Norah Jones - How I Weep lyrics

How I, how I weep for the loss
And it creeps down my chin
For the heart and the hair
And the skin and the air
That swirls it'self around the bare

How I weep how I weep
How I weep and I sleep
And I march and I dance
And I sing and I laugh
And I laugh and I laugh

But inside but inside
Inside I weep inside I weep
And I weep for a loss that's so deep
That it hardens and turns into stone

There it stays and rolls through bones
'Til they crumble and the earth doesn't spin
It's got no way to win
And the stars stare down with sad clown faces
And they taunt me they taunt me

So I run and I run, and I run and I run
But, I've nowhere to go except into the sun
And I weep for the loss and
The loss weeps for me the loss weeps for me

Then it whacks me straight into
My stomach at night it's a hard blow to take
With all of it's might
And it tries to be sorry
It tries to be sweet
Then it runs out the door as if on two feet

And I stand there and wonder
When will I be free?
Then I realized I held it, it never held me
It had to hurt me to finally be gone
'Cause, I made the mistake of dragging it on

And I wonder, what kind of person am I
Who weeps for a loss but
Can't tell it goodbye?

How I how I weep
How I weep how I weep
How I how I weep
How I weep how I weep
