Norah Jones - Not Too Late (2007) by Norah Jones (보컬) on maniadb.com

We met in a place I used to go
Now I just walk by it for show
Can't bear to go in without you, you know
Wish I could
Wish I could

But Annie is standing in the door
With a look on her face I can't just ignore
She tells me that her heart is sore
And pulls me in
She pulls me in

She says "love in the time of war is not fair"
"he was my man but they didn't care"
"sent him far away from here"
"no goodbye"
"no goodbye"

I don't tell her that I once loved you too
Or about all the things we used to do
I kiss her hair and think of you
Walking down
The road you found

We met in a place I used to go
Now I only walk by it slow
Can't bear to go in without you, you know
Wish I could
Wish I could
Wish I could
Wish I could

We're an oyster cracker on the stew
And the honey in the tea
We're the sugar cubes, one lump or two,
In the black coffee
The golden crust on an apple pie
That shines in the sun at noon
We're a wheel of cheese high in the sky
But we're gonna be sinkin' soon

In a boat that’s built of sticks and hay
We drifted from the shore
With a captain who's too proud to say
That he dropped the oar
Now a tiny hole has sprung a leak
In this cheap pontoon
Now the hull has started growing weak
And we're gonna be sinkin' soon

We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon
We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon
Everybody hold your breath cuz
We're gonna be sinkin' soon

We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon
We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon
Everybody hold your breath and
Down and down we go.....

Like the oyster cracker on the stew
The honey in the tea
The sugar cubes, one lump or two?
No thank you none for me.
We're the golden crust on an apple pie
That shines in the sun at noon
Like the wheel of cheese high in the sky
Well.... We're gonna be sinkin' soon

The sun doesn't like you, you always get burned
Stay in the shade and watch the world turn.
Better find a new place to lay on the ground
Can't stay where you are or you're gonna be found

And time won't pass you by
And I won't tell you lies

So tonight...we can build a fire
In the open field past the razor wire.
Sneak by the dogs when they go to sleep
Bring part of yourself that you'll let me keep

Cuz time won't pass us by
And I won't tell you lies
Someday i will ask you why... But not now

And time won't pass us by
And you won't tell me lies.
Someday we all have to die.
But not now

You've got a famous last name
But you're not to blame
Baby I see you for who you are

A one time apple queen
And a one time tramp
And an old time movie star

You're a shell picker
Of the pickiest kind
But you always find the ones to keep

And in or out of bed
You keep you're head wide open
Cuz ya don't only dream when you're asleep

Like a child...you remember
But i forget...all my dreams

I used to think
That someday I'd relax a little
And be more like you

Then I realized
How silly that thought was
Needed to stand in my own shoes

And from over here
I can see you cry
Don't even try...to pretend

Cuz he's hurt you
So many times
Baby don't go back again

Like a child, you forget
But i remember everything...and every sting.


And through all the games
We'll both stay the same
As we've always been
Through the fat and thin
Until the end
Until the end

Help me breath
Help me believe
You seem really glad that I am sad

You are not my friend
I cannot pretend that you are

You made it sting
Your voice is ringing
Just like the boys who laughed at me in school

You are not my friend
I cannot pretend anymore

You found a place
No one should ever go

I'll be o.k.
Cuz when I back away
I'm gonna keep the handle of you're gun in sight

Yesterday I saw the sun shining
And the leaves were falling down softly
My cold hands needed a warm warm touch
And I was thinking about you

But here I am looking for signs to lead me
You hold my hand, but do you really need me
I guess its time for me to let you go,
But I'll be thinking about you
I'll be thinking about you

So when you sail across the ocean waters
And you reach the other side safely
Could you smile a little smile for me
Cuz I'll be thinking about you
I'll be thinking about you
I'll be thinking about you
I'll be thinking about you

He's got a broken voice and a twisted smile
Guess he's been that way for quite awhile
Got blood on his shoes and mud on his brim
Did he do it to himself or was it done to him

People say he don't look well
But all he needs from what i can tell
Is someone to help wash away all the paint
From his purple hands before it gets too late

I saw him stand alone... Under a broke street light
So sincere....singing silent night
But the trees were full...and the grass was green
It was the sweetest thing i had ever seen

He may move slow
But that don't mean he's going nowhere
He may be moving slow
But that don't mean he's going nowhere

Twas' Halloween and the ghosts were out
And everywhere they'd go they shout
And though I covered my eyes i knew
They'd go away

But fear's the only thing I saw
And three days later was clear to all
That nothing is as scary as election day

But the day after is darker
And darker and darker it goes
Who knows maybe the plans will change
Who knows maybe he's not deranged

Th news men know what they know but they
Know even less than what they say
And i don't know who i can trust
For the the come what may

Cuz we believed in our candidate
But even more it’s the one we hate
I needed someone I could shake
On election day

But the day after is darker
And deeper and deeper we go
Who knows maybe it's all a dream
Who knows if I'll wake up and scream

I love the things that you've given me
I cherish you my dear country
But sometimes I don't understand
The way we play

I love the things that you've given me
And most of all that I am free
To have a song that I can sing
On election day

Wake me up when it’s over
Wake me up when it’s done
When he's gone away and taken everything
Wake me up

Wake me up when the skies are clearing
When the water is still
Cuz I will not watch the ships sail away so
Please say you will

If it were any other day
This wouldn't get the best of me

But today I’m not so strong
So lay me down with a sad song
And when it stops then you know I've been
Gone too long

But don't shake me awake
Don't bend me or I will break
Find me somewhere between my dreams
With the sun on my face

I will still feel it later on
But for now I’d rather be asleep

I'm too foggy today
To know what you're sayin'
Your lips are moving so fast
And i just keep praying
For them to slow down
So I can make some sense
Of the words that are pouring out
Of your crooked spout

Last night was a record to be broken
It broke all over the kitchen floor
Oh no don't you go…I’m coming back with a rag
To wipe away the haze from the days
We've forgotten all about

So be my somebody tonight
Be the one who'll hold me tight
Honey please please please
Cuz I've been so all alone
And no one will pick up the phone
So honey please please stay

I held your head up do you remember?
When you wanted to make a blanket outta me
Oh I can't lie....I been keeping score
And it's your turn to ring me out
And lay me down to dry

So be my somebody tonight
Be the one who'll hold me tight
Honey please please please
Cuz I've been so all alone
And no one will pick up the phone
So honey please please stay
Honey please stay
Honey please stay

You an me and
Me and you
In my little room
There’s room enough for us to do
The things we like to do

Oops! I hit my elbow on the doorknob
Its right there
It's by the bed next to my head
But I don't even care

There are stars up on the wall
And they all glow in the dark
And we can hear the children playing
Outside in the park.

There’s bars on the window
And if there were a fire
We'd burn up for sure
But that’s just fine by me cuz
We would be together ever more.

In this little room
In the big city we're so far
From the people that we knew in
My big ol' blue car

But if we stick together
Then I know we'll be ok
Cuz when it gets too cold outside
This room is where we'll stay

She walked by the ocean
And waited for a star
To carry her away

Feeling so small
At the bottom of the world
Lookin’ up to god

Tries to take deep breaths
To smell the salty sea
As it moves over her feet

The water pulls so strong
No one is around
And the moon is looking down

Sayin’
Rosie come with me
Close your eyes and dream

The big ships are rolling on
Lighting up the night
And she calls out, but they just her pass by

The waves are crashin'
But not making a sound
Just mouthing along

Sayin’
Rosie come with me
Close your eyes and dream
Close your eyes and dream
Close your eyes and dream

Tell me how you've been
Tell what you've seen
Tell me that you'd like to see me too

Cuz my heart is full of no blood
My cup is full of no love
Couldn't take another sip even if I wanted

But its not too late
Not too late for love

My lungs are out of air
Yours are holding smoke.
And it's been like that for so long

I've seen people try to change
And I know it isn't easy
But nothin' worth the time ever is

And it’s not too late
It's not too late for love
For love
For love
For love
