Palomino

"Palomino" is a Duran Duran song from their fifth studio album, Big Thing.

Lyrics
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

[repeat to fade]
