Bat For Lashes - Skin Song lyrics

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 pa**ing 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 pa** me by My body's an old good friend of mine And when the nerves are warmed In tiny hairs and rows 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 pa** me by My body's an old good friend of mine My body's an old good friend of mine
