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
