Skin & Bones

Watching the last of every pale blue evening melt away

I wonder if I hear your voice out there

Is it just the echo of a fractured memory

Fading like the light through the air?

The years have really put you to the test

And I know now we're skin and bones at best

But if I glued my heart to yours and laid down in your bed

Would my spark start moving you again?

The streets pulse with the heat of a thousand bodies flush and warm

The sidewalk cracks until their footsteps fade
