Norah Jones - Don't Know Why

[Verse 1]

I waited till 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

[Verse 2]

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

[Bridge 2]

My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever

[Verse 3]

Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road alone

[Verse 4]

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 don't know why I didn't come
