[Intro]
And we finally awake
And walk into the sunny day
I can see it in your face
That everything will be okay
'Cause you never hurt
Someone who wants to learn
To be your slave

[Verse 1]
And the night is oh so clear
The clouds will never reappear
But the moon is out of place
And all the trees are looking strange

[Chorus]
And feeling the warmth of your breath
Against my skin
Now I hope this isn't only just a dream

[Verse 2]
So we run into a church
The people all look the same
And the sun is in my eyes
I'm trying hard to scream your name

[Chorus 2]
My stomach starts to churn
And the curtains in the wind begin to burn
And now I know it's all a dream

[Verse 3]
Enemy sleeps with me night or day
Enemy teases every minute in my mind
He's in my mind
Enemy throws all my money away
Enemy knows how to make me always pay
I always pay
Enemy lies don't cross my mind
Enemy talks, talking so nice and kind
So nice and kind

[Verse 4]
And how long does it take
To fight off this weakness?
And tell him
To guard me
'Cause God knows I'm sorry

[Outro]
Mmm
Ooo

Norah Jones

The daughter of Beatles collaborator Ravi Shankar (her estranged father whom she had little contact with until her adult years), Norah Jones came into her own after studying at Dallas Booker T. Washington School of the Arts. She later spent two years at the University of North Texas' lauded music program in Denton, Texas – alma mater of such diverse music greats as rocker Don Henley and stalwarts Roy Orbison and Pat Boone.

Jones' goal was always to get to New York City, and she succeeded there after years of tough starter music gigs and the almost-cliched waitress jobs. Her debut album Come Away With Me won 5 Grammy Awards for Jones herself, including “Album of the Year”, and “Record of the Year.” Additionally, it won 3 Grammy awards for “Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical,” “Producer of the Year, Non-Classical,” and “Song of the Year,” for collaborators on the album. It has been Certified 10x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA, having sold 10 million albums.
