"Naked Hymn" lyrics

"Naked Hymn"

Touch-starved palms
On a cursive chest
Black socks on
The only thing left

Touch has a memory
Touch has a memory
Touch has a memory

Sun and the gods
In the candle glass
Pine-scenting
All the air that passes
Between our lips
I lean to kiss
Your pomegranate fingertips

Touch has a memory
Touch has a memory
Touch has a memory

Sappho's choir
Inside my mouth
Praiseful after
Years of drought
By candlelight
I release
What's let go of me

Touch has a memory (Touch has a memory)
Touch has a memory (Touch has a memory)
Touch has a memory (Touch has a memory)

Touch has a memory (Touch has a memory)
Touch has a memory (Touch has a memory)
Touch has a memory (Touch has a memory)
