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)
