Palomino

She lays on the wall
Watching the strangers drift away
Mid-day's aura thick
With the sun of Arabia

She surrenders her voices
They gather on the wind
Talking, chanting, breathing
Into her body, yesterdays

Awakened beside
The scent of burned sugar on her skin
Painting eyes thick
With the color she brings in
Always 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 party 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
Now I can run to you
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Give me red instead
Now let me run (now let me run)

If there's secrets
She has to be party 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
Now I can run to you
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Give me red instead
Now let me run (let me run)

Hey hey
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Help me rise instead
Now I can run to you
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Give me red instead
Now I can run to you

Why she says
When I run out of blue
Help me rise instead
Now I can run to you
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Give me red instead
Now I can run to you

Why she says
When I run out of blue
Help me rise instead
Now I can run to you
