I remember the lines We’d twist and turn pull in together We’d listen to the waves Of the ocean sweep to kiss our skin
The ripples stage a sweet decay Lines sink back into the trough And while a corporal bond can break A binding ache remains within
I’ll be your skin, I’ll take everything in Leave the rest unspoken I’ll be your skin, I’ll take everything in Fix what’s broken You’ll never have to feel the pain again
I’ll look for your eyes in young men’s faces Try my will and my patience Drown in the depths of the blue washed beaches Only you can teach a father’s lessons
I’ll be your skin, I’ll take everything in Leave the rest unspoken I’ll be your skin, I’ll take everything in Fix what’s broken You’ll never have to feel the pain again
I’ll be your skin, I’ll take everything in Leave the rest unspoken I’ll be your skin, I’ll take everything in Fix what’s broken You’ll never have to feel the pain again
