Palomino

Palomino Lyrics

She lays on the wall watching the strangers drift away
Midday is all thick with the sun of Arabia

She surrenders her voices
They gather, on the wind
talking, chanting, breathing
into her body...yesterday's

Awaken 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... (let me run)

(synthwash/piano interlude)

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... (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
It's a red instead now I can run to you
