Bat For Lashes - Skin Song Lyrics
I'm a little older nowThere's scars and there are frownsThere's memories in the dustThe skin that I live in is cool and paper thinIt's got a swan song to singI've blushed and I have bruisedFelt the passing of youthI've bled and I have healed,Held babes in my armsCounted lovers counted scarsThe prayers when I had you'Cause I have my time,It dances in the skin when I smileAnd for the years that pass me byMy body's an old good friend of mineAnd when the nerves are warmedIn tiny hairs and rowsIn cells that call my nameI feel those echoes out,And you are in the scars, under my shirt again!'Cause I have my time,It dances in the skin when I smileAnd for the years that pass me byMy body's an old good friend of mineMy body's an old good friend of mine
