I waited 'til I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand
My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever
Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road alone
My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever
Something has to make you run
I don't know why I didn't come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come

这是一首蓝调爵士，旋律忧伤曲调柔和，在诺拉·琼斯独特的，有些微沙哑的唱腔下，这首歌被唱出了灵魂的渲染，不知不觉就陷入了其中，你会感叹原来歌曲也可以听出美妙来。这首歌对我还有另一层意义，她是我跟老公相识期间共同非常喜爱的歌，那时候我们经常一起听。有一天老公开车带我去吃晚饭，收音机里突然播放这首歌，老公跟我都听哭了。
