My Name On Your Skin

Moonlight through the curtains Shadows dancing on the wall Your breath against my shoulder As the night begins to fall You said my name so softly Like a prayer you couldn't hold When you whispered it into my neck It echoed in my soul You don't need no ink, no silver chain My name's on your skin like a summer rain Soaked into you, quiet and deep A secret only your heart will keep Long after I'm gone, it'll still begin With my name, branded on your skin Now there's miles between our heartbeats And seasons come and go But some nights I still feel you In ways nobody knows Other girls might touch your face Call you theirs, make their claim But they don't know that secret place Where you still whisper my name You can change your shirt, your number Your address, your favorite song But like a candle's heat Long after the flame is gone I'm still there beneath your surface In the part you never show You said it like you were afraid To ever let it go You don't need no ink, no silver chain My name's on your skin like a summer rain Soaked into you, quiet and deep A secret only your heart will keep Long after I'm gone, it'll still begin With my name, branded on your skin In your silence, in your grin You still wear my name on your skin
