Lyrics
Feel You in My Bones
The taste of honey on my tongue
Doesn?t last for very long
But when I?m all alone
I think of what we?ve done
And I can feel you in my bones again
I don?t mind when the sky turns gray
I won?t cry if you walk away
Just tell me lies til dawn
So that when you?re gone
I can feel you in my bones again
Love is not the only reason
For a brief and dark liaison
We don?t need excuses to be here
In my world I?ll let you stay
For forever or just a day
And when I?ve had my fill
I?ll thank you for the thrill
Close my eyes and feel you in my bones again
