Skin Song Lyrics - Singles - 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 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 

Photos 

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
