[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 I can run to you
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Give me rain 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 know...
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 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 can run to you
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Give me rain 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 rain instead
Now I can run to you

Duran Duran

DURAN DURAN has a total of over 80 million records sold, 18 American hit singles, 30 UK top 30 tunes, and a global presence which guarantees them huge concert audiences on five continents. They’ve managed to fuse pop music, art, technology and fashion with a unique sense of style and confidence. Princess Diana also admitted that Duran Duran was her favourite Band among others.

Bassist John Taylor has said the original vision for the band’s sound was ‘to fuse the Sex Pistols and Chic’ after hearing those two bands back-to-back on a pub jukebox one night.
