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
