[ti:my dear country] [ar:norah jones] [al:204975] [by:] [offset:0] [00:11.13]It was halloween and the ghosts were out [00:18.08]And everywhere they'd go they shout [00:22.69]And though i covered my eyes i knew [00:26.85]They'd go away [00:32.01]But fear's the only thing i saw [00:36.49]And three days later was clear to all [00:40.86]That nothing is as scary as election day [00:51.42]But the day after is darker [00:56.40]And darker and darker it goes [01:00.94]Who knows maybe the plans will change [01:05.22]Who knows maybe he's not deranged [01:13.71]The news men know what they know but they [01:18.68]Know even less than what they say [01:23.32]And i don't know who i can trust [01:27.12]For they come what may [01:32.35]Cause we believed in our candidate [01:36.08]But even more it's the one we hate [01:41.33]I needed someone i could shake [01:45.00]On election day [01:50.68]But the day after is darker [01:56.32]And deeper and deeper we go [02:00.82]Who knows maybe it's all a dream [02:06.71]Who knows if i'll wake up and scream [02:38.01]I love the things that you've given me [02:43.15]I cherish you my dear country [02:47.57]But sometimes i don't understand [02:52.08]The way we play [02:57.21]I love the things that you've given me [03:02.22]And most of all that i am free [03:06.87]To have a song that i can sing [03:11.08]On election day
