Come Away With Me
Norah Jones퀀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song

Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us, with their lies

And I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come

Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you

And 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

Overall Meaning

Norah Jones' "Come Away With Me" is a love song that expresses the desire to escape the artificiality of modern life and the pressure of expectations to live simply with someone special. The song has a gentle and soulful melody that matches the dreamy and romantic lyrics perfectly. The song's opening lines "Come away with me in the night, come away with me and I will write you a song" suggest a sense of adventure and a desire to explore the unknown with the singer's lover. The use of the word 'night' could also be interpreted as the singer's desire to bring light to the dark times that may arise in their relationship.


In the second verse, the song takes on a more rebellious tone when the singer urges her lover to "come away where they can't tempt us, with their lies." She wants to escape the various temptations and pressures of society, suggesting that they are only going to find happiness and true love away from the constraints and expectations of others. The chorus reinforces the idea of the journey and the emotional experience that the couple will have when they're away from the rest of the world.


Furthermore, the song's third stanza is a call for a shared intimate experience of "walking with each other on a cloudy day" in the fields where the grass grows high. This line could be interpreted as a quiet moment of restful escape from the busyness of modern life with the singer's lover. The fourth verse, which describes the shared experience of waking up with the rain falling on a tin roof while being held tightly in each other's arms, further emphasizes the need for emotional connection and the desire for simplicity in life.
