Speak To Me in Skin

lyric

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 7 months ago • 1 min read

[Verse 1]

In a crowded room you find my hand,

You rub your thumb on my knuckle, like a quiet command.

No need for speeches, no grand design,

Your palm on my shoulder says, “baby, You’re mine.”

Our body heat rises and your soft hug sways

A simple forehead kiss at the break of day.

I learn your meaning in every sign,

How your touch holds me steady in rivers of time

[Chorus]

Speak to me in skin, baby say it slow,

Let your warmth be all I know.

In a world full of noise and rush,

Love's a language learned by touch.

Hand in hand and heart to heart,

Speak to me in skin, baby say it slow

Speak to me in skin

[Verse 2]

Long days weigh heavy on my tired spine,

You wrap Me In Your circle and I realign.

You don’t fix the storms or make them stop,

But you’re my anchor at the dock.

Shoulder to shoulder in wordless prayer,

You touch my soul and I find air.

You listen deeper than I do,

You talk to me through skin, you pull me through.

[Chorus]

Speak to me in skin, baby say it slow,

Let your warmth be all I know.

In a world full of noise and rush,

Love's a language learned by touch.

Hand in hand and heart to heart,

Speak to me in skin, baby say it slow

Speak to me in skin
