Song lyrics

Send "Don't Know Why" ringtones to your cell

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 
Forever 

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 

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

23 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal It seems that there is a love or hate thing with Norah Jones, ie you love her or hate her. Personaly I like her singing, but not all the songs are brilliant pieces. This isn't my favourite NJ song, but it's pretty good.

3 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I love norah jones as an artist. I think she has wonderful lyrics and a incredable voice! her music makes me sleepy,but that's a positive thing,because then you know that you really like the music and that it in some way touches your heart. norah jones is the best,but of course I respect the opinion of others. I think the song ''the long day is over'' is the best..i really can relax and 'unstress' to that song(' ')
