Description
“The summer days are gone too soon
You shoot the moon
And miss completely
And now you’re left to face the gloom
The empty room that once smelled sweetly
Of all the flowers you plucked if only
You knew the reason
Why you had to each be lonely
Was it just the season?
Now the fall is here again
You can’t begin to give in
It’s all over
When the snows come rolling through
You’re rolling too with some new lover
Will you think of times you’ve told me
That you knew the reason
Why we had to each be lonely
It was just the season”
~ “Shoot The Moon”
~ written by Jesse Harris
~recorded by Norah Jones
~ 2002
~ The track was part of “Come Away With Me,” Jones’ first full-length album that received Grammy Awards for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album, and reached the top of the Billboard 200 chart and several jazz charts.
The moon rises over the Kittatinny Ridge on a warm and beautiful last full weekend of summer, my most favorite of seasons, on a September evening along the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail) at Lehigh Gap.
Yes, the summer days are gone too soon!
In the shadow of the Kittatinny Ridge, also called Blue Mountain, the Lehigh Gap in Slatington, Pennsylvania, is a crossroads where the Lehigh Gap Nature Center’s trails connect two historic trails – the Appalachian Trail and the Delaware and the D&L Trail.
The Appalachian Trail, a foot path, follows the ridge on both sides of the Lehigh Gap, running 1,245 miles south to Georgia and 930 miles north to Maine. Running from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and Delaware rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.

Nora Jones-- I am a big fan of hers because of the poetic lyrics ( like this one). I remember the Grammies show where Dolly Parton did a BIG, BIG show with a brass band, an orchestra, and a 100 voice chorus. What could be bigger than that?!?!?! Nora sat down and sang her tune on a piano...and then won the best song of the year award! I have a DVD of one of her performances that I never tire of viewing. Well done and beautiful as can be! FAVORITE!

Thanks so very much Reynold, I like Norah Jones so much too. Her music, I think, is beauty in simplicity:)
