She walked by the ocean
And waited for a star
To carry her away

Feelin' so small
At the bottom of the world
Lookin' up to God

Tries to take deep breaths
To smell the salty sea
As it moves over her feet

The water pulls so strong
And no one is around
And the moon is looking down

Sayin', "Rosie, come with me
Close your eyes and dream"

The big ships are rollin'
And lighting up the night
And she calls out, but they just her pass by

The waves are crashin'
But not making a sound
Just mouthing along

Sayin', "Rosie, come with me
Close your eyes and dream"
Close your eyes and dream
Close your eyes and dream

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.
