Skin Remembers the Sun III

Verse

Shoulders hold the heat from a noon that's gone

Skin keeps score of a light long drawn

Floor is dark but the bones stay warm

Body remembers the shape of the sun

Palms recall where the warmth first hit

Hips unlock what the day let sit

Breath comes slow like the afternoon

Muscle still humming an old, gold tune

Pre-Chorus

Let the dark pull the memory out

Let the hips answer without a doubt

Nothing to hide when the low end calls

Skin gives back what the sun installed

Chorus

Skin remembers the sun

Even now, even here

Skin remembers the sun

Rising up through the fear

Skin remembers the sun

Move until it's clear

Skin remembers the sun

It's always near

Verse

Spine unwinds like a field at dusk

Chest still carries an amber husk

Knees bend soft where the shadows pool

Body burns what the night can't cool

Wrists go loose in the after-heat

Ribs keep time with a borrowed beat

Nothing lost, just rearranged

Skin holds on to a golden range

Pre-Chorus

Let the dark pull the memory out

Let the hips answer without a doubt

Nothing to hide when the low end calls

Skin gives back what the sun installed

Chorus

Skin remembers the sun

Even now, even here

Skin remembers the sun

Rising up through the fear

Skin remembers the sun

Move until it's clear

Skin remembers the sun

It's always near

Bridge

Close your eyes, feel the warmth arrive

Not the light, just what it left behind

Every cell still holding a spark

Carry the day into the dark

Chorus

Skin remembers the sun

Even now, even here

Skin remembers the sun

Rising up through the fear

Skin remembers the sun

Move until it's clear

Skin remembers the sun

It's always near
