Soft of Your Skin
By Mara Levi

‘Til you wake up, I will lay here quiet
I will not be any louder than the soft of your skin

While you’re sleeping, I can feel you breathing
Dreaming of another day beneath the soft of your skin

Oh, the days are years
Time an anchor, comfort all we need to know
How do you know
When do soft and sweet become forever more?

I can count them, greater than one hundred
Ways that I have loved to see you through the soft of your skin

I am yours dear, simply and completely
Though my words may falter, never doubt the love that I’m in
Soft of your skin

Mmmmm

If you heard me singing soft and gently
Would you sing as sweetly, offering the soft of your skin
