Whisper on My Skin

[Verse 1]
It's that picture of you
Lookin' up at me
Watchin' all my moves
I wonder what it is you see
It's that smile on your face
It lifts me up off the ground
But Darlin', never be afraid
To have to let somebody down

[Chorus 1]
I'd like to think that there is nothin' in the world
Like the light through the blinds on a brown-eyed laughin' girl
Like the callus on the hands of an honest lovin' man
Like a whisper on the skin in the darkness now and then

[Verse 2]
In the darkness I stand
Like a stature, all alone
Without this tiny weddin' band
I'd be a heart, and blood and bones
I'd be a torn and worn-out wishful woman
Tied to the tracks
And I have been down in that place
I ain't ever goin' back

[Chorus 2]
I'd like to think that there is nothin' in the world
Like the night fallin' in on a sweet and sleepin' girl
Like the callus on the hands of an honest lovin' man
Like the whisper on my skin in the darkness now and then

[Verse 3]
It's that picture of you
Lookin' up at me
Watchin' all my moves
I wonder what it is you see
It's that fire burnin' slow
It's the soft south-Texas wind
It's the sweet smell of smoke
Like a whisper on my skin
