My Latest Sin

by Norah jones

Just like a distant thunder
My conscience is rolling in the back of my head
But your lips keep riding on in the darkness
Our guns on the floor
Near the makeup and the clothes that we shed
We both trail our own paths
But the grass has worn out our parting ways
And I used to think I rode with the devil
But I'm left on my own
Even he hasn't shown up these days
Don't cry my latest sin
I don't buy that (self) righteous being
Calm your worried soul
The demons and angels left us here all alone
Much like crickets at the sunrise
My guilt is fading in the depth of my chest
Your empire is brought down around us
But we're pressed on the wall
And don't care 'bout the fall of the rest
I pray you find your old path
But mine was lost so long ago
They say old roads were built on old rivers
Maybe that's why I'm lost
Cause I can't carry on with the flow
Don't cry my latest sin
I don't buy that (self) righteous being
Calm your worried soul
The demons and angels left us here all alone

Summer sun is setting
And the grass is turning gold
Another season's changin'
And I'm just getting old
The autumn leaves are raining
And it's the sparrow's time to fall
Another season's fading
And I'm just getting old
If you ever find a way
To run as fast as time
You will find the wind that's blowing
You tell her I, was left behind
The weather frost is biting
Even the trees outside are cold
Another season's changing
And I'm just getting old
The seeds of spring are spreading
With life no man can hold
Another season's changing
And I'm just getting old
If you ever find a way
To run as fast as time
You will find the wind that's blowing
You tell her I, was left behind
You tell her I, was left behind
