  • Little broken hearts of the night
    Slowly picking up their knives
    On the way to the fight
    Tonight they want revenge

    Beautiful soldiers in their beds
    Making love inside their hands
    With no chance to defend
    Tonight could be their end

    With the weapons in their hands
    And their eyes closed as they stand
    Can they end it all tonight so easily?

    Did the darkness of their days
    Make them let go of their light?
    Will they want to find a way
    To make it all right?

    When the beautiful awake
    See the sadness in their eyes
    Will they want to find a way
    To make it all right
    To make it all right?

    Only the fallen need to rise
    What if lightning strikes them twice?
    Will they give up on their lives
    And finally divide?

    Did the darkness of their days
    Make them let go of their light?
    Can they ever find a way
    To sleep side by side?

    When the beautiful awake
    See the sadness in their eyes
    Will they ever find a way
    To sleep side by side
    To sleep side by side
    To sleep side by side? Writer/s: Brian Burton, Norah Jones
