The genre of this CD is often the subject of debate, especially within the vocal jazz community. Many artists hold that because Jones made few changes to the original melody and rhythm of the covered tracks such as "Turn Me On" and "The Nearness of You", and most of the songs on the album are sung straight (a musical term meaning on the beats of the music, not swung) that this album does not qualify to be classified as jazz. Another popular argument holds that the lack of swing (upbeat musical jazz) also disqualifies Come Away with Me as a jazz album. Instead it is often given the heading of "soft rock" or "mellow pop". The Nearness of You is a popular song. ...

Unofficially Norah Jones - Editorial (5256 words)
Ah yes, to go away with her and for her to come away with me, where the point is the journey, not simply arriving.
She introduced me to this album a few months ago and whilst the whole album is very good, this one particular track will always be "our" record and will always make me cry whether she comes away with me or not.
To me the words are her begging to forget the rest of the world and all the reasons they can't be and 'come away with me'.
