Bb
She lays on the wall
watching the strangers drift away
BbAb
mid-day's ore--thick
with the sun of Arabia
BbAb
she surrenders her voices
Bb
they gather, on the wind
talkin, chanting, breathing
Db-F-Bb-Db
into her body...yesterday
F - Db - (Db-Eb - E - Gb) (walkup)
Bb
Awakened beside
AbBb
the scent of burnt sugar--on the skin
Ab
painting eyes--thick
Bb
with the color she brings in
Bb
oh, and sure and strong
when the lightning tumbles down
don't you frown
everything will be
in time for this evening
(Start Chords)
DbFm
if there's secrets
Bb
she has to be party to
Db
every one of them
FmBb
if there's heaven
Db
she gets to the heart
(Eb - E - Gb) walkup
and you'll know...
EAb7
why she says
EB
when I run out of blue
EAb7
help me rise instead
EB
then I will run to you
EAb7
why she says
EB
when I run out of blue
EAb
give me red instead
Db
now let me run... (let me run)
DbFm
if there's secrets
Bb
she has to be party to
Db
every one of them
FmBb
if there's heaven
Db
she gets to the heart
EbEGb
and you'll know...
EAb7
why she says
EB
when I run out of blue
EAb7
help me rise instead
EB
then I will run to you
EAb7
why she says
EB
when I run out of blue
EB
give me rain instead
Db
now let me run... (let me run)
Hey-hey....
EAb7
why she says
EB
when I run out of blue
EAb7
help me rise instead
EB
then I will run to you
EAb7
why she says
EB
when I run out of blue
EAb7
give me rain instead
EB
then I will run to you
