Skin Against Sunrise (versione 2)

Verse

Sweat goes cold on my collarbone

Night air thin where the dark leaves off

Your thumb still resting in the small of my back

Counting beats the room forgot

Blinds cut lines on the far wall

Grey turns pink like a bruise healing slow

One more song and the DJ's done

But your palm says don't let go

Pre-Chorus

We keep our eyes on the window ledge

Watching color climb the edge

Neither one of us says the word

Just the hush of what we heard

Chorus

Sunrise finds my skin

Sunrise finds my skin

Light moves slow where your hand has been

Sunrise finds my skin

Verse

Curtain lifts on a change of light

Gold replaces the blue-black haze

Your jaw catches the first true ray

Shadows shorten, the room rearrange

Floor's gone quiet but our feet don't know

Still keeping time with a beat that's gone

Heat comes different now than it did

Softer, steadier, moving on

Pre-Chorus

We keep our eyes on the window ledge

Watching color climb the edge

Neither one of us says the word

Just the hush of what we heard

Chorus

Sunrise finds my skin

Sunrise finds my skin

Light moves slow where your hand has been

Sunrise finds my skin

Bridge

Every night has a door that closes

Every dawn comes in anyway

Your fingers trace where the daylight opens

I'm not ready, I'm not ready to lose the grey

Hold the dark a minute longer

Let the sun wait outside the pane

Skin knows both, it holds them together

Neither one of them leaves a stain

Chorus

Sunrise finds my skin

Sunrise finds my skin

Light moves slow where your hand has been

Sunrise finds my skin
