In a WhisperNorah Jones

Featuring: Laszlo

Songwriter: Jerome Covington

Alone at half past midnight
She calls his name
Afraid that in the morning
That nothing will change
And where, where are the things that we fought for?
And where, where is the love?
And where, where are the answers
You told us would come from up above?
This is how the world ends, this is how the world ends
This is how the world ends in a whisper
She says she'd like to tell you just where they met
She says she's tryin' but she can't remember yet
Sometimes when she's at home and she's all alone
She thinks she hears him call her on the telephone
And she says
"Where, where is the love that you promised?
And where, where have you gone?
I've search for you but when I get near
You leave me on my own"
This is how the world ends, this is how the world ends
This is how the world ends in a whisper
This is how the world ends, this is how the world ends
This is how the world ends in a whisper
Some days she tries to find him but where should she look?
Should she look in the city or in a book?
And where, where are the things that we fought for?
And where, where is the love?
And where, where are the answers
You told us would come from up above?
This is how the world ends, this is how the world ends
This is how the world ends in a whisper

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.
