La mujer de Pedro

And Pedro shows up late once again, and she wakes up
pretends to be asleep, and he talks to her anyway
something he made up at the bar
and she knows the story
if I had a dollar for every letdown

And how many mornings can you face? Can you forget?
how many promises can you ignore?
before you break those chains that are in your heart?

Days, weeks, months, and years that weigh... he said
but tonight Pedro will find his bed empty
and on a train... so far away there’s a woman
her bag and a yesterday.

And how many mornings can you face? Can you forget?
how many promises can you ignore?
out there somewhere because you learned what’s in your heart...

how many mornings can you wake up? And nothing to forget
how many promises can you give yourself?
out there somewhere because you learned what a heart is.

And Pedro shows up late once again... ohh... ohh...
and Pedro shows up late once again... ohh... ohh...
