Alejandro Escovedo - Five Hearts Breaking lyrics

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
