Don't Know Why Lyrics

Artist: Norah Jones
Album: Come Away With Me

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 think she has such a unique voice. When you listen to this song I can just picture a person sitting on the beach as the sun rises, hugging their knees.
I love it.

This song reminds me of my long lost love that asked me to meet him in San Fransisco, I didn't go. It had been 25 years...I just divorced, he just married....when we were reunited...He lives in Italy.... This song was written for me.

Sometimes certain lubricants can help out in this department, if this song is about why she didn't orgasm with a guy she liked; which I heard was the correct interpretation of the song lyrics.
