[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
If there's secrets
She has to be pardoned to
Every one of them
If there's heaven
She gets to the heart
[Chorus]
And you'll wonder...
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Help me rise instead
Now let me run... (let me run)

[Pre-Chorus]
If there's secrets
She has to be pardoned to
Every one of them
If there's heaven
She gets to the heart

[Chorus]
And you'll wonder...
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Give me rain instead
Now let me run... (let me run)

[Outro]
Hey-hey....
Why she says
When i run out of blue
Help me rise instead
Now I will run to you
Why she says
When I run out of blue
