Skin Remembers the Sun (Version 2)

Verse

Shoulders hold the heat from noon

Bone still warm before the moon

Dust turned gold on the back of your neck

Hours later, still no wreck

Fingers trace where the light once burned

Body keeps what the sky has learned

Deep in muscle, low in blood

Sun stays soft as a second pulse

Pre-Chorus

Let the dark come, let it press

Skin remembers, skin knows best

Close your eyes, still the glow stays

Carry noon through the falling days

Chorus

Skin remembers the sun

Even now, even now

Skin remembers the sun

Deep somehow, deep somehow

Skin remembers the sun

Long after light is gone

Skin remembers the sun

Carry it, carry it on

Verse

Feet know heat from the market stone

Warmth stored deep in the arch and bone

Night wind cool but the chest stays lit

Body holds what the sky once gave it

Sweat runs cold where the sun once stood

Heart keeps time like it always could

Palms turned up to a sky gone black

Still the gold comes rising back

Pre-Chorus

Let the dark come, let it press

Skin remembers, skin knows best

Close your eyes, still the glow stays

Carry noon through the falling days

Chorus

Skin remembers the sun

Even now, even now

Skin remembers the sun

Deep somehow, deep somehow

Skin remembers the sun

Long after light is gone

Skin remembers the sun

Carry it, carry it on

Bridge

No sky above, no gold in sight

Just the memory moving through the night

Every cell still holds the ray

Body becomes its own daylight

Trust the warmth you cannot see

Let it move you, let it lead

Chorus

Skin remembers the sun

Even now, even now

Skin remembers the sun

Deep somehow, deep somehow

Skin remembers the sun

Long after light is gone

Skin remembers the sun

Carry it, carry it on
