Skin Remembers the Sun II (Version 2)

Verse

Dust on the ankle, dry from the day

Heat in the marrow, refusing to fade

Spine holds the record no eye ever kept

Skin never sleeps on the warmth it collects

Pre-Chorus

Let the low drum find the vein

Let the night undo the strain

Nothing burns but what stays true

Body still glows from the sun it moved through

Chorus

Skin remembers the sun

Deep in the bone

Skin remembers the sun

Long after it's gone

Skin remembers the sun

Under the dark

Skin remembers the sun

Still throws a spark

Verse

Cold wind circles the back of the neck

Palms stay open, refusing to check

Sternum lifting like tide off the shore

Body keeps burning what daylight once wore

Pre-Chorus

Let the low drum find the vein

Let the night undo the strain

Nothing burns but what stays true

Body still glows from the sun it moved through

Chorus

Skin remembers the sun

Deep in the bone

Skin remembers the sun

Long after it's gone

Skin remembers the sun

Under the dark

Skin remembers the sun

Still throws a spark

Bridge

No sky left to hold it now

Just the beat and the bend and the bow

Every hour the light gave in

Turns to fuel underneath the skin

The body becomes its own horizon

Chorus

Skin remembers the sun

Deep in the bone

Skin remembers the sun

Long after it's gone

Skin remembers the sun

Under the dark

Skin remembers the sun

Still throws a spark
