11 The long way home - Norah Jones

Feels like home (2004)

The long way home - Norah Jones

Well I stumbled in the darkness
I'm lost and alone
Though I said I'd go before us
And show the way back home
There a light up ahead
I can't hold onto her arm
Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home

Money's just something you throw
Off the back of a train
Got a handful of lightening
A hat full of rain
And I know that I said
I'd never do it again
And I love you pretty baby but I always take the long way home

I put food on the table
And roof overhead
But I'd trade it all tomorrow
For The highway instead
Watch your back if I should tell you
Loves the only thing I've ever known
One thing for sure pretty baby I always take the long way home

You know I love you baby
More than the whole wide world
You are my woman
I know you are my pearl
Let's go out past the party lights
We can finally be alone
Come with me and we can take the long way home
Come with me, together we can take the long way home
Come with me, together we can take the long way home.

I loved it when tom did this song. But damn Norah can give him a run for his money.

[seansurlow]

Great song. Thanks for posting this.

Fine version of a fine Tom Waits song. Anyone ever imagined this as a punk song? Would be amazing :-P

[indiocharrua1]

She is just......that! What a talent!

[betolala]

I think this is her best album.

[MrKneller]

@rorymonkey  Tom wrote this specifically for her.

[humbertsin1994]

norah jones is amazing!!!

[orangegurlah]

norah truly has a soothing voice, laid back and very relaxing..

[tolvajakos]

the whole song just sounds like a johnny cash song (except for the singing), the guitar picking, the bass humming... everything

11-20-2011;Introduced to this album circa 2007,I knew I'd found a new pianist potentially better than the Pat Metheny group.Keep it up aunt Norah!-Eric Urscher.
