My Dear Country

[ti:My Dear Country] [ar:Norah Jones] [al:Not Too Late] [00:00.00]Norah Jones - My Dear Country [00:12.59] Twas Halloween and the ghosts were out, [00:17.76]And everywhere they d go, they shout, [00:22.33]And though I covered my eyes I knew, [00:26.41]They d go away. [00:31.88]But fear s the only thing I saw, [00:36.20]And three days later was clear to all, [00:40.79]That nothing is as scary as election day. [00:51.32]But the day after is darker, [00:56.41]And darker and darker it goes, [01:00.63]Who knows, maybe the plans will change, [01:05.04]Who knows, maybe he s not deranged. [01:13.57]The news men know what they know, but they, [01:18.61]Know even less than what they say, [01:23.14]And I don t know who I can trust, [01:27.30]For they come what may. [01:32.27] cause we believed in our candidate, [01:37.09]But even more it s the one we hate, [01:41.33]I needed someone I could shake, [01:44.93]On election day. [01:50.59]But the day after is darker, [01:56.36]And deeper and deeper we go, [02:01.29]Who knows, maybe it s all a dream, [02:06.55]Who knows if I ll wake up and scream. [02:37.93]I love the things that you ve given me, [02:43.11]I cherish you my dear country, [02:47.56]But sometimes I don t understand, [02:52.23]The way we play. [02:57.27]I love the things that you ve given me, [03:02.52]And most of all that I am free, [03:07.14]To have a song that I can sing, [03:11.18]On election day.
