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 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]

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...

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
