The Long Day Is Over Lyrics

Feeling tired
By the fire
The long day is over

The wind is gone
Asleep at dawn
The embers burn on

With no reprise
The sun will rise
The long day is over

i listen to this song after i've had a horrible depressing day, and it seems to just make me feel so much better. i love how her songs are about such simple beautiful things in life like the end of a long day. it's amazing that this song is only a few lines long but seems so much longer.

This is my favorite Norah Jones song, it is simple and beautiful. Some people think that her music is depressing but I love it. This is one of those songs that you sit in silence on the coach with your significant other and just...

@walt2891 you are absolutely correct.. Really love this song, but most people don't understand it

I used to listen to this song all the time a couple years ago, but completely forgot about it until today. I had a really long day, and all of a sudden starting humming this song - I didn't even realize at first. It definitely calmed me down; I think I'll be listening to it a lot more now.
