Skin Song
Bat For Lashes

I'm a little older now
There's scars and there are frowns
There's memories in the dust
The skin that I live in is cool and paper thin
It's got a swan song to sing


I've blushed and I have bruised
Felt the passing of youth
I've bled and I have healed,
Held babes in my arms
Counted lovers counted scars
The prayers when I had you

'Cause I have my time,
It dances in the skin when I SMILE
And for the years that pass me by
My body's an OLD GOOD FRIEND of mine

And when the nerves are warmed

In cells that call my name
I 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 SMILE
And for the years that pass me by
My body's an OLD GOOD FRIEND of mine

My body's an OLD GOOD FRIEND of mine
