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 heads
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?

The daughter of Beatles collaborator Ravi Shankar (her estranged father whom she had little contact with until her adult years), Norah Jones came into her own after studying at Dallas Booker T. Washington School of the Arts. She later spent two years at the University of North Texas' lauded music program in Denton, Texas – alma mater of such diverse music greats as rocker Don Henley and stalwarts Roy Orbison and Pat Boone.

Jones' goal was always to get to New York City, and she succeeded there after years of tough starter music gigs and the almost-cliched waitress jobs. Her debut album Come Away With Me won 5 Grammy Awards for Jones herself, including “Album of the Year”, and “Record of the Year.” Additionally, it won 3 Grammy awards for “Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical,” “Producer of the Year, Non-Classical,” and “Song of the Year,” for collaborators on the album. It has been Certified 10x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA, having sold 10 million albums.
