[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.
