My Dear Country Lyrics - Norah Jones

1 'Twas Halloween and the ghosts were out

2 And everywhere they'd go, they shout

3 And though I covered my eyes I knew

4 They'd go away

5 But fear's the only thing I saw

6 And three days later was clear to all

7 That nothing is as scary as election day

8 But the day after is darker

9 And darker and darker it goes

10 Who knows, maybe the plans will change

11 Who knows, maybe he's not deranged

12 The news men know what they know, but they

13 Know even less than what they say

14 And I don't know who I can trust

15 For the come what may

16 'Cause we believed in our candidate

17 But even more it's the one we hate

18 I needed someone I could shake

19 On election day

20 But the day after is darker

21 And deeper and deeper we go

22 Who knows, maybe it's all a dream

23 Who knows if I'll wake up and scream

24 I love the things that you've given me

25 I cherish you, my dear country

26 But sometimes I don't understand

27 The way we play

28 I love the things that you've given me

29 And most of all that I am free

30 To have a song that I can sing

31 On election day
