Alejandro Escovedo – Five Hearts Breaking Lyrics

Folk

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 his hands, looked him in the eyes
She said, "Believe, believe and everything will be fine"

Everything will be alright

Today's the day, you can bet on that
I heard her close the door, she ain't looking back
Twist of fate or a stroke of luck
Well the answer's over there beyond the wishing well

Everything will be alright

Take the fire in your hands and place it at her feet
Walk upon the mountains and then you'll sail across the sea
Her eyes are taken from the stars above
Her voice is five hearts breaking
Her voice is five hearts breaking
Her voice is five hearts breaking

The sky's on fire waiting to die
And his heart's as empty as a dead man's eye
She held his hands, looked him in the eyes
She said, "Believe, believe and everything will be fine"

Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
