Flesh of my flesh,
Bone of my bone.
A body is merely,
A shell for the soul.
Colours changing, body fading,
Flesh, and blood, and bone decaying.
Stumbling, falling, limbs now failing,
Not much more from life remaining.
Weaker now, I feel us slipping,
Youth and beauty fade from view.
Steady me, my fingers gripping,
Hold me while I fall to you.
Hold me closer,
What is happening to us?
Hold me closer,
Can't lose you again.
See your flesh, it's growing thinner,
See your bones, they're shining through.
See your teeth in lipless grin,
And see the fear I feel for you.
Hold me closer, how I love you dearly.
Hold me closer, love will never die.
Hold me closer, you must never fear me.
Hold me closer, we're one, you and I.
Hold me closer, how I love you dearly.
Hold me closer, love will never die.
Hold me closer, you must never fear me.
Hold me closer, we're one, you and I.
Flesh to flesh, I need you near me,
Bodies fail, but love remains.
Bone to bone, I see so clearly,
With our love we're still the same.
Hold me closer,
What is happening to us?
Hold me closer,
Can't lose you again.
