Norah Jones 4집 - The Fall (2009) by Norah Jones (보컬) on maniadb.com

In your message you said
you were goin' to bed
but I'm not done with the night
So I stayed up and read
but your words in my head
got me mixed up
so I turned out the light
And I don't know how
to slow it down
My mind's racing from chasing pirates
Well the man in there swings
while the silliest things
floppin around in my brain
And I try not to dream
but them possible schemes
swim around
wanna drown me in synch
And I don't know how
to slow it down
Oh my
mind's racing from chasing pirates

And I don't know how
to slow it down
Oh
My mind's racing from chasing pirates
My mind's racin' from chasing pirates
My mind's racing from chasing pirates

Something by the way he touched me
Was so slow
The way he'd put his arms around me
Even though
I'm feeling lonely
I'm feeling lonely
Don't understand the words he said
Made me do wrong
But now there is nothing else
in my head
And now it's stronger wish
he'd drift me alone
I wish he leave me
Cuz' I know trouble will follow
When I have to go
I have to go

Cuz' I know trouble will follow
When I have to go
I have to go
He makes me think that
I don't know me
So unsure
When I remember
all the things he showed me
And I want more I'm feeling lonely
oh oh oh I'm feeling lonely

While love seasons will undo your soul
Time forgives us and it takes control
We separate our things to put us back together

We're light as a feather
Heavy as the weather
If it was rainstorms

Put our hands together to plough obey
It's like a show was over
But we're too scared to walk away
All for the better
Worst for the way

We're light as a feather
Got you and I together

Meanwhile inside of me it was rainin' storms, hm,
You didn't know, hm
God bless your soul

We're light as a feather
Heavy as the weather
We're light as a feather
Got you and I together

I'll pretend my heart's not on fire
If you steal my true love's name
Broke down subway in this city of spires
Tape your picture over his in the frame



We'll imagine we're sleeping revolvers
Shotgun wedding in a strange SoHo
Our chambers hold silvery collars
Gun down werewolves wherever we go

We gun down werewolves wherever we go



Midnight phone calls in the back of a Mustang
Creased white pages torn right from the spine
Kissed my neck with a crooked, cracked fang
You always hoped one day you'd be mine



Threw our fathers on funeral pyres
I'm not sure that we were playing a game
Busted gasket in a field full of liars
No one noticed we set five boroughs aflame
No one noticed we set five boroughs aflame



Young blood
Young bone
Old ghosts
Go home

Band of gold with a diamond implied
You wrote letters that you never sent
I made promises I'll always deny
Now we'll never know what the other meant



Watch is ticking like a heartbeat gone berserk
Lost the chance to wind the key
Roosters are nothing but clucking clockwork
Our fears are only what we tell them to be
Our fears are only what we tell them to be



Drown the last of our matches
Burn the rest of each other
You were strongest when I ached for breath
Through the thick of smoke we'll finally smother



Young blood
Young bone
Old ghosts
Go home

If I touched myself
the way you touched me
If I could hold myself
the way you held me
Then I wouldn't need you
I wouldn't need you
No I wouldn't need you
to love me

If I could replace
the things you gave me
If I could see my face
without the tragedy
Then I wouldn't need you
I wouldn't need you
No I wouldn't need you
to love me
But I do
So come back
Come back

If you could see the way I act
When I'm alone
If you could hear my voice crack
over the phone
Then you'd know I need you
oh you'd I need you
Oh you'd know I need you
to love me

Hush now watch the stars fall
into a fire wall
I am waiting here
waiting for you to come home
Sinking embers glow
Melting icy snow
I am waiting here
waiting for you to come home

And I watch them burn
when will I ever learn
If I wait it doesn't mean
you will return

And I watch them burn
when will I ever learn
If I wait it doesn't mean
you will return

Now all the stars have gone
faded into cracks of dawn
and I'm still waiting here
waiting for you to come home

I'm waiting here
Waiting for you to come home

If all we talk about is money
Nothng will be funny, honey
And now that everyone's a critic
It's makin' my mascara runny

If we only talk about the 'Heathers'
Making it together is crazy
If we don't get a new situation
For our busted nation, we're lazy

But it's gonna be, it's gonna be
Please make it be, it's gonna be

Now if a princess becomes human
Don't stone her on a talk show, you'll ruin
'Cause there's a fine line between a skewer
And a decent sense of humor

Aim at the ones who've really hurt us
They should be arrseted for murders
But then all the cameras were turned on
Some skinny naked blond eating burgers

But it's gonna be, it's gonna be
It's gonna be, it's gonna be

It's gonna be, it's gonna be
Please make it be, let's make it be
It's gonna be, it's gonna be
It's gonna be

You've ruined me now but I liked it
But I'm ruined, do you have a plan
Cuz I'm in your hands

You ruined me now, Though I liked it
Now I'm ruined, I had no choice when I heard your voice
I know you said can't be mislead
Now I'm the one who's face is red.

You ruined me now, though I liked it
Now I'm ruined, Your chocolate eyes like buttons in piles.

You ruined me now, though I liked it
Now I'm ruined, I'm trying to part with what's in my heart.
You ruined me and how I thought I liked it
But I'm ruined my whole world is left turned upside down.

I heard me say I'm going away, But now I write you everyday.
You head me say I'm going away, But I'm on the floor outside your door

You ruined me now
You ruined me now
You ruined me now

You ruined me now, but I liked it
But I'm ruined, do you have a plan cuz I'm in your hands.

I'll go back to Manhattan
As if nothing ever happened
When I cross that bridge
It'll be as if this don't exist

Have a prince who is waiting
And a kingdom downtown
I'll go back to Manhattan
As if nothing ever happened

Don't have to speak at all
One look in your eyes
And I won't have to fall
Don't have to speak at all

Brooklyn holds you
And holds my heart too
What a fool I was to think
I could live in both worlds

Don't have to speak at all
One look in your eyes
And I won't have to fall
Don't have to speak at all

I should go back to Manhattan
It's just a train ride away
I know nothing about leaving
But I know I should do it today

Hey shall we wade through the room for the street
And finally to me
He asked me what I'm drinking
My friend johnny tugging on my sleeve
Asked if I wanna leave
And what I'm really thinking is

Why can't it be easy, easy
Why don't you leave me, leave me, leave me be

I can't see us swaying
I can't hear what you're saying

I'm sitting here stuck
And plastered to my seat
I think of a reason to leave
When you finally start speaking

I'll take a a long stroll
Walked down washington street
Half asleep on my feet
Half aware if I'm dreaming

I'll go home alone
A sinking stone
A switched-off telephone
I'll go on briefly
A frozen breeze
A fallen down factory

I still see us swaying
But I can't hear what you're saying

I just lost the plot
Got a little copped
Been a little knocked
I just hit a wall
Had a little fall
I felt a swinging wrecking ball

And why should that be
Why don't you tell me
Why don't you tell me

I'm sure you'll tell me
Why don't you tell me
I guess you'd tell me
Tell me

December come to me
I hope I can see
You not just in dreams
I will let you be
Why can't you believe
How much you really mean
December won't you come
Back with snow even sun
Don't say that it's done
I will carry you home
Take you from the loneliest
Place you have known
I will carry you home
Take me from the loneliest
Place I have known

I won't cry for you
when the night grows long
and I won't die for you
because you done me wrong
so tell your mama
I said hello
and that she raised you
too damn slow
you're too damn slow
too damn slow

because I've been waiting
for your time
and I've been missing
out on mine
so tell your father
that I said so long
and thanks for raising you
so damn wrong
so damn wrong
you're so damn wrong
so damn wrong

It's him or me
That's what he said
But I can't choose between a vegan and a pot head
So I chose you
Because you're sweet
And you give me lots of loving and you eat meat
And that's how you became my only man of the hour

You never lie and you don't cheat
And you don't have any baggage tied to your forefeet
Do I deserve
To be the one
Who will feed you breakfast, lunch and dinner and take you to the park at dawn
Will you really be
My only man of the hour

I know you'll never bring me flowers
Flowers, they will only die
And though you'll never take a shower together
I know you'll never make me cry
You'll never argue, you don't even talk
And I like the way you let me lead you when we go outside and walk
Will you really be
My only man of the hour
My only man of the hour
My only man of the hour

If all we talk about is money
Nothng will be funny, honey
And now that everyone's a critic
It's makin' my mascara runny

If we only talk about the 'Heathers'
Making it together is crazy
If we don't get a new situation
For our busted nation, we're lazy

But it's gonna be, it's gonna be
Please make it be, it's gonna be

Now if a princess becomes human
Don't stone her on a talk show, you'll ruin
'Cause there's a fine line between a skewer
And a decent sense of humor

Aim at the ones who've really hurt us

But then all the cameras were turned on
Some skinny naked blond eating burgers

But it's gonna be, it's gonna be
It's gonna be, it's gonna be

It's gonna be, it's gonna be
Please make it be, let's make it be
It's gonna be, it's gonna be
It's gonna be

But I'm ruined, do you have a plan cuz I'm in your hands.

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.

I lie awake at night and 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.
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.

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

When your fickle little 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 when you think of the fool you've been.
You're gonna cry, cry, cry.

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
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
'Cos 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
And if I live too long I'm afraid I'll die
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
