Intro : Bb Ab

Bb
She lays on the wall

watching the strangers drift away
           Bb    Ab
mid-day's ore--thick

with the sun of Arabia
     Bb             Ab
she surrenders her voices
Bb
they gather, on the wind

talkin, chanting, breathing
                C# - F - Bb - C#
into her body...yesterday
F - C# - ( C# - D# - E - F# ) (walkup)

         Bb
Awakened beside
 Ab                 Bb
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


C#          Fm
if there's secrets
              Bb
she has to be party to
       C#
every one of them
Fm            Bb
if there's heaven
                C#
she gets to the heart
