Come Away With Me

Norah Jones · Come Away with Me

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song

Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they canÂ’t tempt us
With their lies

And I wanna walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So wonÂ’t you try to come

Come away with me and weÂ’ll kiss
On a mountain top
Come away with me
And IÂ’ll never stop loving you

I wanna wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While IÂ’m safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me
