Lyrics
Palomino
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Chorus:
If there's secrets
she has to be pardoned to
every one of them
if there's heaven
she gets to the heart
Chorus 2:
And you'll know...
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--
(chorus)
(chorus 2)
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)
