Song lyrics

• Something has to make you run
  I don't know why I didn't come
  • "Don't Know Why", Come Away with Me (2002)

• Lonestar
  Where are you out tonight?
  This feeling I'm trying to fight
  It's dark and I think that I would give anything
  For you to shine down on me
  • "Lonestar", Come Away with Me (2002)

• How far you are I just don't know
  The distance I'm willing to go
  I pick up a stone that I cast to the sky
  Hoping for some kind of sign
  • "Lonestar", Come Away with Me (2002)

• If I were a painter
  I would paint my reverie
  If that's the only way for you to be with me
  • "Painter Song", Come Away with Me (2002)

• It never rains when you want it to
  You humble me, Lord
  • "Humble Me", Feels Like Home (2004)

• I can't hold on very long
  Forgive me, pretty baby, but I always take the long way home
  • "The Long Way Home", Feels Like Home (2004) [Misattributed: lyrics by Tom Waits]

• I want to walk with you
  On a cloudy day
  In fields where the yellow grass grows knee high
  • "Come Away With Me", Come Away With Me (2002)

• I want to wake up with the rain
  Falling on a tin roof
  While I'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
  • "Come Away With Me", Come Away With Me (2002)

• I love the things that you've given me
  I cherish you my dear country
  But sometimes I don't understand the way we play
  • "My Dear Country", Not Too Late (2007)
