How I Weep - Norah Jones

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 itself 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 its 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
