My Dear Country (Live)-Norah Jones

[00:13.41]'Twas Halloween and the ghosts were out, [00:18.66]And everywhere they'd go, they shout, [00:23.04]And though I covered my eyes I knew, [00:27.48]They'd go away. [00:33.03]But fear's the only thing I saw, [00:38.19]And three days later 'twas clear to all, [00:42.69]That nothing is as scary as election day. [00:56.37]But the day after is darker, [01:02.10]And darker and darker it goes, [01:08.46]Who knows, maybe the plans will change, [01:12.51]Who knows, maybe he's not deranged. [01:22.20]The news men know what they know, but they, [01:27.24]Know even less than what they say, [01:31.41]And I don't know who I can trust, [01:35.22]For they come what may. [01:40.68]'cause we believed in our candidate, [01:45.33]But even more it's the one we hate, [01:49.50]I needed someone I could shake, [01:52.77]On election day. [01:59.61]But the day after is darker, [02:05.28]And deeper and deeper we go, [02:08.16]Who knows, maybe it's all a dream, [02:16.50]Who knows if I'll wake up and scream. [02:54.24]I love the things that you've given me, [02:59.85]I cherish you my dear country, [03:04.53]But sometimes I don't understand, [03:09.18]The way we play. [03:15.18]I love the things that you've given me, [03:20.88]And most of all that I am free, [03:25.02]To have a song that I can sing, [03:29.85]On election day.
