Five Hearts Breaking - Alejandro Escovedo

The sky is black, Billy feels bad

Today he thinks that he’d be better off dead

He hears the pain roaring in his head

He’ll close his eyes

And the world turns red

Her name was Hope

Her hair was blacker than the sky

She had a smile that made the devil cry

She held is hands, looked him in the eye

And I said «Believe, believe

And everything will be fine

Everything will be all right»

Today’s the day you can bet on that

I heard her close the door

She ain’t looking back

A twist of fate or a stroke of luck

Well, the answer’s over there

Beyond the wishing well

Everything will be all right

Take the fire in your hands

And place it at her feet

Walk upon the mountain

Then you’ll sail across the sea

Her eyes are taken from the stars above

Her voice is five hearts breakin'

Her voice is five hearts breakin'

The sky’s a fire waiting to die

And his heart’s as empty as a dead man’s eye

She held his hands looked him in the eye

And said «Believe, believe»

And everything will be fine

Everything will be all right
