WaitNorah Jones

Featuring: Laszlo

Songwriter: Jerome Covington

Drivin' at night, you feel as if you're blind
The sun is gone and it's stuck in your mind
You look to the morning with expectation
Anticipation

When you feel the dark coming and you know that it's here
You feel your spirit sing, you know there's nothing to fear
I'm here by your side, I've got to no where to go
So take your time, drive slow, listen to the radio
Talk if you want, if don't just change the station
I got patience

I tell myself wait
Wait till the sun goes down
Wait and you'll come around
And you'll smile for everyone
I'll make you a place
A place where the shadows fall
Can be anyone or no one at all
Just tell me what you want

I know, sometimes you feel the need to beware
I know that you scared that I care
But I wonder who you're with when you turn out the lights
Who do you think of at night

When you feel the dark coming and you know that it's here
I've been there before and you've got nothing to fear
I'll make you a place where the shadows fall
And you can be anyone or no one at all
We'll take solace from the burning sun
Let me be there for you just this once

I tell myself wait
Wait till the sun goes down
Wait and you'll come around
And you'll smile for everyone
I'll make you a place
A place where the shadows fall
Can be anyone or no one at all
Just tell me what you want

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.
