Palomino

She lays on the wall,
watching the strangers drift away.
mid-day's ore--thick with the sun of Arabia
she surrenders, her voices they gather, on the wind
talkin, chanting, breathing
into her body...
yesterday,
Awakened beside, the scent of burnt sugar--on the skin
painting eyes--thick with the color she brings in
oh, and sure, and strong
when the lightning tumbles down, don't you frown
everything will be in time for this evening.

If there's secrets she has to be pardoned to,
every one of them, if there's heaven she gets to the heart

And you'll wonder why she says,
when I run out of blue,
help me rise instead, then I will run to you.
why she says, when I run out of blue, give me rain instead,
now let me run... (let me run)

--synthwash/piano interlude--

If there's secrets she has to be pardoned to,
every one of them, if there's heaven she gets to the heart

And you'll know just why she says,
when I run out of blue,
help me rise instead, then I will run to you.
why she says, when I run out of blue, give me rain instead,
now let me run... (let me run)

Hey-hey....why she says, when I run out of blue,
Help me rise instead, then I will run to you
why she says, when I run out of blue,
give me rain instead, then I will run to you
(repeat to fade)
