norah jones lyrics

Cold cold heart
I've tried so hard my dear to show That you're my every dream Yet you're afraid each thing I doIs just some evil scheme A memory from your lonesome past Keeps us so far apartWhy can't I free your doubtful mindAnd melt your cold cold heart Another love before my time Made your heart sad an' blue And so my heart is paying nowFor things I didn't do In anger unkind words are saidThat make the teardrops start Why can't I free your doubtful mindAnd melt your cold cold heartThere was a time when I believedThat you belonged to me But now I know your heart is shackledTo 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

The Nearness Of You
It's not the pale moon That excites me That thrills and delights me Oh no, It's just the nearness of you It isn't your sweet conversation That brings this sensation Oh no it's just the nearness of you When you're in my arms And i feel you so close to me All my wildest dreams came true Im in no soft light To enchant me If you will only grant me The right to hold you ever so tight And to feel in the night The nearness of you

Turn me on
Like a flower waiting to bloom Like a lightbulb in a dark room I'm just sitting 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 Im just sitting here waiting for you To come on home and turn me on My poor heart it's been so dark Since you've 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 is waiting for a new tune My 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

Come away with me
Come away with me in the nightCome away with meAnd I will write you a songCome away with me on a busCome away where they can't tempt usWith their liesI want to walk with you On a cloudy dayIn fields where the yellow grass grows knee-highSo won't you try to comeCome away with me and we'll kissOn a mountaintopCome away with meAnd I'll never stop loving youAnd I want to wake up with the rainFalling on a tin roofWhile I'm safe there in your armsSo all I ask is for youTo come away with me in the nightCome away with me

Don't know why
I waited 'til I saw the sunI don't know why I didn't comeI left you by the house of funI don't know why I didn't comeI don't know why I didn't comeWhen I saw the break of day I wished that I could fly awayInstead of kneeling in the sandCatching teardrops in my handMy heart is drenched in wineBut you'll be on my mindForeverOut across the endless seaI would die in ecstasyBut I'll be a bag of bonesDriving down the road alongMy heart is drenched in wineBut you'll be on my mindForeverSomething has to make you runI don't know why I didn't comeI feel as empty as a drumI don't know why I didn't comeI don't know why I didn't comeI don't know why I didn't come

I've got to see you again
Lines on your face dont bother meDown in my chair when you dance over me I cant help myself Ive got to see you again Late in the night when Im all alone And I look at the clock and I know youre not home I cant help myself Ive 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 wont go for any of those things To not touch your skin is NOT why I sing I cant help myself Ive got to see you again I could almost go there... No I wont go to share you with them But oh even though I know where youve been I cant help myself Ive got to see you again
