Body Remembers the Sun

Verse

Dust on your ankles, gold going grey

Skin holds the noon long after the day

Collarbone warm where the light used to lay

Shoulders keep turning, the heat won't stay away

Cold comes in slow through the back of your neck

Muscle still humming, refusing to check

Palms find the rhythm the daylight left behind

Body keeps counting the hours in your spine

Pre-Chorus

Ask the skin where the warmth went

Ask the bone what the sun meant

Let the chill try to take the glow

Watch it lose, watch it go

Chorus

Body remembers the sun

Rising again

Body remembers the sun

Deep in the skin

Body remembers the sun

Under the cold

Body remembers the sun

Turning to gold

Verse

Night wraps around you, the air turns thin

Sweat on your temple, the heat locked in

Feet find the pulse where the daylight sank

Hips keep the memory, warm off the bank

Breath comes out silver, breath goes back gold

Chest keeps the fire the darkness can't hold

Hands lift like reaching for light overhead

Body still burning long after it's said

Pre-Chorus

Ask the skin where the warmth went

Ask the bone what the sun meant

Let the chill try to take the glow

Watch it lose, watch it go

Chorus

Body remembers the sun

Rising again

Body remembers the sun

Deep in the skin

Body remembers the sun

Under the cold

Body remembers the sun

Turning to gold

Bridge

Somewhere the day is already bright

Somewhere your shadow is shorter tonight

Carry the warmth through the dark like a seed

Bloom where the body still knows what to need

Chorus

Body remembers the sun

Rising again

Body remembers the sun

Deep in the skin

Body remembers the sun

Under the cold

Body remembers the sun

Turning to gold
