your way

Fallin' Rain

(Link Wray cover / Norah Jones & Nathaniel Rateliff / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I hear a sound
It's going through my brain
I hear talk of people
I feel the falling rain

I see a man crying
'Cause the whole world has let him down
Kids are laughing at the funny faces
Of a clown

My mind is like a spring in a clock
It won't unwind
I can't see, I can't think, I can't feel
I'm out of time

I'm up and then I'm down
Tell me, where is it going to end
You say start at the beginning
Of the end, my friend

I hear thunder
And I can feel the wind
I can see angry faces
In the eyes of men

And don't forget where kids lay bleeding on the ground
And there's no place on this planet
Where peace can be found

So there'll be stabbings and shootings
And young men dying all around
And it keeps going through my brain
I can still hear the sound

I hear talking of people
The whole world has gone insane
And all there is left is the falling rain
And all there is left is the falling rain
And all there is left is the falling rain

Final Days

(Norah Jones & Lucius / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I hope I didn't let you down
'Cause it's too late to make a change
You've lived a hundred lives before me
So self-involved to think that I could hold that weight
Like a mother to them all
With your arms stretched open wide
I hope you hear that heaven's call
I hope they're letting you inside

You look good like I remember
With all that sunshine on your face
I let you sit there without talking
You let me sit there in your shade
You let me dream about the future
All the plans we had to make
I hope I'm wrong about the after
And these are not your final days

Could've said I'm frightened, but I couldn't
I didn't have the heart
Are you scared of dying, I couldn't
I didn't have the heart

So I said it's waiting
Your own true paradise
Didn't have the heart
So I lied just to not see you cry
Yeah, I didn't, I didn't have the heart

The world will go on spinning
Another day, another scene
I'll be left with just a memory
Yesterday will be a dream

I'll be looking out there for you
Where all they see is empty sky
The space you left reminds me
That we don't have to say goodbye

Could've said I'm frightened, but I couldn't
I didn't have the heart
Are you scared of dying, I couldn't
I didn't have the heart

So I said it's waiting
Your own true paradise
I didn't have the heart
I didn't have the heart

So I said it's waiting
Your own true paradise
Didn't have the heart
So I lied just to not see you cry
Yeah, I didn't, I didn't have the heart

Fire

(Norah Jones & Alessia Cara / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Pick me up and take me home
Reaching through my skin and bones
Changing my DNA inch by inch
Minute by minute

All the time I used to waste
Always falling by mistake
But you're rushing to my brain
Like it's nothing
I'm jumping in headfirst and

I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire

Pick me up and set me free
Golden boy in dirty jeans
Painting me in your light
Wonder why I couldn't see it

All the time I used to waste
Always falling on my stare
But you're rushing to my brain
Like it's nothing
I'm jumping in headfirst and

I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire

I want to be where you are
Anywhere else is too far
I want to be where you are
Be where you are
Be where you are, yeah

I want to take you places
And I want to keep you safe
And I want to be where you are
Be where you are
Be where you are, yeah

I'm on fire, yeah
I'm on fire
I'm on fire, yeah
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire, yeah
I'm on fire
I'm on fire

Fly (For Mike)

(Norah Jones & Nate Smith / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I want to fly away
Fly to a peace I have never known
Won't look behind me
Nothing can bring me down
When I get off the ground

I have no fear at all
I forget that I could ever fall
I want to go where no one can keep me bound
When I get off the ground

No more will I worry
I have no reason why
If you could see me fly
You'd smile with me

I want to fly away
Where we could all be together
I want to feel that kind of warmth you get
Beside the sun

No more will I worry
I have no reason why
If you could see me fly
You'd smile with me

I want to fly away
Where we could all be together
I want to feel that kind of warmth you get
Beside the sun

I'm going to fly away
I can see the end of the runway now
Won't look behind me
Nothing can keep me down
Now that I'm off the ground
It'll be nothing but blue skies now
Now that I'm off the ground

Foxes In The Snow

(Norah Jones & Jason Isbell / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I love my love, I love her mouth
I love the way she turns the lights off in her house
And I love my love, her velvet bed
Where she's heard me sing the words that can't be said

And all the dreams that die unseen
All the diphenhydramine it took to put my soul to sleep
Now it's easy

I love my love, her golden hair
I like to picture her alone when I'm not there
I like her friends, the ones I know
And they leave drops of blood like foxes in the snow

And all the beasts beneath her bed
She defeats and leaves for dead
And falls asleep inside my head
Seems so easy

I love my love, I love her bite
I like the way she disassembles me at night
I love her well and I love her sick
I like the carrot, but I really like the stick

Of all the boys I could have been
All the fights I didn't win
They put me here against her skin
She can see me

I love my love, I love her hands
I love the way she sees the child inside the man
I love my love
I love my love
I love my love

Galahad

(Norah Jones & Aoife O'Donovan / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

You're a white knight, I'm a dark horse
Oh Galahad, I want to be yours
I'll meet you out behind the oxen's shed
And recite thirteen poems running through my head
Somebody told me you were pure of blood and oxygen
That your good knife can cut through anything
But I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

You got a gold heart, I got a black one
Baby, I sting like a scorpion
So if you hear a rustle in the old oak trees
An ancient voice hymn humming, it's me
Rumor has it you're stronger than a hundred men
But it's my word against Tennyson's
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

You muse on joy that will not cease
Pure spaces clothed in living dreams
And lilies of eternal peace
And lilies of eternal peace
The lillies, the lillies

I'll get over it when the morning comes
By then you'll be slouching towards Avalon
Ride on, the prize is near
It's sitting right behind you singing in your ear
And still you're looking out into a cerulean sea
Where up above the gulls like grails are free
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

You're a white knight, I'm a dark horse
Oh Galahad, I want to be yours

Get Used To The Night

(Norah Jones & Nathaniel Rateliff / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I used to get around, you found one way
One to get around and one to get through
And I'll feel tonight, like so many lost days
I used to stay home and writhe in my bed
Wish I could retire, are you still hard-willed
I used to do cartwheels to land on my head

I used to know it all
But I can't remember much, man
I used to be a proud fucking fool
You run ahead and I'll catch up, man
Still so much left for me to do
Get used to the night

And this ain't your town
Going wrong down a one way
Yeah, I gotta hide myself from the storm
Don't know how long I will
You found some way
One to get around and one to get through

Used to do it all
But I ain't got the mind now
I just feel tied-up and used
Oh yeah, it could be said that I
Used to have something
I used to be you

Get used to the night
Get used to the night
Get used to the night
Get used to the night
 

Hangin' On A Limb

(Neil Young cover / Norah Jones & Jason Isbell / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Though the river flow
Gently to the sea
He was on the shore
Rooted like a tree

She was here and there
Riding on the waves
Through it all she heard his call
And gave it all she gave

And though their love was hanging on a limb
She taught him how to dance
And start again
And though their love was hanging on a limb
She taught him how to dance
She taught him how to dance

And when the melody
Through the window called
It echoed in the courtyard
And whispered in the halls
He played it through the night
She knew he had to go
There was something about freedom
He thought he didn't know

And though their love was hanging on a limb
She taught him how to dance
And start again
And though their love was hanging on a limb
She taught him how to dance
She taught him how to dance

Though the river flow
Gently to the sea
He was on the shore
Rooted like a tree

She was here and there
Riding on the waves
Through it all she heard his call
And gave it all she gave

And though their love was hanging on a limb
She taught him how to dance
She taught him how to dance

Having A Ball

(Norah Jones & Jesse Harris / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Is it too late
For me to call
I feel so weak
It hurts to fall
It hurts to fall
So can we talk
About it all

Wish that we were having
Wish that we were having a ball

You had to be
There, I suppose
It was a meme
It's just a joke
It's just a joke
But everything
Went up in smoke

Wish that we were having
Wish that we were having a ball

Just like we were yesterday
Isn't there something that I can say

I let you go
It's time to sleep
I lie awake
You're counting sheep
I'm counting sheep
Don't throw away
The things you keep

Wish that we were having
Wish that we were having a ball
Wish that we were having
Wish that we were having a ball
Wish that we were having
Wish that we were having a ball
Wish that we were having
Wish that we were having a ball

Heart Of The Matter

(Don Henley cover / Norah Jones & Mike Campbell / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
Some old friend of ours was talking on the phone
Said he found someone

And I thought of all the bad luck
The trouble we went through
And how I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more

I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
The more I learn, the less I understand
All the things I thought I'd figured out
I'm learning again

Been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But everything changes and
My friends seem to scatter
But I think it's about
Forgiveness, forgiveness
Even if, even if
You don't love me anymore

These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive
In such a graceless age

The trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
The very things we all kill, I guess
Pride and competition fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us
You know it doesn't keep me warm

I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I'd figured out
I'm learning again

Trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about
Forgiveness, forgiveness
Even if, even if
You don't love me anymore

Oh there are people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down, oh you know they hurt your pride
You better put it all behind you, baby, 'cause life goes on
You keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside, baby

Been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about
Forgiveness, forgiveness
Even if, even if
You don't love me

Trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about
Forgiveness, forgiveness
Even if, even if
You don't love me anymore

Heartache

(Suzy Bogguss cover / Norah Jones & Julian Lage / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Well, I'm here out of love, but I'm feeling no pain
But I know you, heartache, you'll stand in my way
There's no use in wishing, 'cause I ain't satisfied
I'm fed to be a misfit when you're at my side

Heartache, find another place to be
I'm tired of being your best friend
Look to another for your companion
'Cause when you do my heart, pain will end

Well, there's no way at all
Where I'm feeling no pain
My body is sickly and my mind is insane
I call on you, heartache, to come show me how
'Cause I can't get no lower than the hole I'm in now

Heartache, find another place to be
I'm tired of being your best friend
Look to another for your companion
And when you do, my pain will end

Heartache, find another place to be
I'm tired of being your best friend
Look to another for your companion
And when you do, my pain will end

Home

(Norah Jones & Bridget Everett / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

How many times did I hear them say
She's out of reach, drifted away
Another night staring at the wall
And if I try, I know I'll fall

All these hills closing in on me
There's nothing here I haven't seen
Lift me to my feet again
I've lost touch, I need a friend

You brought me home (home)
You brought me home (home)

My heart is beating through my chest
Why would anyone come clean this mess
The song in me fell out of view
I found it now because of you

You brought me home (home)
Yes, you brought me home (home)
And I am home
I am home

Hustlin'

(Norah Jones & The War And Treaty / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

One, two, three and

These looks don't lie
And those tears will dry
You know you want, what you can't have
We're not selling product you can't grab

So when the wolf howls at the moon
And the cock crows at the sun
We'll be hustling until the evening comes

Keep a candle burning bright
From the inside, let it shine
You know the fad fades away
Like night turns to day

So when the wolf howls at the moon
And the cock crows at the sun
We'll be hustling until the evening comes

Even when summer gets cold
And when the new becomes old
You know the fad fades away
Like night turns to day

So when the wolf howls at the moon
And the cock crows at the sun
We'll be hustling until the evening comes

I Couldn't Believe It Was True

(Eddy Arnold cover / Norah Jones & Margo Price / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

One, two, three

Last night I came home and I knocked on my door
I called to my love as I oft' had before
And I knocked and I knocked, no answer thee came
No kisses to greet me, no voice call my name

And I couldn't believe it was true, oh Lord
I couldn't believe it was true
And my eyes filled with tears
And I must've aged in years
And I couldn't believe it was true

My shock was so great, I was quivering yet
I tried to forgive, but I cannot forget
My heart breaking loss is another man's gain
But her happiness, I hope will remain

And I couldn't believe it was true, oh Lord
I couldn't believe it was true
And my eyes filled with tears
And I must've aged in years
And I couldn't believe it was true

And I couldn't believe it was true, oh Lord
I couldn't believe it was true
And my eyes filled with tears
And I must've aged in years
And I couldn't believe it was true

My eyes filled with tears
And I must've aged in years
And I couldn't believe it was true

I Might

(Norah Jones & Y La Bamba / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Something
Something ain't right
I know I can tell
Where you're not

I won't be ashamed
Darkness waits
Silence unknown
I'm still recovering

Wrap in my bones
All of my body
As my spirit
Wanders around

I'm curious what
Will be done now
I might give a damn

Patience may change
Like the rain in the summer
Two might not be the same

Candle corners
As my eyes face the night
Healing all the pain

Can't believe
It's been a year
Drove me away
To disappear

Nothing to prove or to take
What is life if we fake
I think I might give it a try
To breathe as deep as I can take
I might give a damn

And then the fairies came out of the sky

I Wish You Love

("Que Reste-t-il De Nos Amours" / Léo Chauliac & Charles Trenet cover /
Norah Jones & Rachael Yamagata / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss
But more than this
I wish you love

And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health
And more than wealth
I wish you love

My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best, my very best
I set you free

I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love

My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best, my very best
I set you free

I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love

But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love

I'm Not The Only One

(Norah Jones & Sam Smith / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

You and me, we made a vow
For better or for worse, yeah
And I can't believe you let me down
But the proof's in the way it hurts

For months on end I've had my doubts
Denying every tear
And I wish this would be over now
But I know that I still need you near

You say I'm crazy
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one

You've been so unavailable
Now sadly I know why
Your heart is unobtainable
Even though Lord knows you kept mine

You say I'm crazy
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one

And I have loved you for many years
Maybe I am just not enough
You've made me realize my deepest fears
By lying and tearing us up

You say I'm crazy
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one
And I know I'm not the only one
And I know I'm not the only one
And I know
And I know
And I know
And I know
And I know
And I know, know, know
I'm not the only one

I know, I know

I've Got To See You Again

(Norah Jones & Jesse Harris / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

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
Just to watch you be seen
I could almost go there
Just to live in a dream

But 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
I can't help myself
I've got to see you again

If We Were Vampires

(Norah Jones & Jason Isbell / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

It's not the long, flowing dress that you're in
Or the light coming off of your skin
The fragile heart you protected for so long
Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong

It's not your hands searching slow in the dark
Or your nails leaving love's watermark
It's not the way you talk me off the roof
Your questions like directions to the truth

It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we'll get forty years together
But one day I'll be gone
One day you'll be gone

If we were vampires and death was a joke
We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke
And laugh at all the lovers and their plans
I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand

But maybe time running out is a gift
So I'll work hard till the end of my shift
To give you every second I can find
And hope it isn't me who's left behind

Knowing that this can't go on forever
It's likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we'll get forty years together
But one day I'll be gone
One day you'll be gone

Knowing that this can't go on forever
It's likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we'll get forty years together
But one day I'll be gone
One day you'll be gone

If You Get A Broken Heart

(Norah Jones & Jesse Harris / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

If you get a broken heart
Lose your way or fall apart
There's no one that's going to help you
Get back on your feet again

When you're hurting deep inside
You do your best to try to hide it
But it's useless to disguise it
They all see beneath your skin

There's no need to let them know
And it's better if they go
You can plant a seed tomorrow
Watch the flowers as they grow

So if you get a broken heart
Lose your way and fall apart
Ask nobody else to help you
Get back on your feet again

In Love With A Memory

(Norah Jones & Sasami / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Take me back to the endless highway
Where we could talk all night alone till the light of day
These days I'm begging you to tell me what's on your mind

All I need is to know what you want from me
We can't go on just living in love with a memory
All of me is yours if you catch me as I go
If we only go backwards, then we'll never know

Take me back to the open road
Where the wind can blow in my hair
And the sun can kiss my face
I need to feel alive
All good things must come to an end
Don't cry, just come back to bed
Let me feel you one last time
Before we say goodnight

It doesn't take away from what we shared
That I need to go and be alone out there
I tried to do what I thought was right
Now I need to be where the air is wild
While I'm alive

Take me back to the open road
Where the wind can blow in my hair
And the sun can kiss my face
I need to feel alive
All good things must come to an end
Don't cry, just come back to bed
Let me feel you one last time
Before we say goodnight

Take me back to the open road
Where the wind can blow in my hair
And the sun can kiss my face
I need to feel alive
All good things must come to an end
Don't cry, just come back to bed
Let me feel you one last time
Before we say goodnight

Do you remember when we first met
No past, no pain or regret
Let's stay up all night long
Like we did when we were high
I'll never forget our love
Even if our time might be up
Let's go for one more drive and even if we die

That's all right
All right

It'll All Work Out

(Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers cover / Norah Jones & Sam Smith / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

He wore faded jeans and a soft black leather
He had eyes so blue, they looked like weather
When he needed me, I wasn't around
That's the way it goes, it'll all work out

There were times apart, there were times together
I was pledged to him for worse or better
When it mattered most, I let him down
That's the way it goes, it'll all work out

It'll all work out eventually
Better off with him than here with me

It'll all work out eventually
Better off with him than here with me

Now the wind is high and the rain is heavy
And the water's rising in the levee
Still I think of him when the sun goes down
It never goes away, but it all works out

It'll all work out eventually
Better off with him than here with me
It'll all work out eventually
Better off with him than here with me

Jimmy Giuffre Was

(Norah Jones & Richard Julian / Norah Is Playing Along Podcast)

Two, three and

We did it dirty
We did it sweet
And in the morning
Found somewhere to eat
Over pancakes
And scrambled eggs
You draped your feet across my legs
I draped my feet across your legs
It was so nice
To feel your touch

I didn't know you
Very well
I didn't know you
But anyone could tell
You have some secrets to protect
And some hang-ups to project
We all have hang-ups to project
It was so was nice
To feel your touch

And so we tried to make the conversation last
Politics, movies and jazz
I got lost up in my head the way I do
Where it occurred to me that maybe I was through
And maybe I was too

So I didn't know
Who Jimmy Giuffre was
That's alright
No one ever does
It would be false of us to blame it all on that
The heart is fickle like a cat
It was so nice
Sure was nice
Oh it sure was oh so nice
To feel your touch

Juna

(Clairo cover / Norah Jones & Sasami / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Come to me slowly
It's when you talk close enough
That I feel it on my skin
Breathe it in

Most of these days
(Most of these days)
I don't get too intimate
Why should I let you in
(Why should I let you in)
But I think again

I don't even try
I don't have to think
With you, there's no pretending
You know me
You know me

And I just might know you, too
Know me

Come to me ready
You make me wanna
Go dancing
(You make me wanna)
Try on feminine
You make me wanna
Go buy a new dress
You make me wanna
Slip off a new dress

Don't even try
I don't have to think
With you, there's no pretending
You know me
You know me

And I just might know you, too

Come to me slowly

Kalopsia

(Queens Of The Stone Age / Norah Jones & Josh Homme / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I never lie
To myself
Tonight

Rose-tinted eyes
Color my sorrow
A shade of wine

Bye bye, black balloon
I see you real soon
Wave bye-bye

Oh why you so sad
What have they done
Forget those mindless baboons
They're off playing God
Copycats in cheap suits
Are playing it safe
While cannibals of bad news
Consume a parade
Yeah

Is it wonderful
Kalopsia
Kalopsia
Yeah, kalopsia

Far, far from shore
The land of nightmares
Gone forever more
And I love you more
Than I can control
I don't even try
Why would I

Oh why the long face
You've got it all wrong
Forget the rat in the race
We'll choke chain them all
Fates favor the ones
Who help themselves
The rest feel the sting of the lash
As they row the boat to hell

Here we go

Kathy's Song

(Simon & Garfunkel cover / Norah Jones & Finneas / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls

And from the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
To England, where my heart lies

My mind's distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day

And a song I was writing is left undone
I don't know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can't believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme

And so you see, I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you

And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I

Leads Me Home

(Norah Jones & The War And Treaty / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Life's a journey
About getting by
Till you get to the
By and by
And meet your maker
Up in the big house in the sky

As you travel
To and fro
Sometimes you get lost
Trying to go
Back to a familiar place
Where you once strayed away from

Meet me on the other side of the railroad
Where the mountain peaks and crystal streams
Through the valleys flow
In your arms I find
The straight and narrow
On those country roads
You will always be
The one that leads me home

I remember
The hard times
When you found me
I had lost my mind
Forgot where I was going
Or better yet
Where I had come from

Meet me on the other side of the railroad
Where the mountain peaks and crystal streams
Through the valleys flows
In your arms I find
The straight and narrow
On those country roads
You will always be
The one that leads me home

Let It Go

(Norah Jones & James Bay / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

One, two, three, four

From walking home and talking loads
To seeing shows in evening clothes with you
From nervous touch and getting drunk
To staying up and waking up with you

And now we're sleeping at the edge
Holding something we don't need
All this delusion in our heads
Is gonna bring us to our knees

So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you
I'll be me
And I'll be me

From throwing clothes across the floor
To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you
If this is all we're living for
Why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore

I used to recognize myself
It's funny how reflections change
When we're becoming something else
I think it's time to walk away

So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
And I'll be me

Trying to fit your hand inside of mine
When we know it just don't belong
There's no force on Earth
Could make it feel right, no
Trying to push this problem up the hill
When it's just too heavy to hold
I think now's the time to let it slide

So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
And everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Let the ashes fall
Forget about me

Come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
And I'll be me, yeah

Life According To Raechel

(Norah Jones & Madison Cunningham / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Once your girl
I'm always your girl
When I'm here or when I'm there
Or on a plane headed somewhere

You were staring down the cars
Hoping it would be one of ours
Children and grandchildren writing you cards
But how long were you waiting for me
To make a left down your street

It's not if, darling, it's when
There's always something left unsaid
Were your eyes green, were they blue
What was it that I forgot to ask you

Busy hands, I'll set 'em down
To say I love you right out loud
I'll bet you're making heaven laugh
But it feels like tears and memories are all we have

Once I knew it
I was always a know-it-all
Too busy, too stressed out
To take your call

Thought I would always find you there
Sitting in your TV chair
While time is in a bar having a laugh somewhere
The nurse said you were waiting for me
To let go, to let it be

It's not if, darling, it's when
There's always something left unsaid
Were your eyes green, were they blue
What was it that I forgot to ask you

Busy hands, I'll set 'em down
To say I love you here and now
Did God need a new lead in his band
When this world and its people are all we have

Once your girl
I'm always your girl

Listen To Her Heart

(Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers cover / Norah Jones & Mike Campbell / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

You think you're gonna take her away
With your money and your cocaine
Keep thinking that her mind is gonna change
But I know everything is okay

She's gonna listen to her heart
It's gonna tell her what to do
She might need a lot of loving
But she don't need you

You want me to think that I'm being used
You want her to think it's over
Can't you see it doesn't matter what you do
Buddy, you don't even know her

She's gonna listen to her heart
It's gonna tell her what to do
She might need a lot of loving
But she don't need you

And you just can't creep up behind her
And you can't understand that she's my girl
She's my girl

He's gonna listen to her heart
He's gonna tell her what to do
She might need a lot of loving
But she don't need you

Make It Wit Chu

(Queens Of The Stone Age / Norah Jones & Josh Homme / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

You wanna know if I know why, I can't say that I do
Don't understand the evil eye or how one becomes two
And I just can't recall what started it all or how to begin in the end
And I ain't here to break it, just see how far it will bend
Again and again, again and again

I wanna make it
I wanna make it wit chu
Anytime, anywhere and I say, babe
I wanna make it
I wanna make it wit chu
Again and again

Sometimes the same is different, but mostly it's the same
These mysteries of life that just ain't my thing
If I told you that I knew about the sun and the moon, I'd be untrue, yeah
The only thing I know for sure what I want to do
Anytime, anywhere and I say, babe

I wanna make it
I wanna make it wit chu
Anytime, anywhere and I say, babe
I wanna make it
I wanna make it wit chu
Again and again, again and again, yeah
I wanna make it
(Anytime, anywhere)
I wanna make it wit chu
I wanna make it
I wanna make it wit chu

I wanna make it
I wanna make it wit chu
Anytime, anywhere and I say, babe
I wanna make it
I wanna make it wit chu
I wanna make it
(Anytime, anywhere)
I wanna make it wit chu
I wanna make it
I wanna make it wit chu
 

Mavis

(Norah Jones & Nathaniel Rateliff / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

In other worlds
In other worlds I would be with you
And other nights
And other nights I think I've seen you
Caught on a way
Caught on a way I do not own you

And you relax
Knowing the way I do
And I'd do it for you
And all that I've seen through
I'd do it for you
All again

In other times
You said your feet move so fast you couldn't see
Gone are the days
When you could start ahead and outrun me
And all the lights
And all the lights you say they're heavy now

I recall a time you were mine
And all the time you bared your teeth
It was always just a smile to me

I recall a time you were mine
And all the time you bared your teeth
It was always just a smile to me

More Than A Love Song

(Norah Jones & Black Pumas / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Right on, baby
Right on, Norah

You see the two black birds flying
Flying high just to be together
When we face the music
It might help you to the other side of a great divide
Let's fly together
I've asked the grandmaster
I've asked why
I feel so hard sometimes
You said to used the music, sweet soul music
Sweet soul music to reignite your soul
Divine to reignite your soul

'Cause life is more, more than a love song
It's more than a fantasy, more than a little bit
This life is more than a dream
More than a fantasy, more than a little bit
So take your time, be realigned and fly
We ought to fly, let's fly together

I hear the two blues birds, they sing a song
My respects to the grandmaster
For the lines, such a pretty thing
How the melody abides
Yes, life is more, it's more than a love song
It's more than a fantasy, more than a little bit
This life is more, more than a dream
It's more than a fantasy
More than a little bit

Yes, life is more, it's more than a love song
It's more than a fantasy, more than a little bit
I'm through the door now, I see the sun shining
Way more, babe, it's more than a little bit

(Life, life, life...)
So let's hold hands and walk through that door
Your little life is so much more
More than pretty things of sting and melodies
What life is more, way more, way more, baby
Let us fly

Why, when the thunder sounds
We see the lightning almost touch the ground
I hear my inner voice sing sometimes
Let's fly together, fly together

Sometimes you lose your mind
You just grab your sister's hand
And, I know, got to fly, fly together

Ok, now, repeat after me
Blues babies
Blues babies
Fly together, fly together, let's fly together...

Morning And Allison

(Norah Jones & Nate Smith / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Sunday morning, she says to rise
Waking up slowly
Open window, sun in my eyes
Feeling the wind blow

My tree-lined universe
Me at the center
A humble, innocent star

What the day brings
Let it surprise
Time to run outdoors

Searching the faces
Exploring the changes
My morning on Allison
Come free

Sunday morning, she says to rise

Searching the faces
Exploring the changes
My morning on Allison

My Full Name

(Norah Jones & Madison Cunningham / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I love it when you say my full name
And the way you always speak your mind
When the needle finally finds the vein
And all your little sayings become mine
Your brother only shares your family shame
But he doesn't really know you

I've been spinning out
On too many big words You could do without
And everything we dare not say out loud
Are written on our faces

There's a water leak the size of Berlin
Coming from this vessel that we're in
Running from my eyes to your chin
Love's a kind of sorrow worth saving
When a part of me went missing
A case was never opened

I've been keeping count
Of all the wildflowers
Where the plane went down
And every living soul that's never found
Are written in these verses, verses

I'm finding out that I'm allergic to
Every living thing that isn't you
As I say it now, I know it's true

I don't want to leave this town
But you know very well I can't wait around
But since it's getting too late to change it now
Might as well embrace it

I love it when you say my full name

Nightflyer

(Norah Jones & Allison Russell / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Yeah, I'm a midnight rider
Stone bona fide night flyer
I'm an angel of the morning, too
Promise that the dawn will bring you

I'm the melody and the space between
Every note the swallow sings
I'm fourteen vultures circling

The fire and the branch that's burning, Lord
Maybe you were sleeping, Lord
But Mary, she's not weeping no more, no

Stone bona fide night flyer
I'm an angel of the morning, too
Promise that the dawn will bring you
You, you

I'm the sick light of a hurricane's eye
I'm a violent lullaby
I'm six fireflies, one streetlight
A suffocating summer night

I'm each of his steps on the stairway
His shadow in the door frame
I'm the tap-tap of a lunar moth
I'm the stale beer on his breath

Bu his soul is trapped in that room
And I crawled back in my mother's womb
I came back out with my gold and my greens
Now I see everything
Now I feel everything, Good Lord
What the hell could they bring to stop me, Lord
Nothing from the earth, nothing from the sea
Not a God Almighty thing

Yeah, I'm a midnight rider
Stone bona fide night flyer

The one who can't be counted out
I'm the dove thrown into battle
I can roll and shake and rattle

The child of the earth, the child of the air
I am The mother of the evening star
I am the love that conquers all

I'm an angel of the morning, too
Promise that the dawn will bring you

Yeah, I'm a midnight rider
Stone bona fide night flyer
I'm an angel of the morning, too
Promise that the dawn will bring you
You, you

No One Noticed

(The Marías / Norah Jones & María Zardoya / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Maybe I
Lost my mind
No one noticed
No one noticed

It's getting old (I'd kinda like it if you'd call me)
All alone ('cause I'm so over being lonely)
May have lost it (I need a virtual connection)
I have lost it (be my video obsession)

No one tried
To read my eyes
No one but you
Wish it were true

Maybe I (I'd kinda like it if you'd call me)
It's not right ('cause I'm so over being lonely)
Make you mine (I need a virtual connection)
Take our time (be my video obsession)

Come on, don't leave me, it can't be that easy, babe
If you believe me, I guess I'll get on a plane
Fly to your city, excited to see your face
Hold me, console me and then I'll leave without a trace

Come on, don't leave me, it can't be that easy, babe
If you believe me, I guess I'll get on a plane
Fly to your city, excited to see your face

Come on, don't leave me, it can't be that easy, babe (it's not right)
If you believe me, I guess I'll get on a plane (make you mine)

Hold me, console me and then I'll leave without a trace

Call me
'Cause I'm so over being lonely
I need a virtual connection
Please, be my video obsession

Estás tan dentro de mí
Te sigo pensando
Te sigo esperando

Y estás tan lejos de mí
Te sigo pensando
Me canso llorando

Not Dark Yet

(Bob Dylan cover / Norah Jones & Aoife O'Donovan / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Shadows are falling and I've been here all day
It's too hot to sleep, time is running away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
There's not even room enough to be anywhere
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well, my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing, there's been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writing what was in her mind
I just don't see why I should even care
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well, I've been to London and I've been to gay Paree
I've followed the river until I got to the sea
I've been down on the bottom, a world full of lies
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
But sometimes my burden is more than I can bear
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

I was born here and I'll die here against my will
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
Every nerve in my body is so vacant and so numb
I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
I don't even hear a murmur of a prayer
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Nowhere Is Where

(Norah Jones & Margo Price / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Nowhere is where I come from
Where nothing grows but the debt you owe
And the dry rivers run
And the dry rivers run

Nowhere is where in 1999
I was speeding down that gravel road
Past the Mercer county line
Past the Mercer county line

On your way down, won't you pick me up
If there's room enough and you've got gas in the truck
If you're going nowhere, I could use a ride
Point the headlights south and drive

Nowhere is where thoughts go to roam
Between the combine clouds and the waves of doubt
And the miles and miles of corn
And the miles and miles of corn

On your way down, won't you pick me up
If there's room enough and you've got gas in the truck
If you're going nowhere, I could use a ride
Just point the headlights south and

Turn the radio on
We'll be good as gone
When the sun comes up
Till the highway stops
And the wheels fall off
And the engine rusts
Till the pavement burns
And tomorrow turns
Into a blaze of glory
I've got no regrets
Light a cigarette
Rewrite the story

On your way down, won't you pick me up
If there's room enough and you've got gas in the truck
If you're going nowhere, I could use a ride
Point the headlights south and drive

Ocean Eyes

(Billie Eilish / Norah Jones & Finneas / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I've been watching you for some time
Can't stop staring at those ocean eyes
Burning cities and napalm skies
Fifteen flares inside your ocean eyes

No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you give me those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes

I've been walking through a world gone blind
Can't stop thinking of your diamond mind
Careful creature made friends with time
He left her lonely with a diamond mind
And those ocean eyes

No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you give me those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes

No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you give me those ocean eyes
And I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes

One World

(John Martyn cover / Norah Jones, Pino Palladino & Blake Mills / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Some of us live like princess
And some of us live like queens
Most of us live just like me
We don't know what it means
To take our place in one world
To make our peace in one world
To make our way in one world
To have our say in one world

If you ain't got two words to say
Then I can't talk to you
No use crying, there's been no crime
I say it's just the way the wind blows
Just the name of the game
The way of the world
The way of the world
That's just the way of the world
Just the way of the world

So cold and lonely
Cold and lonely
Cold and lonely
It's so cold and lonely world

Cold and lonely
Cold and lonely
It's just a cold and lonely world

One world, believe it or not
One world, believe it or not
One world

Some of us live like princess
And some of us live like queens
Most of us just live like me
And we don't know what it means
To make our place in the world
Take our place in one world
Make our love in one world
Make our way in one world

Only Human

(Norah Jones & Sarah McLachlan / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Intruder comes, it's four a.m.
The witching hour's back again and I
I'm running ragged through the maze
I know the heart's a tricky beast
Like some cool ephemeral spirit of the night
Lures you in, robs you blind
And leaves you bleeding on the street

When all you want is arms around you
And a whisper in your ear
Saying everything's gonna be alright
Even if it's not

Because you're only human
You can only take so much before you break
And you feel like you're drowning alone
And the waves keep on coming and hold you down
And the circle goes round and round and round
And you can't breathe
But there's light that you cannot see

I know these rooms, these prison halls
I've stumbled through so many times before
To find the devil lurking just behind the door
I don't pretend to understand
The roads you've walked, how you still stand, but I
I want to try to lift some of the burdens that you bear

When all you want is arms around you
And a whisper in your ear
Saying everything's gonna be alright
Even if it's not

'Cause you're only human
You can only take so much before you break
And it feels like you're drowning alone
And the waves keep on coming and hold you down
And the circle goes round and round and round
'Til you can't breathe
But there's light that you cannot see
Yeah, there's light you cannot see

Ordinary People

(Norah Jones & John Legend / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Girl, I'm in love with you
But this ain't the honeymoon
Past the infatuation phase
Right in the thick of love
At times we get sick of love
It seems like we argue everyday

I know I misbehaved
And you made your mistakes
And we both still got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first
And we'll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
'Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow
Take it slow
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow
This time we'll take it slow

This ain't a movie, no
No fairy tale conclusion, y'all
It gets more confusing everyday
Sometimes it's heaven sent
Then we head back to hell again
Then we kiss, then we make up on the way

I hang up, you call
We rise and we fall
And we feel like just walking away
But as our love advances
We take second chances
Though it's not a fantasy
I still want you to stay

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
'Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
'Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow
Take it slow
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow, slow
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow
This time we'll take it slow

[Bridge played later on:]
Maybe we'll live and learn
Maybe we'll crash and burn
Maybe you'll stay
Maybe you'll leave
Maybe you'll return
Maybe another fight
Maybe we won't survive
Maybe we'll grow
We'll never know
Baby, you and I

Paper Flower

(Norah Jones & Jesse Harris / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

If you give a paper flower
Better say it's from the heart
Flowers all fall apart
And rot over time

I would take a paper flower
If you tell me that it's real
All I need is to feel
A push from behind

It's funny how illusion
Soon becomes the truth
You can't deny the fact
In spite of this old confusion

I don't want a paper flower
Touch it to a match it burns
When will I ever learn
How to read the signs

It's funny how illusion
Soon becomes the truth
You can't deny the fact
In spite of this old confusion

I don't want a paper flower
Touch it to a match it burns
When will I ever learn
How to read the signs
This paper flower's mine

Phoenix

(Norah Jones & Aoife O'Donovan / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Time's not the villain
Coming up behind you is a marigold sun
Love if you're willing, take a little more time

I smell fire
It's coming from the flames that are dancing on my wings
I'm a bird on a wire
Killing time

Fever's got me shaking
It rises up like a road to meet
The fever's got me quaking
Like San Andreas' fault

Put a cloth to my brow
I'll soar like a phoenix from the ashes
Put a pretty blanket down
I'm ready now

Looking for forgiveness
Looking in every cupboard, in every room
I'm bearing witness
To the passing time

But the clock is ticking
Like an old man singing at the top of his lungs
And the light is flickering
We're running out
We're running out

Fever's got me shaking
It rises up like a road to meet
The fever's got me quaking
Like San Andreas' fault

Put a cloth to my brow
I'll soar like a phoenix from the ashes
Put a pretty blanket down
I'm ready now

Everybody's looking for somebody to blame
The stages of sadness, how many can you name
I stopped at anger, never felt the same

They say it'll fade my scars
My tears will dry, I'll lie under
The stars again, not wondering where you are
Where you are
Where you are
Where you are
Where you are
Where you are

Fever's got me shaking
It rises up like a road to meet
The fever's got me quaking
Like San Andreas' fault

Put a cloth to my brow
I'll soar like a phoenix from the ashes
Put a pretty blanket down
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now

Pink Pony Club

(Chappell Roan cover / Norah Jones & Lang Lang / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I know you wanted me to stay
But I can't ignore the crazy visions of me in L.A.
And I heard that there's a special place
Where boys and girls can all be queens every single day

I'm having wicked dreams of leaving Tennessee
Hear Santa Monica, I swear it's calling me
Won't make my mama proud, it's gonna cause a scene
She sees her baby girl, I know she's gonna scream

God, what have you done
You're a pink pony girl
And you dance at the club, oh mama
I'm just having fun
On the stage in my heels
It's where I belong down at the

Pink Pony Club, I'm gonna keep on dancing at the
Pink Pony Club, I'm gonna keep on dancing down in
West Hollywood, I'm gonna keep on dancing at the
Pink Pony Club, Pink Pony Club

I'm up and jaws are on the floor
Lovers in the bathroom and a line outside the door
Blacklights and a mirrored disco ball
Each night, another reason why I left it all

I thank my wicked dreams, a year from Tennessee
Oh Santa Monica, you've been too good to me
Won't make my mama proud, it's gonna cause a scene
She sees her baby girl, I know she's gonna scream

God, what have you done
You're a pink pony girl
And you dance at the club, now Mama
I'm just having fun
On the stage in my heels
It's where I belong down at the

Pink Pony Club, I'm gonna keep on dancing at the
Pink Pony Club, I'm gonna keep on dancing down in
West Hollywood, I'm gonna keep on dancing at the
Pink Pony Club, Pink Pony Club

Don't think I've left you all behind
Still love you and Tennessee
You're always on my mind
And mama, every Saturday
I can hear your southern drawl
A thousand miles away, saying

God, what have you done
You're a pink pony girl
And you dance at the club, now mama
I'm just having fun
On the stage in my heels
It's where I belong down at the

Pink Pony Club, I'm gonna keep on dancing at the
Pink Pony Club, I'm gonna keep on dancing down in
West Hollywood, I'm gonna keep on dancing at the
Pink Pony Club, Pink Pony Club

I'm gonna keep on dancing at the Pink Pony Club
I'm gonna keep on dancing down in West Hollywood
I'm gonna keep on dancing at the Pink Pony Club
Pink Pony Club

I'm gonna keep on dancing
I'm gonna keep on dancing at the Pink Pony Club
Pink Pony Club

Play Me

(Neil Diamond cover / Norah Jones & Josh Groban / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

She was morning and I was night time
I one day woke up to find her lying beside my bed
I softly said, "Come take me"
For I've been lonely in need of someone
As though I'd done someone wrong somewhere
But I don't know where
I don't know where come lately

You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me

Song she sang to me
Song she brang to me
Words that rang in me
Rhyme that sprang from me
Warmed the night
And what was right
Became me

You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me

And so it was that I came to travel
Upon a road that was thorned and narrow
Another place, another grace would save me

You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me

Sienna

(The Marías / Norah Jones & María Zardoya / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Please, tell me not to go
We've been here long before
I live under your eyelids
I'll always be yours

I'll lay on your rooftop
In the freezing cold
And I'll watch the sunset
Wearing all your clothes
I can feel you with me
Like I did before
Like when I sang you a love song
By Norah Jones

Sienna
Would've been cute
Sienna
Would look just like you

I came clean
And it feels so good
But I feel seen
Only through you

I'll wait here tomorrow
Outside your door
Like I did in December
When you held me close
Coming up on your corner
Pulling out my hair
Hear the creak in the floorboards
Going up the stairs

Sienna
Would've been cute
Sienna
Would look just like you

With a temper like you
Run around like you
Jumping in the pool
Like you
Sing to all her pets
In the way I did
Be sensitive
Like you

And I smile when I think of
All the times we had
On the beach in the winter
When the waves were mad
Down by the water
Crystal clear
See her face in the forest
Then it disappears

Sinkin' Soon (Freestyle Version)

(Norah Jones & Harry Mack / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

We're gonna be sinking soon
We're gonna be sinking soon
So everybody hold your breath
'Cause we're gonna be sinking soon

Yeah, we gonna sinking soon
They better be making room
As in now we gon' float on top, yeah
When he be rhyming
Y'all know we sitting the spot
I'm coming through with the vision
Open your air time to listen, yeah
When I be spitting a-right off at the top
Do my rounds of precision
How we know we making it happen
Never be slacking, taking the action
When I be rhyming off the top
I'm causing the chain reaction
Ready to hit it
They love it the way that I spit it
I lift off the ground
I'mma define all the laws of physics
When I'm spitting something too profound
They didn't know we were priers
Spitting the fire, they know it now
We're about to make it happen
Someway and somehow
Gonna be sinking soon
We're trying to keep the flow
Norah Jones and Hary Mack
We reinstate in the hope

We're gonna be sinking soon

So everybody hold your breath
And down, down, down we go

Yeah, listen, yeah

Unless we can channel the laugh
Unless we can find a way
To finally rise up above
Everyone stopping to judge
Nobody knowing what's real
Nobody taking the time
Nobody knowing the deal
Time for some conversation
Time for some people to listen
Time for us all to come together
We gotta bond over vision
We gotta find a way to stop the crash and stop the collision, yeah
When I be rhyming, I go in your brain like a mental incision
No more division, when I be rapping, I'm bringing the people together
Just like we do with collaboration
Forming a bunch of its weather
Hoping the L-O-V-E-D channel
The kind that's lasted forever
We gonna sink soon unless we can overcome it
I know we feel the fear in times
It's too much to stomach
I don't want to see us plummet to the bottom
So we do like Mack and Norah Jones and keep it locked
And come on

We're gonna be sinking soon
We're gonna be sinking soon
So everybody hold your breath
'Cause we're gonna be sinking soon

So Easy

(Norah Jones & Arooj Aftab / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

We're outside on a summer night
It's just us for a little while
And it's easy, but not enough

There's a little corner in your smile
That will stay with me for quite a while
So easily, but it's not enough

If this is love, I'll take it
It's a quiet one, a simple one
Just us for a little while, but not enough

Outside on a summer night
It's just us for a little while
So easy, but not enough

Your eyes are catching street lights
I'm in awe and I'm a little surprised
And I don't know where home is anymore

If this is love, I'll take it
It's a quiet one, a simple one
Just us for a little while, but not enough
 

Softly And Tenderly

(Norah Jones, Ron Carter & Bill Frisell / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Softly and tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me

Patiently waiting
Jesus is watching
Watching for you and for me

Come home
Come home
You who are weary
Come home

Earnestly, tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling all sinners
Come home

Come home
Come home
You who are weary
Come home

Earnestly, tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling all sinners
Come home
Calling all sinners
Come home
Calling all sinners
Come home
 

Somethin' Stupid

(Frank & Nancy Sinatra cover / Norah Jones & Josh Homme / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I know I stand in line
Until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go some place to dance
I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me
Oh yeah

Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I, and then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid like "I love you"

I can see it in your eyes
That you despise the same old lies
You heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you
What really is true
I never felt so right before
Yeah, I felt this good

I practice every day
To find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come true
Then I think I'll wait
Until the evening gets late
And I'm alone with you

The time is right, your perfume fills my head
The stars get red and oh the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid like I love you
Yeah

The time is right, your perfume fills my head
The stars get red and oh the night's so blue
And then I, and then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid like I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

Song Of The Highest Tower

(Norah Jones & Max Clarke a.k.a. Cut Worms / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I've been patient too long
My memory's dead
All fears and all wrongs
To the heavens have fled

With a fierce buzzing rise
While all my pain's burst
Oh come the filthy flies
And their sickly thirst

Oh may it come the time of love
Oh the time we would be enamored of
I've waited for too long
Lord and I've done nothing wrong
Please, don't feel bad
But be free

Many days I've spent
Many times I've tried
To give a name to the thing that ails you
Though know I haven't the right

And all the reasons I've built up
All advice that I gave
Drifted on like so many floats
It's a senseless parade

Oh may it come the time of love
Oh the time we would be enamored of
I've waited for too long
Lord and I've done nothing wrong
Please, don't feel bad
But be free

All this misplaced affection
Is 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
Oh the time we would be enamored of
I've waited for too long
Lord and I've done nothing wrong
Please, don't feel bad
But be free

All the feeling that has gone
All the sense that has left
Taken leave and gone abroad
To 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 it
No one to blame

Oh may it come the time of love
Oh the time we would be enamored of
I've waited for too long
Lord and I've done nothing wrong
Please, don't feel bad
But be free

South Of Here

(Norah Jones & Nathaniel Rateliff / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

One, two, three, four

In the corner where I've been
As I wander up the road
See I'm lost, but not abandoned
Well, it's hard for one to know
You just find the wind and float
But if I can't take it no more

Then I would have to move away
Maybe south of here they'd let us be
And I would have to just move on
And maybe go back home, remember who I was

In the corners that I've been in
Seems I've found no other way
Be the only one left standing
When everyone else is home

Well, you can't hate
The work that you love
And if it breaks
How did you know
And do I hang in the balance

And I would have to move away
Maybe south of here they'd let us be
And I would have to just move on
And maybe go back home, remember who I was
I wake and rub my head

Where have I been
Where have I been
Where have I been
Where have I been

Maybe south of here they'll let us be

Speed Limit

(Norah Jones & James Bay / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I broke the speed limit to get to you
I took a road where there was no road
Lost my keys and common sense
Jumped the gun to jump the fence
Just to find you gone

I turned the lights off in the kitchen
I took the needle off the groove
Dropped the roses in the sink
Woke up cold and on the brink
Just to find you gone

Nobody told us
This weight on our shoulders
Would keep us apart
From the morning through the dark
If love is a door
That we walk through together
Then how come we can't find the key

I broke the speed limit to get to you
I cut a valley through the rain
Held a vigil at the bar
Little candle in a jar
Just to find you gone

Nobody told us
This weight on our shoulders
Would keep us apart
From the morning through the dark
If love is a door
That we walk through together
Then how come we can't find the key

Nobody told us
This weight on our shoulders
Would keep us apart
From the morning through the dark
If love is a door
That we walk through together
Then how come we can't find the key

I broke the speed limit to get to you
I took a road where there was no road, yeah
Now we don't ever get it right
Couple sailboats in the night
Drifting all alone
All the places that we went
I went back to them again
Just find you gone

Stained Glass

(Norah Jones & Richard Julian / Norah Is Playing Along Podcast)

The light through stained glass
Cast ruby red
Across the sheets
Of the poster bed

And it shone on me
And it shone on you
Time passed by
And the memory grew

I hope we get to do it again
Do it, do it, do it again
I hope we get to do it again

The light through stained glass
Cast a sapphire blue
You made threats
And then you followed through

We came, we conquered
Yes and we saw
You're so corrupt
Acting above the law

I hope we get to do it again
Do it, do it, do it again
I hope we get to do it again
Do it, do it, do it again
I hope we get to do it again

Maybe you find yourself
Feeling the same, the same about me
Hope we get to do it
Do it, do it
Or maybe you found somebody
Somebody else
Someone who knows how you take your tea
Tell me, baby, how do you take your tea

I hope we get to do it again
Tell me how do you take your tea
I hope we get to do it again
Tell me how do you take your tea
I hope we get to do it again
Honey, with honey, lemon sugar
Baby, you colorized my mind
Honey, how do you take your tea
Don't we get to do it just one more time
Honey, honey, lemon sugar
I hope we get to do it again

Subside

(Norah Jones & Alessia Cara / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

That's what they say
Time's just pocket change
That I'm wasting away
Grieving what's still alive
And fighting with an ache that won't subside

Nothing good ever lasts
The girl I was never came back
Staying up, falling off track
So much I wish I knew
Flew too close to the sun
Who I was, she was made up
Threw a punch, had to take one

That's what they say
Time's just pocket change
That I'm wasting away
Grieving what's still alive
And fighting with an ache that won't subside

Is it already over
Sidewalk scraping our knees
Going halves on a tangerine
Want to know why
Everything worth holding
Turns to a blur in the distance
That's why I'm clenching my fists

I know all of this is what it is
You don't get the same day twice
Still every night
There's something that won't heal
Don't feel right

Nothing good ever lasts
The girl I was never came back
Staying up, falling off track
So much I wish I knew
Flew too close to the sun
Who I was, she was made up
Threw a punch, had to take one

That's what they say
Time's just pocket change
That I'm wasting away
Grieving what's still alive
And fighting with an ache that won't subside

All of this is what it is
You don't get the same day twice
Still every night
There's something that won't heal
Don't feel right

Good ever lasts
The girl I was never came back
Staying up, falling off track
So much I wish I knew
Flew too close to the sun
Who I was, she was made up
Threw a punch, had to take one

That's what they say
Time's just pocket change
That I'm wasting away
Grieving what's still alive
And fighting with an ache that won't subside

Superlover

(Birds Of Chicago cover / Norah Jones & Allison Russell / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Tears of rage, tears of grief
Palestine, Israel to Tennessee
We need a superlove
Need a superlover

Double Dutch and hula hoops
All our fears in loops and loops
We need a superlove
Are you a superlover

The night, so cold
Who among us dreams the dawn
Who dreamt us and oh where have they gone
Who keeps a candle lit for their return
Who could count the flowers in your heart

Please, let me die before my child
Prayed every mother far and wide
That's a superlove
I'm a superlover

You can hear it near and far
It fades the moon and blinds the stars
That's a superlove
We are superlovers

The night, so cold
(The night, so cold)
Who among us dreams the dawn
Who dreamt us and oh where have they gone
Who keeps a candle lit for their return
Who could count the flowers in your heart

Believe what you will
Believe they're gonna tell you
It's naive to be a superlover
But we are superlovers

There's no God of fire and blood
If there's a God, then God is love
We need a superlove
We can be superlovers

The night, so cold
Who among us dreams the dawn
Who dreamt us and oh where have they gone
Who keeps a candle lit for their return
Who could count the flowers in your heart

Tears of rage, tears of grief
Palestine, Israel to Tennessee
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Sudan, Congo to Haiti
Tears of rage, tears of grief
You came to bed to D.C.
We need a superlove
We can be superlovers

Sweet, Sweet Spirit

(Norah Jones, Ron Carter & Bill Frisell / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

There's a sweet, sweet spirit in this place
And I know that it's the spirit of the Lord
There's a sweet expression on each face
And I know they feel the presence of the Lord

Sweet holy spirit
Sweet heavenly dove
Stay right here with us
Filling us
Filling us with your love

And for His blessings
We lift our hearts in praise
Without a doubt, we know
We have been revived
When we shall leave this place
When we shall leave this place

Sweet holy spirit
Sweet heavenly dove
Stay right here with us
Filling us
Filling us with your love

And for His blessings
We lift our hearts in praise
Without a doubt, we know
That we have been revived
When we shall leave this place
When we shall leave this place

Take It Easy

(Eagles cover / Norah Jones & James Bay / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Well, I'm running down the road trying to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that wanna own me, two that wanna stone me
One says she's a friend of mine

Take it easy
Take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy

Well, I'm standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
And such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford
Slowing down to take a look at me

Come on, baby
Don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win
Though we will never be here again
So open up, I'm climbing in
And take it easy

Well, I'm running down the road trying to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Looking for a lover who won't blow my cover
She's so hard to find

Take it easy
Take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy
Come on, baby
Don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me

Oh you gotta take it easy
You gotta take it easy
You gotta take it easy

The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan

(Marianne Faithfull cover / Norah Jones & St. Vincent / Live at SXSW Festival, 2026 / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

The morning sun touched lightly on
The eyes of Lucy Jordan
In a white suburban bedroom
In a white suburban town

As she lay there 'neath the covers
Dreaming of a thousand lovers
Till the world turned to orange
And the room went spinning round

At the age of thirty-seven
She realised she'd never ride
Through Paris in a sports car
With the warm wind in her hair

So she let the phone keep ringing
And she sat there softly singing
Little nursery rhymes she'd memorised
In her daddy's easy chair

Her husband, he's off to work
And the kids are off to school
And there were oh so many ways
For her to spend the day

She could clean the house for hours
Or rearrange the flowers
Or run naked through the shady street
Screaming all the way

At the age of thirty-seven
She realised she'd never ride
Through Paris in a sports car
With the warm wind in her hair

So she let the phone keep ringing
As she sat there softly singing
Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorised
In her daddy's easy chair

The evening sun touched gently on
The eyes of Lucy Jordan
On the rooftop where she climbed
When all the laughter got too loud

And she bowed and curtsied to the man
Who reached and offered her his hand
And he led her down to the long white car
That waited past the crowd

At the age of thirty-seven
She knew she'd found forever
As she rode along through Paris
With the warm wind in her hair

The Extra Layer

(Norah Jones & Richard Julian / Norah Is Playing Along Podcast)

My mama done told me
When I was just a pup
Boy, get back inside that house
And bundle up
I cover up your neck
I cover up your big head, too
And bring an extra layer
My mama told me
And bring an extra layer
(And bring an extra layer)
Bring an extra layer
You don't know what the weather's going to do

My papa done told me
Later in my prime
As he was looking up and down
My Funny Valentine
I give you 'til the count of one
For she kill you dead
I better bring an extra layer
Papa done told me
And bring an extra layer
(And bring an extra layer)
Bring an extra layer
And don't forget the thing that mama said

And bring the extra layer
Bring the extra layer
The layer, the layer
Bring the extra layer

We're living in a movie
That y'all seen before
And here come the scene
With a body on the floor
Son, you never listen
It's just the way you be
Oh did you bring the extra layer
Mama done told me
Oh did you bring the extra layer
(Did you bring the extra layer)
No, no, (no) you didn't
That's what we call a fait accompli

And bring the extra layer
Bring the extra layer
The layer, the layer
Bring the extra layer

And bring the extra layer
Bring the extra layer
The layer, the layer
Bring the extra layer

Mama done told you
To bring the extra layer
Bring it

The Makings Of You

(Curtis Mayfield cover / Norah Jones & Jason Moran / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

A little sugar, honey suckle lamb
A great big expression of happiness
Boy, you couldn't miss with a dozen roses
Such would astound you
The joy of children laughing around you
These are the makings of you
Is it true the makings of you

The righteous way to go
Little one would know
Or believe if I told them so
You're second to none

The love of all mankind
Should reflect some sign
Of these words I've tried to recite
They are close, but not quite
Almost impossible to do
Reciting the makings of you

The righteous way to go
Little one would know
Or believe if I told them so
You're second to none

The love of all mankind
Should reflect some sign
Of these words I've tried to recite
They are close, but not quite
Almost impossible to do
Reciting the makings of you
 

The Me That Remains

(Norah Jones & Amy Grant / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Coming out of the dark
Coming out of this cave
It's taken me months of days and years
To find my way
My face in the mirror
Doesn't look the same
But I recognize
A light in my eyes
That never did fade
And I'm gonna find
Yeah, find and revive
The me that remains

Life cut me wide open
When my head hit the ground
It wasn't my time for dying
Guess my soul just stuck around
And out of this wreckage
I'm beginning to claim
The gifts in the healing
And the me that remains

Coming out of the dark
Stepping into the day
It's taken me months of days and years
Finding my way
When I look in the mirror
So much has changed
But I recognize
A light in my eyes
That never did fade
And I'm gonna find
Yeah, find and revive
The me that remains

I barely can remember
Looking for a change
A whole lot of a little too much
Was always in my way
And whatever angels
Happened to draw my name
I hope they see how proud I am to be
The me that remains

Coming out of the dark
Coming out of this grave
It's taken me months of days and years
Still finding my way
My smile in the mirror
Is enough for today
Reflecting the light
Deep down inside
That never will fade
And I'm gonna try
And always be kind
To the me that remains
To the me that remains

The Melting Of The Sun

(Norah Jones & St. Vincent / Live at SXSW Festival, 2026 / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

So sorry, missed the party
Hello on the dark side of the moon
Jane lost it, crashed her corvette
Ran into the tide in Malibu
And we all heard the gun
But I was slow to run

It's just the melting of the sun
It's just the sun
I wanna watch you watch it burn
So watch it burn

Saint Joni ain't no phony
Smoking reds where Furry sang the blues
My Marilyn shot her heroin
Hell, she said it's better than abuse
So who am I trying to be
A benzo beauty queen

It's just the melting of the sun
It's just the sun
I wanna watch you watch it burn
So watch it burn
We always knew this day would come
This day has come
It's just the melting of the sun

Brave Tori told her story
Police said they couldn't catch the man
Proud Nina got subpoenaed
Singing "Mississippi Good Goddamn"
But me, I never cried
To tell the truth, I lied

Girl, the world's spinning round
Spinning down and out of time
Girl, you can't give in now
When you're down, down and out

Girl, the world's spinning round
Spinning down and out of time
Girl, you can't give in now
When you're down, down and out

Girl, the world's spinning round
Spinning down, out of time

Girl, the world's spinning round
Spinning down, out of time
Girl, you can't give in now
When you're down, down and out

Girl, the world's spinning round
Spinning down, out of time
Girl, you can't give in now
When you're down, down and out

The Climb

(Miley Cyrus cover / Norah Jones & Bridget Everett / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Hit the track, Norah

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
You'll never reach it

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I
I'm gonna keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high
What, tell me why

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes you're gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
These chances I'm taking
Well, sometimes might knock me down, but
No, I'm not breaking

And I may not know it
But these are the moments
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

But I
I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on, yeah

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes you're gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes you're gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
It's the climb

The Elephant

(Norah Jones & James Bay / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

One, two, three, four

I run away, I run away to get my heavenly fix
A little truth, a little lie, I get the perfect mix
Call up a shrink, a medium, I need an exorcist
I'm letting out, I'm letting in, I'm working through some shit

I don't want to feel this weight
Crushing me like I'm not delicate
This is my revenant
Time to stare it dead in the face
There's no other way around it

I can run from it, but I can't hide
Seen the elephant from every side
Now I'm standing on the cold quayside
Screaming elegiеs into the night
Screaming, save mе from the wreck I am
Pull me under, pull me up again
I'm so done believing, I've been living in sin

Let the light back in
Let the light back
Let the light back in
Let the light back
Let the light back in

A little faith, a little faith, a little courage now
Up on the wing, up on a wave, onto another town
It's going to feel a little strange and then a lot somehow
But if I'm learning anything, I gotta not back down

I've been terrified to change my fate
Took an emotional holiday from all this disarray
Time to stare it dead in the face
There's no other way around it

I can run from it, but I can't hide
Seen the elephant from every side
Now I'm standing on the cold quayside
Screaming elegies into the night
Screaming, save me from the wreck I am
Pull me under, pull me up again
I'm so done believing and I've been living in sin

Let the light back in
Let the light back
Let the light back in
Let the light back
Let the light back in

Now I can run from it, but I can't hide
Seen the elephant from every side
Now I'm standing on the cold quayside
Screaming elegies into the night
Screaming, save me from the wreck I am
Pull me under, pull me up again
I'm so done believing and I've been living in sin

Let the light back in
Let the light back
Let the light back in
Let the light back
Let the light back in
Let the light back
Let the light back in
Let the light back
Let the light back in

This Is To Mother You

(Sinéad O'Connor cover / Norah Jones & Allison Russell / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

This is to mother you
To comfort you and get you through
Through when your nights are lonely
Through when your dreams are only blue
This is to mother you

This is to be with you
To hold you and to kiss you, too
For when you need me, I will do
What your own mother didn't do
Which is to mother you

All the pain that you have known
All the violence in your soul
All the wrong things you have done
I will take from you when I come

All mistakes made in distress
All your unhappiness
I will take away with my kiss, yes
I will give you tenderness

For child I am so glad I've found you
Although my arms have always been around you
Sweet bird although you did not see me
I saw you

And I'm here to mother you
To comfort you and get you through
Through when your nights are lonely
Through when your dreams are only blue
This is to mother you

For child I am so glad I've found you
Although my arms have always been around you
Sweet bird although you did not see me
I saw you

And I'm here to mother you
To comfort you and get you through
Through when your nights are lonely
Through when your dreams are only blue
This is to mother you
This is to mother you

This Lullaby

(Queens Of The Stone Age / Norah Jones & Josh Homme / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Where, where have you been, my love
Where, where can you be
That's been so long since the moon has gone
And oh what a wreck you've made me
Are you there over the oceans
Are you there up in the sky
Until the return of my love
This lullaby

My hope is on the horizon
Every face, your eyes I can see
I plead and pray though each night and day
Our embrace is only a dream
And as sure as days come from moments
Each hour becomes a life's time
When she'd left, I'd only begun
This lullaby

Two Of Us On The Run

(Norah Jones & Lucius / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

There are two of us on the run
Going so fast, every doubt we had is coming undone
And falling behind with everything we left there
We held on for far too long

And now we pass so many people on the road
They could come along, I wish they'd been told
And they may call it a shot in the dark
From what we know, it's not unheard of
And we'll one day tell our story
Of how we made something of ourselves now

Our favorite parts are what we'll keep
Ornamental parts of love and parts of memories
So everything else has room to grow
'Cause in better light, everything changes
So we can one day tell our story
Of how we made something of ourselves now

There's no race, there's only a runner
Just keep one foot in front of the other
There's no race, there's only a runner
One, two, three, even when you get tired
Just keep one foot in front of the other
There's no race, no ending in sight
No second too short, no window too tight

Turn off the lights when you leave
'Cause we've got everything, we're gonna need
We're on the run, we're on the run, we're on the run, child
We gotta run, we gotta run, we gotta run, child

One day tell our story
Of how we made something of ourselves now
One day tell our story
Of how we made something
We made something of ourselves

Wake

(Norah Jones & Madison Cunningham / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

You say that you could do me harm
In the safety of your arms
While your eyes are atom bombs dropping

My head is full of thunderclouds
Keeping aircraft on the ground
Who will win this lightning round of suffering

Turning in and turning out
The lining of our deepest doubts
In the California drought, we're drowning

I have followed in your wake
In your image, I might break

Bearing no resemblance
To an age of innocence
Have I lost the audience for good now

As the grand illusion frays
It hits me as I drive away
I'll never see your hair go gray

I have followed in your wake
In your image, I might break

We Gotta Know

(Norah Jones & Jesse Harris / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

We gotta know where we're going
Or else we could lose our way
If we find trouble
We'll have ourselves to blame

We gotta know what we're doing
It's easy to make mistakes
When no one's looking
That's when the world can change

We gotta know what we got
'Cause if we lose, we lose a lot
We gotta know when to stop
Searching for what we got

We gotta know what we're thinking
It's easy to think too much
And keep on pushing
Until we're out of touch

We gotta know what we got
'Cause if we lose, we lose a lot
We gotta know when to stop
Searching for what we got

We gotta know what we got
'Cause if we lose, we lose a lot
We gotta know when to stop
Searching for what we got

What Is Wrong With You

(Norah Jones, Pino Palladino & Blake Mills / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Violets in the sky
Birds are flying high
Every day is gray
Clouds just float on by

I look for your face
You are not a fool
I can't see what you do
What is wrong with you

Look into my eyes
Tell me what you see

Tell me who to be
What is wrong with me
What is wrong with you and me

What Was I Made For

(Billie Eilish cover / Norah Jones & Arooj Aftab / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

I used to float
Now I just fall down
I used to know
But I'm not sure now
What I was made for
What was I made for

Taking a drive
I was an ideal
Looked so alive
Turns out I'm not real
Just something you paid for
What was I made for

'Cause I, I
I don't know how to feel
But I want to try
I don't know how to feel
But someday I might
But someday I might

When did it end
All the enjoyment
I'm sad again
Don't tell my boyfriend
It's not what he's made for
What was I made for

'Cause I, I
I don't know how to feel
But I want to try
I don't know how to feel
But someday I might
Someday I might

Think I forgot
How to be happy
Something I'm not
But something I can be
Something I wait for
Something I'm made for
Something I'm made for
 

Woman

(Norah Jones & Lucius / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Woman
Why're you in my every moment
Why're you in my every mood
And when I look at you
It's through the pouring rain

Woman
I see you searching for the answer
In another universe
And you're a world away

Meet me in the place of no goodbye
I'll be there, you can't miss me
Meet me in the place of no goodbye
I'll be there, you can't miss me

Woman
You wanted to have everything
But maybe not to this degree
Is this the apogee

Woman
Such a painful thing to see
When beauty's told to crouch and weep
In the cloverleaf

Meet me in the place of no goodbye
I'll be there, you can't miss me
Meet me in the place of no goodbye
I'll be there, you can't miss me

Meet me in the place of no goodbye
I'll be there, you can't miss me
Meet me in the place of no goodbye
I'll be there, you can't miss me

Woman
I say I'm going to leave tonight
Don't let me go without a fight
You know I want to stay

Woman
The cord is wearing down to nothing
And love is rolling down your face
As you float away
As you float away
As you float away
As you float away
As you float away
As you float away
As you float away
As you float away
As you float away

Across The Universe

( The Beatles Cover / Tribute to Tsunami Victims
Bono, Norah Jones, Alicia Keys, Tim McGraw, Velvet Revolver, Brian Wilson & Stevie Wonder
From: The Grammys 2005)

Words are flying out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter shades of life
Are ringing through my open ears
Exciting and inviting me

Limitless undying love which
shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Ain't gonna ask you

( Cover - Johnny Yard/Dog Jones )

If you wanted to stay
With me tonight
that's alright
But I ain't gonna ask you

It's late and you're tired
And it's so cold outside
So I don't mind
But I ain't gonna ask you

It could be nice
It could be wild
If we share a few hours together

And if you don't love me
But don't know if that's clear
Don't you feel
'Cause I ain't gonna ask you

Don't you feel
'Cause I ain't gonna ask you

A Little At A Time

(Come Away With Me (20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition)

Stop loving me a little at a time
Let me lose you a little at a time
Just walk away slow like you don't wanna go
Leave me a little at a time

For my benefit, try and cry a little bit
For old time's sake, give me a slow heartbreak
I'll put up a fight, but I'll be all right
If you stop loving me a little at a time

Hurt me a little at a time
Turn me away a little at a time
Just walk away slow like you don't wanna go
Leave me a little at a time

For my benefit, try and cry a little bit
For old time's sake, give me a slow heartbreak
I'll put up a fight, but I'll be all right
If you stop loving me a little at a time

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

Any Other Day

( Wyclef Jean Duet )

Today is not like any other day
This one's gone and turned a darker shade of gray
What will I have learned
Tell me tell me somebody tell me now
When this hard rain's gone away

There is a safe place that I used to know
It's the only place that I wanna go
Where else could I turn
Tell me tell me somebody tell me now
'Till this hard rain's gone away

Grandma, grandpa, mother, father, sister, brother, Lord
Please help the child
I heard the preacher say "it's so sad"
I see the airplane
I hear the engine on the boat
But y'all can't see me waving the flag
Somebody please wave the flag

Grandma, grandpa, mother, father, sister, brother, Lord
Please help the child
I heard the preacher say "it's ok"
I see the airplane
I hear the engine on the boat
But y'all can't see me waving the flag
Somebody please wave the flag

What will I have learned
When this hard rain's gone away

Today is not like any other day
So I'm gonna have to find another way
People we got to find another way
Can you tell me how
When the hard rain's gone away

I've seen 'em waving the flag
Tell the chopper over here man we've waving the flag
I've seen 'em waving the flag
Tell the boat over here man we've waving the flag
Man, I'm waving the flag
Tell the chopper over here man we've waving the flag
Man, I'm waving the flag
Tell the boat over here man we've waving the flag
Waving the flag, waving the flag, waving the flag

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

Beautiful friendship

( Cover - Kahn/Styme / Piano Jazz w/Marian McPartland, 1-14-2003 )

This is the end of a beautiful friendship
It ended a moment ago
This is the end of a beautiful friendship
I know, 'cause your eyes told me so

We've always been
Like sister and brother
Until tonight
When we looked at each other

This was the end of a beautiful friendship
And just the beginning of love

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

Carry Me Away

(El Michels Affair feat. Norah Jones / 24 Hr Sports LP)

Carry me away
Take me for a day
Find some room to play
Carry me away

I'll see your face in the morning
Please, don't get in my way
Take me back to yesterday
Hang on, babe, it's gonna be okay

Find me up in space
Only love remains
Told you that I'll be okay
You just let me fly

Carry me away
Carry me away

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

Comes love

( Cover - Lee Brown/Tobias/Stept )

Coms a rainstorm, put your rubbers on your feet
Comes a snowstorm, you can get a little heat
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes a fire, then you know just what to do
Blow a tire, you can get another shoe
Comes love, nothing can be done

Don't try hiding, 'cause there isn't any use
You will start sliding, when your heart turns on the juice
Comes a headache, you can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache, see your dentist right away
Comes love, nothing can be done

That's all brother, if you ever been in love
That's all brother, you know just what I'm speaking of
Comes a nightmare, you can always stay awake
Comes depression, you may get another break
Comes love, nothing can be done

Crazy

(Willie Nelson cover / Live at home)

Crazy
I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue

I knew
You'd love me as long as you wanted
And then some day
You'd leave me for somebody new

Worry
Why do I let myself worry
Wondering
What in the world did I do

Oh crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
Oh I'm crazy for trying
And crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you

I'm crazy for trying
And I'm crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you

Crazy Arms

( Jerry Lee Lewis featuring Norah Jones 'Last Man Standing Live' )

Now blue ain't the word for the way that I feel
And some storm is brewin' in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream, I know that it's real
You're somebody else's love now, you're not mine

You've got crazy arms that need to hold somebody new
But my burnin' heart keeps sayin' you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time

Now take all those treasured dreams I had for you and me
And take all the love that I thought was mine
Some day your crazy arms will hold somebody new
Oh but now I'm so lonesome all the time

You've got crazy arms that needs to hold somebody new
But my burnin' heart keeps sayin' you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time

And that's why I'm lonely all the time

Cry Me A River

( Songwriters: Hamilton, Arthur / Norah Jones with Jim Campilongo Trio )

Now you say you're lonely
You cry the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember, all that you said
You told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me

And now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you

Day Dream

(Ella Fitgerald)

Day Dream
Why do you haunt me so
Deep in a rosy glow
The face of my love you show

Day Dream
I walk along on air
Building a castle there
For me and my love to share

Don't know the time
Lord I'm in such a daze
The sun in the sky
While I moon around feeling hazy

Day Dream
Don't break my reverie
Until I find that he is
Day dreaming just like me

Don't know the time
Oh Lord I'm in such a daze
The sun in the sky while
I walk around feeling hazy

Day dream don't break my reverie
Until I find that now he is
Day dreaming about me
Till I find that now he is
Day dreaming about me

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

Dear Someone

(Lila Downs Feat. Norah Jones)

I wanna go all over the world
And start living free
I know that there's somebody who
Is waiting for me

I'll build a boat steady and true
As soon as it's done
I'm gonna sail along in a dream
Of my dear someone

One little star, smiling tonight
Knows where you are
Stay little star steady and bright
To guide me afar

Rush, little wind, over the deep
For now I’ve begun
Hurry and take me straight into the arms
Of my dear someone.

Hurry and take me into the arms
Of my dear someone
Hurry and take me into the arms
Of my dear someone

Dreams Come True

( Willie Nelson - It always will be LP - 2004 )

I just thought that you
Would like to know
That I would do anything
Just to make your dreams come true

Well I thought that you
Would like to know
That I would climb the highest tree
Just to make your dreams come true

I know that it seems
Like I am full of hot air
But my heart is in the right place
I swear, I swear

I just thought that you
Would like to know
That I would do anything
Just to make your dreams come true

I know that it seems
Like I am full of hot air
But my heart is in the right place
I swear, I swear

I just thought that you
Would like to know
That I would do anything
Just to make your dreams come true

Drinkin' Bout You

(Nathan Ozug feat. Norah Jones)

Sitting here drinking 'bout you
Don't know what else to do
So you do the thinking
I'll do the drinking
Ain't no way we can lose

You're sitting there wasting weight
I don't know what else I can say
You're doing some drinking
I'm doing some thinking
I don't know if I'm going to stay

I just want to drink beer
I don't want to be here
I'm dreaming about yesterday

Sitting here all alone
May not find my way home
So you do the thinking
I'll do the drinking
Everyone here is almost gone

And I'm doing my time
With this whiskey of mine
Singing the same old song

Yeah, I can't stand on my feet
I think you should stay in your seat
Well, I'll do the drinking
Oh and I'll do the thinking
Can't we all just go to sleep

Well, I just want another beer
You don't need no more, dear
Let's go get you something to eat

And I'll do the thinking
(You do the thinking)
I'll do the drinking
(You do the drinking)
Ain't no way we can lose

You do the drinking
(I'll do the drinking)
You do the thinking
(I'll do the thinking)
Ain't no way we can lose

Yeah, I'll do the thinking
(You do the thinking)
I'll do the drinking
(You do the drinking)
Ain't no way we can lose

Easy

( Anoushka Shankar featuring Norah Jones )

It's only love
It's only love
You know, how it feels
Feeling is easy
I know

When I was young
When I was young
You know, it was real
My heart was open
But now

I know, I know
I know, I know
Better

And I've been shown
The other side
And now I see the way
Things are

It's only love
It's only love
You know, how it feels
Feeling is easy, I know...

Everybody Needs A Best Friend

(Ted OST)

My words are lazy
My thoughts are hazy
But this is one thing I'm sure of
Everybody needs a best friend
I'm happy I'm yours

You've got a double
Who brings you trouble
And though you're better without me
Everybody needs a best friend
I'm happy I'm yours

A fool could see decidedly
That you're a ten and I'm a three
A royal breed is what you need
So how do you come to be stuck with a bummer like me

You've got a head full
Of someone dreadful
But having someone adore you
Everybody needs a best friend
I'm happy I'm yours

A fool could see decidedly
That you're a ten and I'm a three
A royal breed is what you need
So how do you come to be stuck with a bummer like me

Oh you've got a head full of someone dreadful
And yet alas, that someone adores you
Everybody needs a best friend
I'm happy I'm yours

I'm just a clown
And I'll bring you down
But you just don't care
'Cause your best friend is me

Everybody's cryin' mercy

( Cover - Mose Allison )

I don't believe the things I'm seein'
I've been wonderin' 'bout some things I've heard
Everybody's crying mercy
When they don't know the meaning of the word

A bad enough situation
Is sure enough getting worse
Everybody's crying justice
Just as soon as there's business first

Toe to toe, touch and go
Give a cheer and get your own souvenir

Well you know the people running round in circles
Don't know what they're headed for
Everybody's crying peace on earth
Just as soon as we win this war

Straight ahead, gotta knock em dead
So pack your kit, choose your own hypocrite

You don't have to go to off-Broadway
To see something plain absurd
Everybody's crying mercy
When they don't know the meaning of the word

Nobody knows the meaning of the word

Fragile

(Come Away With Me (20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition)

More fragile than life
And easier to destroy
And faster to dissolve
And cheaper to avoid
And riskier to control
And not so forgiving
More fragile than life
Is living

More fragile than time
And tougher to tell
And simpler to kill
Oh, and deeper to dwell
And quicker to plash
When both hands are climbing
More fragile than time
Is timing

More fragile than you
And sweeter inside
And sadder to leave
Oh, unidentified
And sooner to fade
And harder to trust
More fragile than you
Is us

Funny How Time Slips Away

(Willie Nelson cover / Live at home)

Well, hello there
My, it's been a long, long time
How am I doing
Well, I guess that I'm doing just fine

Well, it's been so long now
And it seems now
Like it was only yesterday
Gee, ain't it funny how time slips away

How's your new love
Well, I hope that he's doing just fine
I heard you told him
You'd love him till the end of time

Now that's the same thing
That you told me
And it seems like just the other day
Oh gee, ain't it funny how time slips away

Well, I gotta go now
But I guess I'll see you around
But I don't know when though
'Cause I'll never know when I'll be back in town

But remember what I tell you
That in time you're gonna pay
Oh it's surprising how time just slips away
Gee, ain't it funny how time slips away

Girl Talk

(Neal Hefti cover / Sasha Dobson & Norah Jones / Girl Talk LP)

We like to chat
About the dresses we will wear tonight
We chew the fat
About our tresses and the neighbor's fight
Inconsequential things
That men don't really care to know
Become essential things
That women find so apropos

But that's a dame
We're all the same
It's just a game
We call it girl talk
Girl talk

We all meow
About the ups and downs of all our friends
The who, the how
The why we dish the dirt it never ends
The weaker sex
The speaker sex you mortal males behold
But though we joke
We wouldn't trade you for a ton of gold

It's all been planned
So take my hand
Please, understand
The sweetest girl talk
Talks to you

We like to chat
About the dresses we will wear tonight
We chew the fat
About our tresses and the neighbor's fight
Inconsequential things
That men don't really care to know
Become essential things
That women find so apropos

But that's a dame
We're all the same
It's just a game
We call it girl talk
Girl talk

We all meow
About the ups and downs of all our friends
The who, the how
The why we dish the dirt it never ends
The weaker sex
The speaker sex you mortal males behold
But though we joke
We wouldn't trade you for a ton of gold

It's all been planned
So take my hand
Please, understand
The sweetest girl talk
Talks to
The sweetest girl talk
Talks to you
The sweetest girl talk

Hallelujah I love him so

(Ray Charles / Come Away With Me 20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition)

Let me tell you about a boy I know
He is my baby and he lives next door
Every morning before the sun comes up
He brings my coffee in my favorite cup
That's why I know, yes I know
Hallelujah I just love him so

When I'm in trouble and I have no friends
I know he'll go with me until the end
Everybody asks me how I know
I smile and tell them he told me so
That's why I know, yes, I know
Hallelujah I just love him so

Now if I call him on the telephone
And tell him that I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four
I hear him on my door

In the evening when the sun goes down
When there is nobody else around
He kisses me and he holds me tight
And tells me "baby everything's all alright"

That's why I know, yes I know
Hallelujah I just love her so

Oh, if I call him on the telephone
And tell him that I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four
I hear him on my door

In the evening when the sun goes down
When there is nobody else around
He kisses me and he holds me tight
And he tells me "baby everything's all alright"

That's why I know, yes I know
Hallelujah I just love him so
Hallelujah I love him so
Don't you know
Oh, hallelujah
Hallelujah I just love him so
Hallelujah
Oh you know
Hallelujah I just love him so
Hallelujah
Hallelujah...

Hands On The Wheel

(Bill Callery cover / Live at home)

At a time when the world seems to be spinning
Hopelessly out of control
There's deceivers and believers and old in-betweeners
That seem to have no place to go

Well, it's the same old song
It's right and it's wrong
And living is just something that I do

And with no place to hide
I looked in your eyes
And I found myself in you

I looked to the stars
Tried all of the bars, yes
And I've nearly gone up in smoke

With my hands on the wheel
I've something that's real
And I feel like I'm going home

And in the shade of an oak down by the river
Sat an old man and a boy
Telling tales, setting sails and fishing for whales
With a lady they both enjoy

Well, it's the same damn tune
It's the man in the moon
It's the way that I feel about you

And with no place to hide
I looked in your eyes
And I found myself in you

I looked to the stars
Tried all of the bars, yes
And I've nearly gone up in smoke

Now my hands on the wheel
I've something that's real
And I feel like I'm going home
And I feel like I'm going home

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

(Judy Garland cover / Norah Jones & Laufey / Christmas With You EP)

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year, all our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Next year, all our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Someday soon, we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Someday soon, we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Help me make it through the night

( Cover - Kris Kristofferson )

Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall,
Layin' soft upon my skin,
Like the shadows on the wall.

Come and lay down by my side
'Till the early morning light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night.

I don't care what's right or wrong,
I don't try to understand.
Let the devil take tomorrow.
Lord, tonight I need a friend.

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight.
And it's sad to be alone.
Help me make it through the night.

I don't care what's right or wrong,
I don't try to understand.
Let the devil take tomorrow.
'Cause, tonight I need a friend.

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night

I don't want to be alone
Help me make it through the night

How Deep Is The Ocean

(Irving Berlin cover / Live at Home)

How much do I love you
I'll tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean
How high is the sky
How many times a day
Do I think of you
How many roses
Are sprinkled with dew

How far would I travel
To be where you are
How far is the journey
From here to a star
And if I ever lost you
How much would I cry
How deep is the ocean
How high is the sky

How far would I travel
To be where you are
How far is the journey
From here to a star
And if I ever lost you
How much would I cry
How deep is the ocean
How high is the sky
How high is the sky

I Am Missing You

(Ravi Shankar cover / Live at home)

I'm missing you
Oh Krishna, where are you
I'm missing you
Oh Krishna, where are you

Though I can't see you
I hear your flute all the while
Though I can't see you
I hear your flute all the while
Please, come wipe my tears
And make me smile
Please, come wipe my tears
And make me smile

I'm missing you
Oh Krishna, where are you
I'm missing you
Oh Krishna, where are you

Though I can't see you
I hear your flute all the while
Though I can't see you
I hear your flute all the while
Please, come wipe my tears
And make me smile
Please, come wipe my tears
And make me smile

I'm missing you
Oh Krishna, where are you
Where are you

I can't get started

( Live )

I've flown around the world on a place
I've settled revolutions in SPain
The North Pole I have charted
But I can't get started with you

'Round the golf course I'm under par
And all the movies want me to star
I've got a house and a show place
But I can't get no place
With you

You're so supreme
Lyrics I write to you
They scheme
Just for the sight of you
Dream both day and night of you
And what good does it do

In 1929 I sold short
In England I'm presented at court
But you've got me down hearted
'Cause I can't get started with you

You're so supreme
Lyrics I write of  you
They scheme
Just for the sight of you
Dream both day and night of you
And what good does it do

In 1929 I sold short
In England I'm presented at court
But you've got me down hearted
I just can't get started with you

You've got me down hearted
I just can't get started with you

I Didn’t Know About You

(Ella Fitzgerald / Come Away With Me 20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition)

I ran around, with my own little crowd
The usual laughs, not often, but loud
And in the world that I knew
I didn't know about you

Chasing after the ring, on the merry-go-round
Just taking my fun, where it could be found
And yet what else could I do
I didn't know about you

Darling, now I know
I had the loneliest yesterday, everyday
In your arms
I know for once in my life, I'm living

I had a good time, everytime I went out
Romance was a thing, I kidded about
How could I know about love
I didn't know about you

How could I know about love
I didn't know about you

I Don't Want Anything to Change

( Bonnie Raitt featuring Norah Jones )

Sleepless nights aren't so bad
I'm staying up, I'm staying sad
I don't want anything to change
I don't want anything to change
I like it lonely, I like it strange
I don't want anything to change

You left a mess you're everywhere
I'd pick it up but I don't dare
I don't want anything to change
I don't want anything to change
There's nothing I would rearrange
I don't want anything to change

I can feel you fading
But until you're gone
I'm taking all the time I can borrow
The getting over is waiting
But I won't move on
And I'm gonna wanna feel the same tomorrow

I know the truth is right outside
But for the moment it's best denied
I don't want anything to change

I can feel you fading
But until you're gone
I'm taking all the time I can borrow
The getting over is waiting
But I won't move on
And I'm gonna wanna feel the same tomorrow

And I don't want anything to do
With what comes after you
I don't want anything to change
I don't want anything to change
I don't want anything to change

I Got It Bad

( Duke Ellington Cover - Dayna Kurtz's Beautiful Yesterday LP - 2004 )

Never treats me sweet and gentle
The way he should
I got it bad
And that's not good

My poor heart is sentimental
Not made of wood
I got it bad
And that ain't good

But when the weekend is over
When the weekend's over
And Monday rolls around
I end up like i start out
Just crying my poor heart out

He don't love me like I love him
Nobody could
I got it bad
That's not good

Like a lonely weeping willow
Who's lost in the wood
I got it so bad and that ain't good

And the things I tell my pillow
No woman should
I got it bad
And that's not good
That's not good

Now folks with good intentions
They tell me
They tell me to save my tears
Tell me to save my tears
But I'm glad I'm bad about him
I just can't live
I just can't live without him

Lord above me
Make him love me
The way
All the way that he should
Way he should

I got it so bad
I got it bad
And that's not good
That ain't good
I got it real, real bad
And you know that's not good

I Forgot

(With Rodrigo Amarante)

I forgot
I say it for the first time
I forgot
I say it again

Ai saudade, wabi-sabi, mono no aware
Bollywood and Kamikaze, Nintendo to Atari
Oompa Loompa says we can't forget
But you forgot

I said it for the first time
I can't be what I'm not
I'll say it for the third time
I forgot
I'll say it again

In Oaxaca, Waxahachie, Rio de Janeiro
Saskatoon and Kalamazoo and San Junipero
Land of Oz is waiting for us even if I forgot

You say it for the first time
You can't face what you're not
I'll say it for the fourth time
I forgot
We'll say it for the last time
We forgot
We'll say it again
We forgot
We'll say it again
We forgot, oh oh
We'll say it again

If I Had a Talking Picture of You

("Sunny Side Up" movie / Seth MacFarlane feat. Norah Jones / In Full Swing LP)

If I had a talking picture of you
I would run it every time I felt blue
Would you sit there in the gloom of your lonely little room
And applaud each time I whispered, "I love you; love you"

On the screen the moment you came in view
We would talk the whole thing over, we two
We would give ten shows a day
And a midnight matinee
If I had a talking picture of you

If I had a talking picture of you
I would run it every time I felt blue
Would you sit there in the gloom of your lonely little room
And applaud each time I whispered, "I love you; I love you"

On the screen the moment you came in view
We would talk the whole thing over, we two
We would give ten shows a day
And a midnight matinee
If I had a talking picture of you

If I had a talking picture
Of you

If You Want the Rainbow (You Must Have the Rain)

( Annette Hanshaw Cover / Boardwalk Empire OST )

What does it matter if rain comes your way
And raindrops patter all day
The rain descending should not make you blue
The happy ending is waiting for you

Take your share of trouble, face it and don't complain
If you want the rainbow, you must have the rain

Happiness comes double after a little pain
If you want the rainbow, you must have the rain

What if your love affair should break up
As they sometimes will
When you kiss and make up, oh boy what a thrill

Sadness ends in gladness, showers are not in vain
If you want the rainbow, you must have the rain

Take your share of trouble, face it and don't complain
If you want the rainbow, you must have the rain

Happiness comes double after a little pain
If you want the rainbow, you must have the rain

What if your love affair should break up
As they sometimes will
When you kiss and make up, oh what a thrill

Sadness ends in gladness, showers are not in vain
If you want the rainbow, you must have the rain

I'll Bee Seeing You

(Written by Sammy Fain and Irving Kahan / Live at Home)

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through

In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children's carosel
The chestnut trees
The wishing well

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
Everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way

I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
I'll be seeing you

I'll Be Gone

(Norah Jones & Mavis Staples)

There's a place far from here
Gonna make it my home
It's where I belong

When I get where I'm going
I'll be gone, I'll be gone

When my heart
Gets so tired
That it can't keep time
Don't you cry

When I get where I'm going
I'll be gone, I'll be gone

Wish I could tell you that the sun was gonna shine
I got a feelin that I still won't change my mind
Runnin out of time

There's a place
On a mountain
You can take my bones
When I go home

When I get where I'm going
I'll be gone, I'll be gone

I wanna tell you that it's all gonna be just fine
But I don't wanna waste any more of your time
You didn't waste mine

Ill Wind (You're Blowin' Me No Good)

( Harold Arlen/Ted Koehler - Charlie Haden Sophisticated Ladies LP)

Blow ill wind, blow away
Let me rest today
You're blowin' me no good, no good

Go ill wind, go away
Skies are oh so gray
Around my neighborhood
And that's no good

You're only misleadin' the sunshine I'm needin'
Ain't that a shame
Oh it's so hard to keep up with troubles that creep up
From out of nowhere, when love's to blame

So ill wind, blow away
Let me rest today
You're blowin' me no good, no good

You're only misleadin' the sunshine I'm needin'
Ain't that a shame
Oh it's so hard to keep up with troubles that creep up
From out of nowhere, when love's to blame

So ill wind, blow away
Let me rest today
You're blowin' me no good, no good
No good, no good

In a whisper

( Lazlo featuring Norah Jones )

That's good

Alone at half past midnight
She calls his name,
Afraid that in the morning
That nothing will change.

And where, where are the things that we fought for
Where, where is the love
And where, where are the answers, you told us
Would come from up above

This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
In a whisper

She says she likes to tell you
Just where they met
She says she's trying
But she can't remember yet

Sometimes when she's at home
And she's all alone
She thinks she hears him call her
On the telephone

And she says;
"Where, where is the love that you promised
And where, where have you gone
I search for you but when I get near
You leave me on my own"

This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
In a whisper

Some days she tries to find him
But where should she look
Should she look in the city
Or in a book

And where, where are the things that we fought for
And where, where is the love
And where, where're all the answers, you told us
Would come from up above

This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends

In a whisper

In the dark

( Cover - Lil Green / Jools Holland LP )

In the dark
It's just you and I
Not a sound
There's not one sigh
Just the beat of my poor heart
In the dark

Now in the dark, in the dark
I get such a thrill
When he presses his fingertips
Upon my lips
And he begs me to please keep still
In the dark

But soon
This dance will be endin'
And you're gonna be missed
Gee, I'm not pretendin'
'Cause I swear it's fun
Fun to be kissed

In the dark
Now we will find
What the rest
Have left behind
Just let them dance
We're gonna find romance
Lord, in the dark

It's Raining Tacos

(Parry Gripp cover)

It's raining tacos
From out of the sky
Tacos
No need to ask why
Just open your mouth and close your eyes
It's raining tacos

It's raining tacos
Out on the streets
Tacos
All you can eat
Plenty of lettuce
And cheese and meat
It's raining tacos

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yumity, yum
It's like a dream
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yumity, yum
Bring your sour cream

It's raining tacos
From out of the sky
Tacos
No need to ask why
Just open your mouth and close your eyes
It's raining tacos

It's raining tacos
It's raining tacos
It's raining tacos
It's raining tacos
Raining tacos

It's Not Christmas 'Til You Come Home

(Spotify Singles: Holiday / Recorded at Spotify Studios NYC)

I won't believe it's Christmas
'Til you make it home to me
The snow isn't white
The stars aren't bright
And lights don't belong on the tree

I will stay up all night waiting
For you on Christmas Eve
The sleigh bells won't ring
Bing Crosby won't sing
It's not Christmas 'til you come home

I won't believe it's Christmas
'Til you walk through that door
There's no Tiny Tim and Santa is slim
And mistletoe's hung on the floor

I made a promise to you
To wait for your return
The snowflakes won't fall
We can't deck the halls
It's not Christmas 'til you come home

The snowflakes won't fall
We can't deck the halls
It's not Christmas 'til you come home

I've Got A Feeling

(The Beatles / Live at The Empire State Building)

I've got a feeling, a feeling deep inside
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I've got a feeling, a feeling I can't hide
Oh no, oh no
I've got a feeling

Oh please believe me, I'd hate to miss the train
Oh yeah, oh yeah
And if you leave me I won't be late again
Oh no, oh no
I've got a feeling

All these years I've been wandering around
Wondering how come nobody told me
All I was looking for was somebody
Who looked like you

I've got a feeling that keeps me on my toes
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I've got a feeling, I think that everybody knows
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I've got a feeling

Everybody had a hard year
Everybody had a good time
Everybody had a wet dream
Everybody saw the sunshine
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Everybody had a good year
Everybody let their hair down
Everybody pulled their socks up
Everybody put their foot down
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Everybody had a hard year
Everybody had a good time
Everybody had a wet dream
Everybody saw the sunshine

Yeah, I've got a feeling
A feeling deep inside
Oh yeah, oh yeah

I've got a feeling, a feeling I can't hide
Oh no
Oh no

I Walk the Line

( Johnny Cash Cover / Joel Harrison's Free Country LP - 2003 )

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine
I walk the line

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine
I walk the line

As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine,
I walk the line

You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine
I walk the line

Just Like A Dream Today (First Sessions Outtakes)

(Come Away With Me 20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition)

I've been gone long-long time
Everyone I've left behind
Seems to be so far away
There are like a dreams today
There are like a dreams today

And I will try
To find my away

Trough the done
Of own familiar street
Till a far between the sheets
With the sun light in my eyes
From the one familiar sky's
From the one familiar sky's

And I will try
To find my away

And I will try
To find my away

I remember at that door
There's to places I use to know
I've been lost now, I can't say
It's just like a dream today
It's just like a dream today

It's just like a dream today

Just Noise

(Written by Beck / Song Reader LP)

If you hear my heart breaking
And you don't know what it is
Don't be alarmed, it won't do you no harm
It's just noise, it's just noise
It's just noise, it's just noise

If you notice my hopes falling
As they scatter across the floor
Don't be concerned or startled
It's just noise, it's just noise
It's just noise, it's just noise

And when I'm walking through the city
Looking for where my thoughts have run
Inside there's nothing working
No one knows what I've become
No one knows what I've become

If you hear my wheels turning
And you don't know where I've gone
Don't look outside, don't bother your pride
It's just noise, it's just noise
It's just noise, it's just noise

Don't look outside, don't bother your pride
It's just noise, it's just noise
It's just noise, it's just noise

Let It Be

(The Beatles / Live at The Empire State Building)

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
Though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they may see
There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be

And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Let It Ride

(Robert Glasper Experiment feat. Norah Jones / Black Radio 2 LP)

I never been a gambler
I stay on the safe side, you know
So, I know I′m all right
But all of that's forgotten when
I′m looking into your eyes

I'm happily out on a limb
You pull me out from inside, love
You show me what it feels like

No guarantee of anything
So all my love is on the line
But I let it ride
I let it ride
I let it ride
I let it ride

It's easier than ever now
To walk away with no sight, I know
You′ll make sure I′m all right
My heart is always winning if
I have you in my mind

I'd happily do anything
If I know I′m by your side
You, you show me what it feels like

No guarantee of anything
So all my love is on the line
But I let it ride
I let it ride
I let it ride
So I let it ride
I let it ride

But only for you
Just you
I let it ride
I let it ride
I let it ride
Let it ride
I let it ride
I let it ride

I let it ride
Let it
I let it ride

[spoken]
Robert Glasper
Hey man, it's your boy, Wayne Brady
Hey, I′m still trying to get on the record, brother
Hey, so I'm thinking, either I′ll sing something
You know, like, I'll sing something like Erykah Badu did on the last one
Be like
Key change
Ok, no
Or I gave you some gangsta shit, check it, it's freestyling

Folks don′t know about Wayne Brady
Born and raised right on Crenshaw
Big six-foot-tall chocolate dude
Running around in nothing but his draws breaking the law
Over there making them bass notes like Lou Rawls
Just too tight, what's that sound
That′s the sound of my two click-clacking balls
As they bounce off the walls and it echoes down the halls
Look at me running over there buying everything up in the malls
And I just bought three ponies and put 'em right in the stalls
After that was finished, I went to the Taj Mahal
Ring, ring, that′s my cell phone, I think I just got a call

Oh oh you know, I'm gonna stop
'Cause that boy's too hot, that boy′s too hot
Who else can do that for you
Who else is gonna give you that real gangsta shit, Robert
Call me back

Life Is A Carnival

( Live 2004 / R.Danko, L.Helm and J.R.Robertson - 1971 )

You can walk on the water, drown in the sand
You can fly off a mountaintop if anybody can
Run away, run away, it's the restless age
Look away, look away, you can turn the page
Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap
Here on the street
I got six on each arm and two more round my feet
Life is a carnival, believe it or not
Life is a carnival, two bits a shot

Saw a man with the jinx in the third degree
From trying to deal with people, people you can't see
Take away, take away, this house of mirrors
Give away, give away, all the souvenirs
We're all in the same boat ready to float off the edge of the world
The flat old world
The street is a sideshow from the peddler to the corner girl
Life is a carnival, it's in the book
Life is a carnival, take another look

Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap
Here on the street
I got six on each arm and two more round my feet
Life is a carnival, believe it or not
Life is a carnival, two bits a shot

Light Wind Blowing

(Live at Home 2020-06-04)

There's a light wind blowing
Along the avenue
The crowd's not slowing
There's nothing you can do
We've reached the final hour
We're moments from the tower
Where love is sworn
We're showered with rice by day
I kneel and bow my head to pray

I don't know what it's like to be you
You can see that I'm crying too
I'm listening but can't quite hear
Over the roar of fear
Let's reach across the great divide
And lift each other up
The only thing help us now
Is love, it's love, it's love, it's love, it's love

If we love, listen and learn
We'll hold the peace, we'll earn

Love Hurts

( With Keith Richards - Gram Parson Tribute )

Love hurts, love scars
Love wounds, and marks
Any heart, not tough
Or strong, enough
To take a lot of pain
Take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain

Love hurts
Oh oh love hurts

I'm young, I know
But even so
I know a thing, or two
I learned, from you
I really learned a lot
Really learned a lot
Love is like a flame
It burns you when it's hot
Love hurts
Oh oh love hurts

Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
They're not fooling me

I know it isn't true
I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie
Made to make you blue
Love hurts
Oh oh love hurts

Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
But they're not fooling me

I know it isn't true
Know it isnt true
Love is just a lie
Made to make you blue
Love hurts
Oh oh love hurts
Oh oh love hurts
Oh oh love hurts

Love me tender

( Cover on Adam Levy - Get Your Glow On LP / Elvis Presley )

Love me tender, love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I love you so

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For, my darling I love you
And I always will.

Love me tender, love me dear
Tell me you are mine
I'll be yours through all the years
'Till the end of time

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For, my darling I love you
And I always will

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For, my darling I love you
And I always will
Always will

Maybe I'm Amazed

(Paul McCartney cover / Dave Grohl & Norah Jones / Live at Kennedy Center Honors 2010)

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time
And hung me on the line
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you

Maybe I'm a woman
Maybe I'm a lonely woman in the middle of something
That she doesn't barely understand
Maybe I'm a woman
Maybe you're the only man who could ever help me
Baby, won't you help me to understand

Maybe I'm a man
Maybe you're the only woman that could ever help me
Baby, won't you help me to understand

Maybe I'm amazed, maybe I'm amazed
Maybe I'm amazed, maybe I'm amazed
Maybe I'm amazed, I'm amazed
Maybe I'm amazed
With you

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.

Paradise II

(Logic feat. Norah Jones)

Cruisin' through the borderlands, catch a vibe
Fatherhood my hustle, nowadays I’m makin' music on the side
I confide in the page, weed smoke fill the air, like Sage
Thirty-two my age, I spot a couple grays
Feel my blood pressure raise
No longer are the days of my childhood
My priority nowadays is making sure my wife and my child good
Steppin' to me, I wish you would
Lord of the Rings, my bling shine like Elijah Wood (Ah-ah-ah)
Yeah, the lows be low, but the highs be good
Beneath the sheets, like Elle Osili-Wood
I pick up the mic, on my Gotti good
Retired and camе back, just like they thought he would (Uh-uh)
Feel it and facе ’em (Uh-uh)
I'm tryna face it (Uh-uh), the rest is basic, uh (Uh-uh)
Ayo, I want you to play this (Uh-uh), and vibe in the ride (Uh-uh)
I'm finally happy with the man (Uh-uh), on the inside
Full of pride (Uh-uh), full of fear
Been a decade, but I'm here, seein' clear
Different motivations, no longer the people that's up in my ear (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I woke up early on my born day, like Nasir in '94 (Ah-ah-ah)
Three-hundred-sixty-five behind me now, plus one more
My physical frame made it beyond what they said it would
My debut album did better than Reddit said it would
Made it out the trap, but I got my gat, yeah, that's a fact
I’m runnin’ it back, like "What's up?"
From the cover of XXL to my moment of clarity (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
As I excel at Madison Square, I swear
The rap game will split your shit, like an affair
Prepare for the worst
And this business shit can get grimy, got ’em all behind me
Come now, don't try me, 'cause I'm me, the God
Study bitches, like I’m abroad
This is Dad music, pick up the pen and know how to use it (Ah-ah-ah)
Plenty responsibility and me know how to use it
Appreciative for what I got, 'cause people could lose it
Take these lyrics and use it (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Take the heart on my sleeve and transfuse it
I'm bleeding as you listen to what I'm reading (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
No longer needing approval and feeding into the vision of the public
I'm above it, used to do it how they did it
'Cause I thought that's how you did it, now I do it, 'cause I love it
I don't covet everything they got that I don't (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Let me out of the water
Let me into your sunny day
Let me out, out of the water
Let me into your sunny day
Get me out of this water
Let me into your sunny day
Get me out of this water
Let me into your sunny day
Stop tryna make it right
Gotta get it nice and light
Won't you take me for a ride?
Take me into paradise
Gotta keep our heads tonight
Even if it makes a fight
Take me into paradise
Here I am in paradise

Patience

(Guns N' Roses cover)

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missing you
I'm still alright to smile
I think about you every day now

Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt
You're in my heart now

Said, woman, take it slow
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said, sugar, make it slow
We come together fine

I sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now
I'll wait, dear

Sometimes I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love
There's one more thing to consider

Said, woman, take it slow
And things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said, sugar, take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it
I'll never break it
'Cause I can't take it

Little patience
Yeah just a little patience
Yeah I need a little patience

I've been walking the streets at night
Just trying to get it right
Hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like
Being stuck in the crowd
And the streets don't change
But maybe the names
I ain't got time for the game
'Cause I need you
Yeah but I need you
Oh but I need you
Oh but I need you
All this time

Permanently Lonely

(Willie Nelson cover / Live at home)

Don't be concerned, it's time that I learned
That those who play with fire get burned
But I'll be alright in a little while
But you'll be permanently lonely

Don't be too quick to pity me
Don't salve my heart with sympathy
'Cause I'll be alright in a little while
You'll be permanently lonely

The world looks on with wonder and pity for your kind
'Cause it knows that the future is not very pretty for your kind, for your kind

Will always be running and wondering
What's happened to hearts that you've broken and left all alone
We'll be alright in a little while
But you'll be permanently lonely
Wondering lonely

Playing Along

(With Tarriona Tank Bell)

And all along, we were playing along
A game of mouse turned to playing house
I sit back and watch this shit play out
One shirt turns into two
A toothbrush, a shoe or two
A courtesy, I'll fly with you
Running from whatever
Running towards each other
I'll

Excuse me, beg my pardon, I know I don't say this often
But I find you to be awesome, awesome enough for stalking
If available for calling, we'll talk about summer and autumn
In-between this lonely dream I give you a precaution
I'm known to be clingy, stingy, and needy with your love
We be eating and grab it, grabby, hogging all your love
So if your interest is my interest, intention my intention
If we color code this crazy mode, your Pinterest be my interest

Hey, I miss you
Don't know why I kiss you, baby
How do we find
Place where we can be, baby
Subways and streetcars
Taxis and Uber's
Taxis and Uber's

Don't be crazy
Though you can't save me, baby
Subways and streetcars
Taxis and Uber's
Driving to see you
Don't you go too

Help me from sinking
You know what I was thinking, baby
Subways and streetcars
Taxis and Uber's
Driving to see you
Don't you go too far
Too far, too far, too far

And all along, we were playing along
A game of mouse turned to playing house
I sit back and watch this shit play out
One shirt turns into two
A toothbrush, a shoe or two
A courtesy, I'll fly with you
Running from whatever
Running towards each other
I'll

Hey, I miss you
Don't know why I kiss you, baby
How do we find
Place where we can be, baby
Subways and streetcars
Taxis and Uber's
Taxis and Uber's

Don't be crazy
Though you can't save me, baby
Subways and streetcars
Taxis and Uber's
Driving to see you
Don't you go too

Help me from sinking
You know what I was thinking, baby
Subways and streetcars
Taxis and Uber's
Driving to see you
Don't you go too far
Too far, too far, too far

Prototype

(Robert Glasper feat. Norah Jones / Keys To The City Volume One LP)

I hope that you're the one
If not, you are the prototype
We'll tiptoe towards the sun
And do things I know you like

I think I'm in love again
I think I'm in love again

Today must be my lucky day
Baby, you are the prototype
Might do something out of the ordinary like catch a matinee
Oh you are the prototype

Oh I think I'm in love again
I think I'm in love again

If we happen to part
Lord knows I don't want that
But we can't be mad at God
We're meant to be for a reason

I think I'm on the right track
I'm in love again
I think I'm in love again

Querido Alguien

(Lila Downs Feat. Norah Jones)

Yo quiero ir
Por todo el mundo
Ser libre y feliz

Yo sé que hay alguien
Así como yo
Me está esperando a mí

Me haré un barco me lleve constante
Y cuando he de partir
Navegaré en un sueño
Rumbo a mi querido amor

Una estrella sonriente en lanoche
Sabe dónde estarás
Quédate, estrella, alumbra brillante
Pa’ guiarme desde allá

Corre, viento, sobre lo profundo
Que ya he de partir

Corre y llévame
Hasta los brazos
De mi querido amor

Corre y llévame
Hasta sus brazos
De mi querido amor

Corre y llévame
Hasta sus brazos
De mi querido amor

Really Real

(Allison Russell feat. Norah Jones / In The Hour Of Chaos LP)

Well, you've seen me in my power
And you've seen me black and blue
You've been there the whole ride
Been through all the lows and highs
And you never spoke nothing but the truth

But when the truth was so cold
You held it by the firelight for me
Let me sleep easy till the morning

Where's your way-back-true-fact-really-real one
Who's gonna be your shelter from the storm
Don't forget, one day they're gonna need some
They're gonna need a little shelter of their own

Well, I don't know how to pray, love
So I write these songs for you
I've been driving while you sleep
You put all that weight on me
And you never see my indigo mood

But when my eyes grow so tired
Will you take the wheel away from me
Let me sleep easy till the morning

Where's your way-back-true-fact-really-real one
Who's gonna be your shelter from the storm
Don't forget, one day they're gonna need some
They're gonna need a little shelter of their own

Where's your way-back-true-fact-really-real one
(True-fact-really-real one)
Who's gonna be your shelter from the storm
(Who's gonna be your shelter from the storm)
Don't forget, one day they're gonna need some
(Don't forget, they're gonna need some)
They're gonna need a little shelter of their own
(They're gonna need a little shelter of their own)

Ride on

( Cover - AC/DC )

It's another lonely evening
And another lonely town
But I ain't too young to worry
And I ain't too old to cry
When a woman gets me down
Got another empty bottle
And another empty bed
Ain't too young to admit it
And I'm not too old to lie
I'm just another empty head

That's why I'm lonely
I'm so lonely
But I know what I'm gonna do

I'm gonna ride on
Ride on, ride on

Standing on the edge of the road
Thumb up in the air
One of these days
I'm gonna change my evil ways
'Till then I'll just keep dragging on

I broke another promise
And I broke another heart
But I ain't too young to realize
That I ain't too old to try
try to get back to the start
And it's another red light nightmare
Another red light street
And I ain't too old to hurry
Cause I ain't too old to die
But I sure I'm hard to beat

But I'm lonely
I'm so lonely
But I know what I'm gonna do

Ride on, ride on
Ride on, ride on
i'm gonna change my evil ways
One of these days
'Till then I'll just keep dragging on

I'm gonna change my evil ways
One of these days
'Till then I'll just keep dragging on
'Till then I'll just keep dragging on

Rita

( Rachel Loshak's Peach Pony LP - 2004 )

I was wondering how it would be
To sit here forever in your company
I'm looking at everything, brown and green
Then your darkness, somewhere between.

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. Norah Jones)

Every girl gets her dreams
Cast into reality
Never seemed to bother me
Only just recently

'Cause you seem to believe
That we'll never be free
Always gonna be needing

Can't we be
Like the season's trees
Changeably
Just not so easily

All in all we're the same
Jumping through hoops of flames
Sounds fun, what a dangerous game
Pretty picture trapped in frame

But you seem to behave
Like we'll always be slaves
Never running away

Can't we be
Like the season's trees
Changeably
Just not too easily

'Cause you seem to believe
That we'll never be free
Always gonna be needing

Can't we be
Like the season's trees
Changeably
Just not so easily

September in the rain

( Cover - Harry Warren/Al Dubin )

The leaves are brown, came tumbling down, remember
That september, in the rain
The sun went out just like a dying ember
That september, in the rain

To every word of love I've heard you whisper
All the raindrops seem to play a sweet refrain
Though spring is here, to me it's still september
That september, in the rain

The leaves are brown, came tumbling down, remember
That september, in the rain
The sun went out just like a dying ember
That september, in the rain

To every word of love I've heard you whisper
All the raindrops seem to play a sweet refrain
Though spring is here, to me it's still september
That september, in the rain
That september, in the rain

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

Seventeen

(Sharon Van Etten feat. Norah Jones)

I know what you wanna say
I think that you're all the same
Constantly being led astray
You think you know something you don't

Downtown hotspot halfway up the street
I used to be free, I used to be seventeen
Follow my shadow around your corner
I used to be seventeen, now you're just like me

Down beneath the ashes and stone
Sure of what I've lived and have known
I see you so uncomfortably alone
I wish I could show you how much you've grown

Downtown hotspot used to be on this street
I used to be seventeen, I used to be seventeen
Now you're a hotshot hanging on my block
Sun coming up, who's my shadow

La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

I know what you're gonna be
I know that you're gonna be
You'll crumble it up just to see
Afraid that you'll be just like me

Downtown hotspot halfway through this life
I used to feel free, or was it just a dream
Now you're a hotshot, think you're so carefree
But you're just seventeen, so much like me
You're just seventeen, you're just seventeen
Seventeen

La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

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

Something is calling you

(Come Away With Me 20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition)

Don't tell them, they'll only drink your tears
Don't do it, not in a hundred years
You know it
You feel it, I do too
Just listen
Something is calling you

What difference do you think that it makes
If you give, or if it's you who takes
I know it
I feel it, you do too
Just listen
You'll hear it calling you

What difference do you think that it makes
If you give, or if it's you who takes
I know it
I feel it, you do too
Just listen
You'll hear it calling you

Speak Low

( Tony Bennett ft. Norah Jones )

Time is so old and love so brief
Love is pure gold and time a thief

Speak low when you speak love
Our summer's day withers away too soon, too soon
Speak low when you speak love
Our moment is swift like ships adrift
Swept apart too soon

Speak low, darling speak low
Love is a spark, lost in the dark too soon, too soon
I feel wherever I go that tomorrow is near
Tomorrow is here and always too soon

Time is so old and love so brief
Love is pure gold and time a thief

We're late, darling, we're late
The curtain descends, everything ends
Too soon, too soon
I wait, oh darling, I wait
Will you speak low to me
Speak love to me
And soon

Time is so old and love so brief
Love is pure gold and time a thief

We're late, darling, we're late
The curtain descends
Everything ends too soon, too soon
I wait, darling, I wait
Will you speak low to me
Speak love to me
And soon
And soon
Speak low, speak low
Speak low, speak low

Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most

(Demo / Ella Fitzgerald / Come Away With Me 20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition)

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

Steer Your Way

(Leonard Cohen / Here it is LP)

Steer your way past the ruins of the Altar and the Mall
Steer your way through the fables of Creation and The Fall
Steer your way past the Palaces that rise above the rot
Year by year, month by month, day by day, thought by thought

Steer your heart past the Truth you believed in yesterday
Such as Fundamental Goodness and the Wisdom of the Way
Steer your heart, precious heart, past the women who you bought
Year by year, month by month, day by day, thought by thought

Steer your way through the pain that is far more real than you
That smashed the Cosmic Model, that blinded every view
And please don't make me go there, though there be a God or not
Year by year, month by month, and day by day, thought by thought

They whisper still, the ancient stones, the blunted mountains weep
As he died to make men holy, let us die to make things cheap
And say the Mea Culpa, which you probably forgot
Year by year, month by month, day by day, thought by thought

Steer your way, O my heart, though I have no right to ask
To the one who was never, never equal to the task
Who knows he's been convicted, who knows he will be shot
Year by year, month by month, day by day, thought by thought

They whisper still, the ancient stones, the blunted mountains weep
As he died to make men holy, let us die to make things cheap
And say the Mea Culpa, which you gradually forgot
Year by year, month by month, day by day, thought by thought

Month by month, day by day, thought by thought
Month by month, day by day, thought by thought

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

Strangers

( The Kinks Cover / Live At Living Room EP )

Where are you going I don't mind
I've killed my world and I've killed my time
So where do I go what do I see
I see many people coming after me

So where are you going to I don't mind
If I live too long I'm afraid I'll die
So I will follow you wherever you go
If your offered hand is still open to me

Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two we are one

So you've been where I've just come
From the land that brings losers on
So we will share this road we walk
And mind our mouths and beware our talk

'Till peace we find tell you what I'll do
All the things I own I will share with you
And if I feel tomorrow like I feel today
We'll take what we want and give the rest away

Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two we are one

Holy man and holy priest
This love of life makes me weak at my knees
And when we get there make your play
'Cause soon I feel you're gonna carry us away

In a promised lie you made us believe
For many men there is so much grief
And my mind is proud but it aches with rage
We'll take what we want and give the rest away

Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two we are one

Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two we are one

Summertime Blue

(Norah Jones Feat. John Legend)

Summertime, summertime, summertime blue
You took all my lovin'
Summertime, summertime, summertime, it's true
I'm still thinking of you
Left you in a daydream
Now you're washing over me
Summertime, summertime, summertime blue

Thought I was feeling good, I was on a roll
Didn't let it show, but I was falling for you
Splashing, laughing, loving just like a fool
Was there an undertow when I pulled you close

And now I'm wondering
Your castles crumbling too

Summertime, summertime, summertime bluе
You took all my lovin'
Summertime, summertimе, summertime, it's true
I'm still thinking of you
Left you in a daydream
Now you're washing over me
Summertime, summertime, summertime blue
Yeah
Do you feel it too

I still see the sunlight dancing off your hair
But I didn't dare
Let you catch me dreaming
My mind was running wild
In the heat of your smile
Now, it's been a while
Since I heard from you

And now I'm wondering
Were you just passing through

Summertime, summertime, summertime blue (Feelin' fine)
You took all my lovin'
Summertime, summertime, summertime, it's true (Doin' time)
I'm still thinking of you
Oh, left you in a daydream (Yeah)
Now you're washing over me
Summertime, summertime, summertime blue
Yeah, I feel it too

Summertime, summertime, summertime, it's true
I'm still thinking of you
Oh, left you in a daydream
Now you're washing over me
Summertime, summertime, summertime blue
Oh, blue
All because of you

Sweet Dreams

( Jim Campilongo - American Hips LP - 2003 )

Sweet dreams of you every night I go through
Why can't I forget you and start my life anew
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
You don't love me, it's plain I should know

I'll never wear your ring I should hate you
The whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

Sweet dreams of you things I know can't come true
Why can't I forget the past start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

Take It Away

(Feat. Tarriona "Tank" Ball)

Take it away
Take it away from
Take it away from the people in the streets
Give it away
Give it away to
Give it away to the others that you meet

History becomes what we make it
Something doesn't fit the bill, we'd fake it
If you really want something you take it
Kindness becomes something we've shaken

For the people that have, don't know what they've gained
Looking for sun, but it only rains
In the heat of the day, I washed it away
Gotta find a way to make it better
In the dead of the night searching for fame
In the glitz and the light, the ugly remains
Looking for sun, but standing in rain
I find a way to make a real change

History will be what we make it
Something doesn't fit the bill, we're not gonna fake it
If we really need something we'll have to take it
Honesty won't be something we shake

Take it away
Take it away from
Take it away from the people in the streets
Give it away
Give it away to
Give it away to the others that you meet

For the people that have, don't know what they've gained
Looking for sun, but it only rains
In the heat of the day, I washed it away
Gotta find a way to make it better
In the dead of the night searching for fame
In the glitz and the light, the ugly remains
Looking for sun, but standing in rain
I find a way to make a real change

I can see the sun

Talk To Me Of Mendocino

( Kate & Anna McGarrigle / Celebrating the Work of Kate McGarrigle LP )

I bid farewell to the state of old New York
My home away from home
In the state of New York I came of age
When first I started roaming

And the trees grow high in New York state
And they shine like gold in Autumn
Never had the blues from whence I came
But in New York state I caught 'em

Talk to me of Mendocino
Closing my eyes I hear the sea
Must I wait, must I follow
Won't you say "Come with me"
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
And it's on to Southbend, Indiana
Flat out on the Western plains
Rise up over the Rockies and down on into California
Out to where but the rocks remain

And let the sun set on the ocean
I will watch it from the shore
Let the sun rise over the redwoods
I'll rise with it till I rise no more

Talk to me of Mendocino
Closing my eyes, I hear the sea
Must I wait, must I follow
Won't you say "Come with me"
Won't you say "Come with me"

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

Tennessee waltz

( Cover - Stewart/King )

I was dancin' with my baby to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I just happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one
And while they were dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart from me

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
And I knew just how much I had lost
I have lost my little darlin'
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
And I knew just how much I had lost
I have lost my little darlin'
The night they were playing
The beautiful beautiful Tennessee Waltz
The Tennessee Waltz

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 Only Time (First Sessions Outtakes)

(Come Away With Me 20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition)

See you, smiling
I see you, walking
Up the street
To me
If the only way that I’m okay
Is if you stay with me
If the only time that you’ll be mine
If the only time is now

Then don’t keep
My company
I’ll only need what will never be

Ohhhh ohh ohhh

Somedays are so slow
Somedays I just don’t know
What will come of it
If the only way that I’m okay
Is if you stayed with me
If the only time that you’ll be mine
If the only time is now

Then don’t keep
My company
I’ll only need what will never be

The Sun Won't Set

(Anoushka Shankar feat. Norah Jones / Traces Of You LP)

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

The worst

( Cover - Mick Jagger/Keith Richards )

Well I said from the first
That I, I'm the worst kind of guy
For you to be around
Tear me apart
Including this old heart
That is true
And never ever let you down

You should'nt stick with me
You trust me too much, you see
Take all the pain
It's yours anyway
Get out kid

Oh put the blame on me
You ought to pass, you see
Oh somewhere outside
I threw
Love aside
And now
It's a tragedy

I said from the first
That I, I'm the worst kind of guy
For you to be around

This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)

(Talking Heads cover / BADBADNOTGOOD feat. Norah Jones / Everyone's Getting Involved: A Tribute To Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense compilation)

Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb, born with a weak heart
I guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground, head in the sky
It's okay, I know nothing's wrong
Nothing

Hi yo
I got plenty of time
Hi yo
You got light in your eyes

And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money, aways for love
Cover up and say goodnight
Say goodnight

Home is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home, she lifted up her wings
I guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from another
Did I find you or you find me
There was a time before we were born
If someone asks, this is where I'll be
Where I'll be

Hi yo
We drift in and out
Hi yo
Sing into my mouth

Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view
I'm just an animal looking for a home and
Share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me 'til my heart stops
Love me 'til I'm dead
Eyes that light up, eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots, hit me on the head

Traces Of You

(Anoushka Shankar feat. Norah Jones / Traces Of You LP)

Traces of you
Linger like a tear drop
Fresh upon the air
My heart sings for you
Play me like a rain cloud
Sounds upon the air
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Traces of you
Linger like a tear drop
Fresh upon the air
My heart sings for you
Play me like a rain cloud
Sounds upon the air...

Unchained Melody

(The Righteous Brothers / Resistance Radio: The Man in the High Castle LP)

Oh, my love
My darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time

And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine

I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me

I need your love
Oh, I need your love
God speed your love to me, ooh
To me

Unsaid

(Anoushka Shankar feat. Norah Jones / Traces Of You LP)

"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

( Live )

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 / Come Away With Me 20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition)

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

( Jesse Harris - Secret sun LP - 2003 )

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

What would I do

(Come Away With Me 20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition)

Don't decieve me
Please don't leave me
What would I do without you
To see me through

If you leave me
Then you'll grieve me
What would I do without you
To see me through

What would I do
I wanna know
What would I do
Where would I go

How you please me
When you squeeze me
What would I do without you
To see me through

What would I do
I wanna know
What would I do
Where would I go

Yes I'm crazy
About my baby (yes I am)
What would I do without you
To see me through

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 / Come Away With Me 20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition)

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 Am I Treated So Bad

(The Staple Singers cover / Norah Jones, Questlove & Christian McBride / Norah Jones Is Playing Along Podcast)

Why am I treated so bad
Why am I treated so bad
You know I'm all alone as I sing this song
Hear my call, I've done nobody wrong
But I'm treated so bad

I'm gonna walk past the master lane
Things I do seems to be in vain
You may be blind, you may be lame
Walk on out in the master lane
Though you treat me so bad

I'm gonna walk out in the master lane
Things I do, they seem to be in vain
You may be blind, you may be lame
Just walk on out, oh yeah, in the master lane
Though you treat me so bad
Though you treat me so bad

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 / Come Away With Me 20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition)

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

Your Cheating Heart

( Jerry Lee Lewis featuring Norah Jones 'Last Man Standing Live' )

Your cheatin' heart will make you weep
You'll cry and cry that I'm tryin' to sleep
But sleep won't come the whole night through
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you

When tears come down like fallin' rain
You'll toss around and call my name
You're going walk the floor the way I do
Your cheatin' heart catching up on you

When tears come down like fallin' rain
Oh you'll toss around and call my name
And you're going walk the floor the way I do
Your got a cheatin' heart that's gonne tell on you

Your cheatin' heart will tell on you
