01-DON'T KNOW WHY – C1 La M
Norah Jones
I waited 'til I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand
My heart is
drenched in wine
But you'll be
on my mind
Fo-re-ver
Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road alone
My heart is
drenched in wine
But you'll be
on my mind
Forever
Piano break
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
02-CREEPIN’ IN – C1 La M
Norah Jones
There’s a big ol' hole
That's gone right through the sole
Of this old shoe
And the water on the ground
Ain’t got no place else it found
So it's only got one thing left to do
Creep on in
Creep on in
And once it has begun
Won’t stop until it’s done –
Sneaking in
There’s a silver moon
That came just a little too soon
For me to bare
Shines brightly on my bed
And the shadows over head
Won’t let me sleep as long as they're there
Creep on in
Creep on in
And once it has begun
Won’t stop until it’s done –
Sneakin’ in (X2)
There’s a big ol' hole
That goes right through my sole
And that ain’t nothin’ new
So long as you’re around
And got no place else you’ve found
There’s only one thing left to do
Creep on in
Creep on in
And once you have begun
Don’t stop until you’re done –
Sneakin’ in (X3)
03-TURN ME ON – C1 La M
Norah Jones
Like a flower
Waiting to bloom
Like a lightbulb
In a dark room
I'm just sittin' here
waiting for you
To come on home
and turn me on
Like the desert
Waiting for the rain
Like a school kid
Waiting for the spring
I'm just sittin' here
waiting for you
To come on home
and turn me on
04-SINKIN' SOON – Mi m
Norah Jones
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
Cos 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.
05-BESSIE SMITH
Norah Jones
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
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
06-THINKING ABOUT YOU
Norah Jones
Yesterday
I saw the sun shinin',
And the leaves were fallin'
down softly,
My cold hands
needed a warm, warm touch,
And I was thinkin'
about you.
Here I am
lookin' for signs of leaving,
You hold my hand,
but do you really need me?
I guess it's time
for me to let you go,
And I've been thinkin'
about you,
07-UNTIL THE END
Norah Jones
You've got a famous last name
But you're not to blame
Baby I see you for who you are
A one time apple queen,
And a one time tramp,
And an old time movie star.
You're a shell picker,
Of the pickiest kind,
But you always find the ones to keep.
And in or out of bed,
You keep you're head wide open,
'cause you don't only dream when you're asleep.
Like a child ... you remember,
But I forget ... all my dreams.
I used to think,
That someday I'd relax a little,
And be more like you.
Then I realized,
How silly that thought was,
Needed to stand in my own shoes.
And from over here,
I can see you cry,
Don't even try ... to pretend.
'cause he's hurt you,
So many times,
Baby don't go back again.
Like a child, you forget,
But I remember everything and every sting.
And through all the games,
We'll both stay the same,
As we've always been,
Through the fat and the thin,
Until the end,
Until the end...
