THANK YOU NORAH JONES
O gifted Norah Jones:
You fill my empty nights
When I crave sweet company
Of friends who once were here
And a lover whom fate has chosen
To keep us apart and shed tears
When the heart cannot bear it no more:
When it can't control the pain of parting.
You sing so melodiously:
"Come Away With Me In The Night..."
But your song recreates ripples
Like a pebble thrown in a still lake
Or a silent pond in the middle of the night.
My beloved, rare woman and I,
Cannot follow your suggestion of
Coming "Away In The Night".
We would love to but it is
Easier said than done.
You O talented singer,
Just like Chris de Burgh's "Sailor"
Can offer hopes to hearts and minds
Rent apart by cruel separation.
Anyway, let me thank you,
For the few moments of comfort you provide
With your "Come Away With Me In The Night".
