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...yesterday



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 know...

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

give me red instead

now let me run... (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...

why she says

when I run out of blue

give me red instead

then I will 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

give me red instead

now I can run to you

why she says

when I run out of blue

give me red instead

then I will run to you
