Come Away With Me
Norah Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
Norah Jones's song "Come Away With Me" is a romantic song that expresses the deep desire for intimacy, escapism, and the need for companionship. The song asks for someone to come away with the singer, away from the temptations and the lies of the world. The lyrics convey the idea of finding solace and refuge in the arms of a loved one, seeking shelter from the storms of life.
The song sets a romantic tone with the opening lines, "Come away with me in the night, Come away with me, and I will write you a song." The singer wants to share her love, express her feelings, and create a bond with her partner, the person she is addressing in the song. The lyrical imagery used is dreamy, such as the desire to walk on a cloudy day or in fields of yellow grass that grows knee-high. These vivid visuals add to the romantic appeal of the song.
The chorus "Come away with me" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the singer's longing for escape, to be with someone who loves her unconditionally. The song's final lyrics, "So all I ask is for you to come away with me," express the earnest plea of the singer to her loved one, to come away with her, to be together, and to never end the love they share.

It took a longtime,
To find the real and deep reason I so love this song.
My mother, was a mean abusive, neglecting person. A alcoholic with bipolar disorder. The treatment for that in the 60's were very severe....
The few times, my mother would be a mom. She would sound like Norah. And the words fit her.......
So many bad things in our lives, can hold us down.
Finding the good, and letting go of the bad. Helps to raise above them.
Thank You Norah Jones,
For helping.....
With the healing.

I hear this song and it transports me back to the summer of 2002, when the love between me and a wonderful man I had met was exciting and new, and I would drive over two hours at least twice a week to see him. I would play Norah Jones CD's over and over, singing along with the sunroof open. This April, we'll be celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary. I live for sweet memories like this.
