Sundial Skin

Verse

Every morning we catch the yellow on our skin

Like the whole street's been waiting for this moment to begin

Sundial on the pavement counting out the light

We take it like a verdict — everything feels just right

Chorus

Sunlight, sunlight, burning slow

On the sidewalk where we used to go

Sundial skin, turning gold

This is how we learn to grow

Verse

The clock tower's shadow starts to creep across our feet

But we don't move yet, we just watch it settle deep

In this one hour before we turn into shadows too

Is the whole day already written in your eyes, or in my shoes?

Chorus

Sunlight, sunlight, burning slow

On the sidewalk where we used to go

Sundial skin, turning gold

This is how we learn to grow

Bridge

Time can't stop when the clock runs out of hands

Not yet — not till the last warm beam leaves our lands

We're still standing here beneath this golden light

Counting every second 'til it turns into night
