Norah Jones

I can't remember what I planned tomorrow
I can't remember when it's time to go
When I look in the mirror
Tracing lines with a pencil
I remember what came before

I wanted to think there was endless love
Until I saw the light dim in your eyes
In the dead of the night I found out
Sometimes there's love that won't survive

New York City
Such a beautiful disease
New York City
Such a beautiful,
Such a beautiful disease

Laura kept all her disappointments
Locked up in a box behind her closet door
She pulled the blinds and listened to the thunder
With no way out from the family store

We all told her things could get better
When you just say goodbye
I'll lay awake one more night
Caught in a vision I want to deny

And did I mention the note that I found
Taped to my locked front door
It talked about no regrets
As it slipped from my hand to the scuffed tile floor

I rode the train for hours on end
And watched the people pass me by
It could be that it has no end
Just an action junkie's lullaby

New York City

We were full of the stuff that every dream rested
As if floating on a lumpy pillow sky
Caught up in the whole illusion
That dreams never pass us by
Came to a tattooed conclusion
That the big one was knocking on the door
What started as a mass delusion
Would take me far from the place I adore

New York City

I believe, you say
Don't think, we stay
Drawn through the ebb
Lost in the flower

Beneath my breath, I confess
My world, loved less
The devil held the proof for me to know

I could only fight for the longest while
But with the truth out baby
I belong to you

I stoop, to find
My place, entwined
I took it to the bottom one more time

I could only fight for the longest while
But with the truth out baby
I belong to you

I could trip and I want you to know
Very time I think that I think I should go
I receive strange transmissions

I couldn't make a change
I might have known you had found
Another love
I sat at home all night
Bask in the lonely pale
Of my bedstand light

But through a tear in a curtain
In a cheap motel
I saw with jealous eyes
You made the call to lie
Deceptively yours

I saw a black cloud
I didn't hear a sound
Only the shell on the ground
There was a scream somewhere
And in the thick night air
I put the pedal down
As the sirens wailed
And I sat alone and prayed
Not knowing what was to come

But through a tear in a curtain
In a cheap motel
I saw with jealous eyes
You made the call to lie
Deceptively yours

I tried not to believe
Teh scene that I could see
It felt like days passez by
Before I truend away
I felt a dizzy sway
And the gun in my hand
Stood before a judge

He cleared his throat to say
"I won't give you no bail"
Schackled with chains or love
I knew that I had bought
My own coffin nails

I hear your sweet voice calling out my name
As I stare from a six foot cell
And from beyond I heard the words
Deceptively yours

Heart of mine,
Be still
You can play with fire,
But you'll get the bill
Don't let him know
Don't let him know that you love him
Oh, don't be a fool, don't be blind
Heart of mine

Heart of mine,
Go back home
You've got no reason to wander
No reason to roam
Don't let him see
Don't let him see that you need him
Oh, don't push yourself over the line
Heart of mine

(bridge)

Heart of mine,
Go back where you been
The only trouble with you
Is if you let him in
Don't let him hear
Don't let him hear where you're goin'
Oh, I'm tired of ties that bind
Heart of mine

(bridge)

Heart of mine,
So malicious and so full of guile
I give you an inch
And you take a mile
Don't let yourself fall
Don't let yourself stumble
Oh, do the time, don't do the crime
Heart of mine

Heart of mine

Oh, oh, oh

Heart of mine

I walk down the diamond studded concrete canyon
Nobody looked me in the eye
Tried to fly to the moon
Only made it to the sky
I was looking, looking for
I couldn't find a friend
Searching for a clear connection
Without a digital send

Ain't it just a little scary sometimes
To find the lies that you know to be true
I'll find you smiling about
Things you don't have to do

Bill doesn't call me anymore
I hear he's found religion
Big haired blonde apprentice beautician
And all the words and gesticulations that came before
Don't seem to mean a thing
You can feel fine to drop a dime
If you're ever hanging by a string

Ain't it just a little scary sometimes
To find the lies that you know to be true
I'll find you smiling about
Things you don't have to do

I hear voices crying out
Echoes on the boulevard
Contentious rambling incantations
Of some senile bard
There's too much going on around here
To keep my head from spinning
And this constant acceleration
Blurs any ties to the beginning

Ain't it just a little scary sometimes
To find the lies that you know to be true
I'll find you smiling about
Things you don't have to do

I can't remember what I planned tomorrow
I can't remember when it's time to go
When I look in the mirror
Tracing lines with a pencil
I remember what came before

I wanted to think there was endless love
Until I saw the light dim in your eyes
In the dead of the night I found out
Sometimes there's love that won't survive

New York City
Such a beautiful disease
New York City
Such a beautiful,
Such a beautiful disease

New York City

I tried so hard my dear to show that
you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing
I do is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome
past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your cold cold heart
Another love before my time made
your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now
for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said
that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind,
and melt your cold cold heart

There was a time when I believed
that you belonged to me
And now I know your heart
is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you,
the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your cold cold heart

Nightingale
Sing us a song
Of a love that once belonged
Nightingale
Tell me your tale
Was your journey far too long?
Does it seem like I'm looking for an answer
To a question I can't ask
I don't know which way the feather falls
Or if i should blow it to the left
Nightingale
Sing us a song
Of a love that once belonged
Nightingale
Tell me your tale
Was your journey far too long?
All the voices that are spinnin' around me
Trying to tell me what to say
Can I fly right behind you
And you can take me away

All the voices that are spinnin' around me
Trying to tell me what to say
Can I fly right behind you
And you can take me away

One flight down
There's a song on low
And your mind just picked up on the sound
Now you know you're wrong
Because it drifts like smoke
And it's been there playing all along
Now you know
Now you know
The reeds and brass have been weaving
Leading into a single noteIn this place
Where your arms unfold
Here at last you see your ancient face
Now you know
Now you knowThe cadence rolls in broken
Plays it over and then goesOne flight down
There's a song on low
And it's been there playing all along
Now you know
Now you know

Spinning, laughing, dancing to
her favorite song
A little girl with nothing wrong
Is all aloneEyes wide open
Always hoping for the sun
And she'll sing her song to anyone
that comes alongFragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin' to the ground
Without a soundCrooked little smile on her face
Tells a tale of grace
That's all her ownFragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin' to the ground
Without a soundSpinning, laughing, dancing to her favorite song
She's a little girl with nothing wrong
And she's all aloneA little girl with nothing wrong
And she's all alone

The sun just slipped its note below my door
And I can't hide beneath my sheets
I've read the words before so now I know
The time has come again for meAnd I'm feelin' the same way all over again
Feelin' the same way all over again
Singin' the same lines all over again
No matter how much I pretendAnother day that I can't find my head
My feet don't look they're my own
I'll try and find the floor below to stand
And I hope I reach it once againAnd I'm feelin' the same way all over again
Feelin' the same way all over again
Singin' the same lines all over again
No matter how much I pretendSo many times I wonder where I've gone
And how I found my way back in
I'll look around awhile for something lost
Maybe I'll find it in the endAnd I'm feelin' the same way all over again
Feelin' the same way all over again
Singin' the same lines all over again
No matter how much I pretend

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 its you who takes
i know it
i feel it, you do too
just listen
you'll hear it calling you

(repeat)

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song

Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can′t tempt us
With their lies

I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won′t you try to come

Come away with me and we′ll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I′ll never stop loving you

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

What am I to you
Tell me darling true
To me you are the sea
Fast as you can be
And deep the shade of blue
When you're feeling low
To whom else do you go
See I cry if you hurt
I'd give you my last shirt
Because I love you so

there if my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
I never want to part
I'm giving you the ball
When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
I love you when you're blue
Tell me darlin true
What am I to you

well if my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
Never wanna part
I'm givin you the ball
When I look in your eyes
I can feel
the butterflies
Could you find a
love in me
Could you carve me
in a tree
Don't fill my heart
with lies
I will love you
when you're blue
Tell me darlin true
What am I to you

If I were a painter
I would paint my reverie
If that's the only way for you to be with meWe'd be there together
Just like we used to be
Underneath the swirling skies for all to seeAnd I'm dreaming of a place
Where I could see your face
And I think my brush would take me there
But only ...If I were a painter
And could paint a memory
I'd climb inside the swirling skies to be with you
I'd climb inside the skies to be with you

Lonestar where are you out tonight?
This feeling I'm trying to fight
It's dark and I think that I would give anything
For yout o shine down on me
How far you are I just don't know
The distance I'm willing to go
I pick up a stone that I cast to the sky
Hoping for some kind of sign

Lonestar where are you out tonight?
This feeling I'm trying to fight
It's dark and I think that I would give anything
For yout o shine down on me

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
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

Bessie was more than just a friend of mine
We shared the good times and the bad
Many years have since passed me by
I still recall the best thing I ever had

Now I'm going down the road to see Bessie
Oooh... to see her soon
I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith
When I get there I'm a wondering what she'll do

Now all the crazy things I had to try
Well I tried them all and then some
If you look you one day you will find out
Where it is that your really coming from

Now I'm going down the road to see Bessie
Oooh... to see her soon
I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith
When I get there I'm a wondering what she'll do

(Instrumental)

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
Oooh... to see her soon
I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith
When I get there I'm a wondering what she'll do

I waited 'til I saw the sun
don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
When I saw the break of day
wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand
My heart is drenched in wine
you'll be on my mind Forever
Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road along
heart is drenched in wine
you'll be on my mind Forever

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

Ruler of my heart
rubber of my soul
where can you be
I wait patiently

My heart cries out
pain inside
where can you be
I wait patiently

When you're alone
going get rough
come back, come back, come back, baby
I've had enoug

Make me queen
happy again
here my cry
and ease my pain

When you're alone
going gets rough
come back, come back, come back, baby
I've had enough

Make me queen
happy again
hear me cry
ease my pain

I tried so hard my dear to show that
you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing
I do is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome
past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your cold cold heart
Another love before my time made
your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now
for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said
that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind,
and melt your cold cold heart

There was a time when I believed
that you belonged to me
And now I know your heart
is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you,
the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your cold cold heart

Close your eyes, close the door
You don't have to worry any more
Cause I'll be your baby tonight

Shut the lights and shut the shade
You don't have to be afraid
'Cause I'll be your baby tonight

Well, that mockingbird's gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
That big fat moon
Is gonna shine like a spoon
But we're gonna let it
You won't regret it

Kick your shoes off
And don't you fear
Bring that bottle over here
Cause I'll be your baby tonight

Well, that mockingbird's gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
That big fat moon
Is gonna shine like a spoon
But we're gonna let it
You won't regret it

Kick your shoes off
And don't you fear
Bring that bottle over here
Cause I'll be your baby tonight
Cause I'll be your baby tonight
Cause I'll be your baby tonight, tonight

There's a place that I know,
where the sycamores grow
And daffodils have their fun
Where the cares of the day
seem to slowly fade away
And the glow of the evening sun
Peace, when the day is done
If I go there real late
let my mind meditate
On everything to be done
If I search deep inside
let my conscience be my guide
Then the answers are sure to come
Don't have to worry none

When you find peace of mind,
leave your worries behind
Don't say that it can't be done
With a new point of view,
life's true meaning comes to you
And the freedom you seek is won
Peace is for everyone

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song

Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can′t tempt us
With their lies

I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won′t you try to come

Come away with me and we′ll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I′ll never stop loving you

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

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

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

Like a flower waiting to bloom
Like a lightbulb in a dark room
I'm just sitting here waiting for you
To come home and turn me on

Like the desert waiting for the rain
Like a school kid waiting for the spring
I'm just sitting here waiting for you
To come on home and turn me on

My poor heart, it's been so dark since you been gone
After all, you're the one who turns me off
You're the only one who can turn me back on

My hi-fi's waiting for a new tune
The glass is waiting for some fresh ice cubes
I'm just sitting here waiting for you
To come on home and turn me on
Turn me on

Sunrise sunrise
Looks like morning
in your eyes
But the clocks had
nine fifteen full hours
Sunrise sunrise
Couldn't tempt us
if it tried
Cause the afternoon's
already come and gone
And I said
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Do you
Surprise surprise
Couldn't find it
in your eyes
But I'm sure it's written
all over my face
Surprise surprise
There was something
I could hide
When I see we made through
another day
Then I say
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Do you

Now goodnight pull
its cover down
For me again
Hoo and if I'm right
It's the only way
to bring me back
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Do you
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Do you

What am I to you
Tell me darling true
To me you are the sea
Fast as you can be
And deep the shade of blue
When you're feeling low
To whom else do you go
See I cry if you hurt
I'd give you my last shirt
Because I love you so

there if my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
I never want to part
I'm giving you the ball
When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
I love you when you're blue
Tell me darlin true
What am I to you

well if my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
Never wanna part
I'm givin you the ball
When I look in your eyes
I can feel
the butterflies
Could you find a
love in me
Could you carve me
in a tree
Don't fill my heart
with lies
I will love you
when you're blue
Tell me darlin true
What am I to you

What did you say
I know I saw you saying it
My ears won't stop ringing
Long enough to hear
Those sweet words
What did you say
And now the day
The hour hand has spun
Before the night is done
I just have to hear
Those sweet words
Spoken like a melody
All your love
Is a lost balloon
Rising up
through the afternoon
'Til it could fit
on the head of a pin
Come on in
Did you have a
hard time sleeping
'Cause a heavy moon was
keeping you awake
And all I know is I'm just
glad to see you again

See my love
Like a lost balloon
Rising up
through the afternoon
And then you appear
What did you say
I know I saw you saying it
My ears won't stop ringing
Long enough to hear
Those sweet words
And your simple melody
I just have to hear
Your sweet words
Spoken like a melody
I just wanna hear
Those sweet words

Round and round carousel
He’s got you under its spell
Moving so fast going no where
Up and down Ferris wheel
Tell me how does it feel
To be so high
Looking down hereIs it lonely, lonely, lonely,

Did the clown make you smile
He was only your fool for a while
But now he’s come back home
And left you wandering

thereIs it lonely, lonely, lonely

I can't stop myself from callin'
Callin' out your name
I can't stop myself from fallin'
Fallin' back againIn the mornin'
Baby in the afternoon
Dark like the shady corners
Inside a violin
Hot like to burn my lips
I know I can't winIn the mornin'
Baby in the afternoon
I tried to quit you but I'm too weak
Wakin' up without you I can hardly speak at all

My girlfriend tried to help me
To get you off my mind
She tried a little tea and sympathy
To get me to unwindIn the mornin'
Baby in the afternoon
Funny how my favorite shirt
Smells more like you than me
Bitter traces left behind
Stains no one can seeIn the mornin'
Baby in the afternoon
You're gonna put me in an early grave
I know I'm your slave
whenever you call

I can't stop myself from callin'
Callin' out your name
I can't stop myself from fallin'
Fallin' back again Fallin' back again
Fallin' back again
Fallin' back again
Fallin' back again

Your eyes seek conclusion
in all this confusion of mine

Though you and I both know it's
only the warm glow of wine
That's got you to feeling this way, but I don't care,
I want you to stay
and hold me and tell me
you'll be here to love me today

Children are dancin', the gamblers are chancin' their all
The window's accusing the door of abusing the wall
But who cares what the night watchmen say
The stage has been set for the play
Hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today

The moon's come and gone
but a few stars hang on on to the sky
The wind's runnin' free
but it ain't up to me ask why
The poets are demanding their pay
They've left me with nothin' to say
cept hold me and tell me
you'll be here to love me today
Just hold me and tell me
that you'll be here to love me today
Just hold me and tell me
you'll be here to love me today

The current is strong from what I've heard
It'll wisk you down the stream
But there never seems to be much time
My toes just touched the water
My toes just touched the water
Daydreamed on the bank again
I was swimming with the fish
And I thought this time that it may be true
(But) My toes just touched the water
My toes just touched the water
My toes just touched the water
Walked a mile just to find the edge
Some place low enough to step right in
Now I'm here and I can't begin - to move

Walked a mile just to find the edge
Some place low enough to step right in
Now I'm here and I can't begin - to move
The spoiled sun up over there
It always has to have its way
And I know that the river's there to shelter me
My toes just touched the water
My toes just touched the water

Went out on a limb
Gone too far
Broken down at the side of the road
Stranded at the outskirts and sun's creepin' up

Baby's in the backseat
Still fast asleep
Dreamin' of better days
I don't want to call you but you're all I have to turn to
What do you say
When it's all gone away ?
Baby I didn't mean to hurt you
Truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart
No matter how hard you resist it
It never rains when you want it to

You humble me Lord
Humble me Lord
I'm on my knees empty
You humble me Lord
You humble me Lord
Please, please, please forgive me

Baby Teresa got your eyes
I see you all the time
When she asks about her daddy
I never know what to say
Heard you kicked the bottle
And helped to build the church
You carry an honest wage
Is it true you have somebody keeping you company ?
What do you say
When it's all gone away ?
Baby I didn't mean to hurt you
Truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart
No matter how hard you resist it
It never rains when I want it to
You humble me Lord
Humble me Lord
I'm on my knees empty
You humble me Lord
You humble me Lord
Please, please, please forgive me
You humble me Lord

Underground I’m waiting
Just below the crowded avenue
Watching red lights fading out of you
Oh the air feels heavy
Everything just passes by
And I think that I’m a little shy
Meet me outside above ground
I’ll see you on your way
I’ll be with you someday, someday

Drawing lines above my head
But the fan keeps spinning over me
Just my toughs to keep me company
Now I know I’m ready
For the night into a glass
And I sip it slow to make it last
Meet me outside above ground
I’ll see you on your way
I’ll be with you someday, someday

Meet me outside above ground
I’ll see you on your way
I’ll be with you someday
I’ll be with you someday
I’ll be with you someday
I’ll be with you someday

Well I stumbled in the darkness
I'm lost and alone
Though I said I'd go before us
And show the way back home
There a light up ahead
I can't hold onto her arm
Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home

Money's just something you throw
Off the back of a train
Got a handful of lightening
A hat full of rain
And I know that I said
I'd never do it again
And I love you pretty baby
but I always take the long way home
I put food on the table
And roof overhead
But I'd trade it all tomorrow
For The highway instead
Watch your back if I should tell you
Loves the only thing I've ever known
One thing for sure pretty baby
I always take the long way home

You know I love you baby
More than the whole wide world
You are my woman
I know you are my pearl
Let's go out past the party lights
We can finally be alone
Come with me and we can take the long way home
Come with me, together we can take the long way home
Come with me, together we can take the long way home

The prettiest thing
I ever did see
Was lightening from the top of a cloud
Moving through the dark a million miles an hour
With somewhere to be
So why does it seem
Like a picture
Hanging up on someone else's wall
Lately I haven't been myself at all
It's heavy on my mind I'm dreaming again
Like I've always been
And way down low
I knowThe prettiest thing
I ever did see
Was dusty as the handle on the door
Rusty as a nail stuck in the old pine floor
Looks like home to me

I'm dreaming again
Like I've always been
And way down low
I'm thinkin' of the prettiest thing

As I sit and watch the snow fallin' down
I don't miss you at all
I hear children playin', laughin' so loud
I don't think of your smile
So if you never come to me
You'll stay a distant memory

Out my window, I see lights going dark
Your dark eyes don't haunt me
And then I wonder who I am
Without the warm touch of your hand

And then I wonder who I am
Without the warm touch of your hand

As I sit and watch the snow fallin' down
I don't miss you at all
I don't miss you at all
I don't miss you at all

I waited 'til I saw the sun
don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
When I saw the break of day
wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand
My heart is drenched in wine
you'll be on my mind Forever
Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road along
heart is drenched in wine
you'll be on my mind Forever

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

Through these sleepless nights
I cry for you
And wonder who
Is kissing you
Oh these sleepless nights
Will break my heart in two
Somehow through the days
I don't give in
I hide the tears
That wait within
Oh but then through
sleepless night
I cry again
Why did you go
Why did you go
Don't you know
Don't you know
I need you
I keep hoping you'll
Come back to me
Oh let it be
Please let it be
Oh my love please end
These sleepless nights for me

Why did you go
Why did you go
Don't you know
Don't you know
I need you
I keep hoping you'll
Come back to me
Oh let it be
Please let it be
Oh my love please end
These sleepless nights for me
oh My love please end these
sleepless nights for me
oh My love please end these
sleepless nights for me

I turned your picture to the wall
I don't wanna see you anymore

You once were nice to me
Sugar and spice to me
Now you're as salty as you can be

We had some good times, I recall
We don't ever have them anymore
Now you just lie to me
Then say goodbye to me
I can't believe this is happening to me

When I call you on the phone
You are never there
And I sit home all alone
You don't even care

So I'll just turn your picture to the wall
I ain't gonna see you anymore
It's all a memory
Now it can never be
I'll never see you at all
'Cause I will just turn your picture to the wall

Sunrise sunrise
Looks like morning
in your eyes
But the clocks had
nine fifteen full hours
Sunrise sunrise
Couldn't tempt us
if it tried
Cause the afternoon's
already come and gone
And I said
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Do you
Surprise surprise
Couldn't find it
in your eyes
But I'm sure it's written
all over my face
Surprise surprise
There was something
I could hide
When I see we made through
another day
Then I say
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Do you

Now goodnight pull
its cover down
For me again
Hoo and if I'm right
It's the only way
to bring me back
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Do you
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Hooo hooo hooo hooo
Do you

What am I to you
Tell me darling true
To me you are the sea
Fast as you can be
And deep the shade of blue
When you're feeling low
To whom else do you go
See I cry if you hurt
I'd give you my last shirt
Because I love you so

there if my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
I never want to part
I'm giving you the ball
When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
I love you when you're blue
Tell me darlin true
What am I to you

well if my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
Never wanna part
I'm givin you the ball
When I look in your eyes
I can feel
the butterflies
Could you find a
love in me
Could you carve me
in a tree
Don't fill my heart
with lies
I will love you
when you're blue
Tell me darlin true
What am I to you

Will you tell me
That you need me
Am I afraid to not need you

Will you tell me
That you're sorry
Do I have to forgive too

Can I go out by myself
And be a lady all the time

If I don't know that I love you so
Can I not just let you down

Can I be strong
And still belong
If I'm not long
I'll 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 call me on 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 long
I'll sing my own song

If you want to
Go ahead and lay right down beside 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 long
I'll sing my own song

Can I be strong
And still belong
If I'm not long
I will sing my own song

I waited 'til I saw the sun

But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road along
heart is drenched in wine
you'll be on my mind Forever

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

내가 처음으로 사랑을 한 사람 처음으로 나를 웃게 만든 사람
늘 함께 웃고 함께 울고 함께 커 간
그 사람이 조금씩 변해
You don't smile at me
You don't talk to me
Never told me 더이상 나는
너에게 짐이 될 뿐인 것만 같은데
이젠 널 보내야 하는데
음음음 그런데도 헤어지잔 말을 Uh -
내게 차마 하지를 못하고
나를 볼 때마다 깊은 한숨만 쉬어
이제 더이상 못하겠어
보내야 하는데 그래야 하는데
그럴려고만 생각하면 눈물만 나 Uh -
이제 너 없이 혼자서 살아야 하는 걸 아는데
니가 없는 나를 생각하면 너무 아파
You don't smile at me
You don't talk to me
Never told me 더이상 나는
너에게 짐이 될 뿐인 것만 같은데
이젠 널 보내야 하는데
아니야 어쩌면 이러다가 또 다시 (아닌 걸 알잖아)
내가 더 잘하면 (제발 보내)
보내려고 몇번이고 애써봐도
(니 욕심으로 잡을 수는 없잖아)
너 없니는 자신이 없는데
You don't smile at me
You don't talk to me
Never told me 더이상 나는
너에게 짐이 될 뿐인 것만 같은데
이젠 널 보내야 하는데
그래 이젠 너를 보낼 거야
자신 없지만 보낼 거야
어차피 끝일 거라면 아름답게 기억되게
함께했던 그 많은 시간 서로의 맘 속에
간직할 수가 있게
돌아보면 웃을 수 있게 아프지만 보내줄게

I waited 'til I saw the sun

you'll be on my mind Forever

Something has to make you run

I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come

I can't remember what I planned tomorrow
I can't remember when it's time to go
When I look in the mirror
Tracing lines with a pencil
I remember what came before

I wanted to think there was endless love
Until I saw the light dim in your eyes
In the dead of the night I found out
Sometimes there's love that won't survive

New York City
Such a beautiful disease
New York City
Such a beautiful,
Such a beautiful disease

Laura kept all her disappointments
Locked up in a box behind her closet door
She pulled the blinds and listened to the thunder
With no way out from the family store

We all told her things could get better
When you just say goodbye
I'll lay awake one more night
Caught in a vision I want to deny

And did I mention the note that I found
Taped to my locked front door
It talked about no regrets
As it slipped from my hand to the scuffed tile floor

I rode the train for hours on end
And watched the people pass me by
It could be that it has no end
Just an action junkie's lullaby

New York City

We were full of the stuff that every dream rested
As if floating on a lumpy pillow sky
Caught up in the whole illusion
That dreams never pass us by
Came to a tattooed conclusion
That the big one was knocking on the door
What started as a mass delusion
Would take me far from the place I adore

New York City

There's a place that I know,
where the sycamores grow
And daffodils have their fun
Where the cares of the day
seem to slowly fade away
And the glow of the evening sun
Peace, when the day is done
If I go there real late
let my mind meditate
On everything to be done
If I search deep inside
let my conscience be my guide
Then the answers are sure to come
Don't have to worry none

When you find peace of mind,
leave your worries behind
Don't say that it can't be done
With a new point of view,
life's true meaning comes to you
And the freedom you seek is won
Peace is for everyone

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of youIt isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of youWhen you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come trueI need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you

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

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

I waited 'til I saw the sun
don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
When I saw the break of day
wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand
My heart is drenched in wine
you'll be on my mind Forever
Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road along
heart is drenched in wine
you'll be on my mind Forever

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

Spinning, laughing, dancing to
her favorite song
A little girl with nothing wrong
Is all aloneEyes wide open
Always hoping for the sun
And she'll sing her song to anyone
that comes alongFragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin' to the ground
Without a soundCrooked little smile on her face
Tells a tale of grace
That's all her ownFragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin' to the ground
Without a soundSpinning, laughing, dancing to her favorite song
She's a little girl with nothing wrong
And she's all aloneA little girl with nothing wrong
And she's all alone

I tried so hard my dear to show that
you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing
I do is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome
past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your cold cold heart
Another love before my time made
your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now
for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said
that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind,
and melt your cold cold heart

There was a time when I believed
that you belonged to me
And now I know your heart
is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you,
the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your cold cold heart

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song

Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can′t tempt us
With their lies

I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won′t you try to come

Come away with me and we′ll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I′ll never stop loving you

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

The summer days are gone too soon
You shoot the moon
And miss completely
And now you're left to face the gloom
The empty room that once smelled sweetly
Of all the flowers you plucked if only
You knew the reason
Why you had to each be lonely
Was it just the season?Now the fall is here again
You can't begin to give in
It's all overWhen the snows come rolling through
You're rolling too with some new lover
Will you think of times you've told me
That you knew the reason
Why we had to each be lonely
It was just the season

Like a flower
waiting to bloom
Like a lightbulb
in a dark room
I'm just sitting here
waiting for you
To come home and turn me on

Like the desert waiting
for the rain
Like a school kid waiting
for the spring
I'm just sitting here
waiting for you
To come on home and
turn me on

My poor heart
It's been so dark
since you been gone
After all you're the
one who turns me off
You're the only one
who can turn me back on
My hi fi's waiting for
a new tune
The glass is waiting for
some fresh ice cubes
I'm just sitting here
waiting for you
To come on home and
turn me on
Turn me on

Lonestar where are you out tonight?
This feeling I'm trying to fight
It's dark and I think that I would give anything
For yout o shine down on me
How far you are I just don't know
The distance I'm willing to go
I pick up a stone that I cast to the sky
Hoping for some kind of sign

Lonestar where are you out tonight?
This feeling I'm trying to fight
It's dark and I think that I would give anything
For yout o shine down on me

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
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
