Norah Jones; Willie Nelson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
How far you are I just don't know
The distance I'm willing to go
Hoping for some kind of sign
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
For you to shine down on me
The lyrics of "Lonestar" by Norah Jones and Willie Nelson seem to speak of a character who is searching for a sense of connection and direction in the world. The first verse begins with the singer wondering about the whereabouts of the Lone Star, a symbol of hope and guidance that is said to shine over Texas. The mood of the song is contemplative and somber, as the character comes to terms with feeling lost and alone. The lyrics convey a sense of yearning and longing, as the character hopes for the light of the Lone Star to shine down on them and provide some sense of comfort and direction.
The song uses metaphors to describe the character's search for meaning, such as "I pick up a stone that I cast to the sky, hoping for some kind of sign." It could be interpreted as the character searching for a sense of purpose in the universe. Overall, the lyrics evoke a feeling of sadness and loneliness but also a glimmer of hope as the character yearns for the guidance of the Lone Star to illuminate their path.

I love how battered Willie's guitar is, just like the man himself - rough around the edges but pure, classic country goodness! Also, just how beautiful and talented is Miss Jones? Wow, what a combo!
@TimBowSpice
Willie Nelson's guitar is named trigger, and the same man has been doing repairs on it for many years.
And the decade that Norah Jone's "Don't know why" was released, it was the top selling album of the decade.
@Jangocat
God bless Willie, I hope he lives to be 100... And Norah is a musical goddess...
