<p>What can I say. I like Norah Jones' songs. It's just so
refreshing to hear a young woman of nowadays sing about human frailties and
sorrow, rather than how they "oops" did it again, or other such
infantile sexual fantasies. I hope her songs will remain as timeless as
our own weaknesses. </p>

<p><b><font face="Times New Roman" size="5">Humble Me</font></b><br>
- by Norah Jones -</p>
<p>
Went out on a limb<br>
gone too far<br>
broken down at the side of the road<br>
stranded at the outskirts and sun's creepin' up<br>
<br>
Baby's in the backseat<br>
still fast asleep<br>
dreamin' of better days<br>
I don't want to call you but you're all I have to turn to<br>
<br>
What do you say<br>
when it's all gone away ?<br>
baby I didn't mean to hurt you<br>
truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart<br>
no matter how hard you resist it<br>
it never rains when you want it to<br>
<br>
You humble me Lord<br>
humble me Lord<br>
I'm on my knees empty<br>
you humble me Lord<br>
you humble me Lord<br>
please, please, please forgive me<br>
<br>
Baby Teresa she's got your eyes<br>
I see you all the time<br>
when she asks about her daddy<br>
I never know what to say<br>
<br>
Heard you kicked the bottle<br>
and helped to build the church<br>
you carry an honest wage<br>
is it true you have somebody keeping you company ?<br>
<br>
What do you say<br>
when it's all gone away ?<br>
baby I didn't mean to hurt you<br>
truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart<br>
no matter how hard you resist it<br>
it never rains when I want it to<br>
<br>
You humble me Lord<br>
humble me Lord<br>
I'm on my knees empty<br>
you humble me Lord<br>
you humble me Lord<br>
please, please, please forgive me</p>

첫댓글Thanks for introducing this song to us. I don't know why I never thought of listening to this song before even though I have come across this title in the past. I copied yours and listening to it over and over as I think of the meaning. It's refreshing, yet making me feel somber.
Hello, Elaine. Thank you for your kind words once again. Yes, I tend to like these "bluezy" songs.... It might be depressing for some, but it has a calming effect on me.
Hello reed. Certainly those words are important, whether a god gave them to us or we found them ourselves. But I enjoy this song not because it contains a prayer to a god, but rather because it contains a HUMAN prayer. It celebrates (in its own way) the person who sings the prayer rather than ..
the god or gods to whom the prayer is sung. Perhaps, this world would be a better place if we cared a bit more about those who sing the prayers than to whom the prayers are sung.

These words(humble, forgive) were very important for us to live in this world.God gave them to us.
