Notes About The Poem

Norah's Song

I turned your picture to the wall
 Saying I wouldn't need you
It makes no difference to me now
You've ruined me, I took the fall

Saying I wouldn't need you
Was just my way to say goodbye
You've ruined me, I took the fall
Don't know why I cannot cry

Was just my way to say goodbye
It makes no difference to me now
Don't know why I cannot cry
Wish I  could move on, somehow

It makes no difference to me now
It's not too late to carry on
Wish I could move on, somehow
If I could, I'd shoot the moon

It's not too late to carry on
Out on the road, I'm homeward bound
If I could, I'd shoot the moon
It's a long way home and long time gone

Out on the road, I'm homeward bound
I don't wanna hear another sound
It's a long way home and a long time gone
In the end, I'm a lone star gal

I don't wanna hear another sound
It makes no difference to me now
In the end, I'm a lone star gal
I've turned your picture to the wall
