Palomino - First Aid Kit

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, yesterdays 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 wonder Why she says When I run out of blue Help me rise instead Now I can run to you Why she says When I run out of blue Give me red instead Now let me run (now 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 Just why she says When I run out of blue Help me rise 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) Hey hey Why she says When I run out of blue Help me rise instead Now I can run to you 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 Help me rise instead Now I can run to you 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 Help me rise instead Now I can run to you

A sad song sounds sadder On an old Gibson And it only gets better Played a thousand times Like an East Texas pine, can't pick up and run from its roots Home is still home no matter which road you choose You can't put reins on a wild palomino And you won't see an old cowboy cry Long as God's still in church, and hard work still works And this collar on my shirt's still blue I'll never stop loving you A broke heart keeps breaking Sitting at a bar The whiskey's a band-aid That just leaves more scars Like an old Georgia pine, can't pick up and run from its roots Home is still home no matter which road you choose You can't put reins on a wild palomino And you won't make a rolling stone stay Long as God's still at church, and hard work still works And that collar on my shirt's still blue I'll never stop loving you I can't change your mind, and can't change the weather And if you need some time to run free I made you a promise for worse or for better Even though missing you's killing me You can't put reins on a wild palomino And you won't see this old cowboy cry Long as God's still at church, and hard work still works And that collar on my shirt's still blue I'll never stop loving you I'll never stop loving you
