Lyrics

[ back ]

Skin On Soul

Daddy´s gone and Mummy´s crying
She says, The Lord´s here he´s just hard to find
Must be working overtime,
So don´t you skip your prayers tonight now babe

It´s a lonely fall when you fall so low
The curtains close on a one man show
It´s a broken home and an open road
No matter where I stay it ain´t so hard for me to go

Chorus:
When the lights go down and the stars are few
There´s some open arms i can crawl into
Can I stick around and tell you stories I´ve been told
Til there´s nothing left but Skin on my Soul

There´s got to be at least one last girl
Who understands a poets world
It´s a hard black shell but she can see the pearl
And i can make it right if I can just find the words

But I always run so far away
My calloused hands on my guitar babe
These rusty strings I´m gonna keep on playing
No matter where i go, it always hard for me to stay

Chorus:
When the lights go down and the stars are few
There´s some open arms i can crawl into
Can I stick around and tell you stories I´ve been told
Til there´s nothing left but Skin on my Soul

I´m tattooed and battered,
I´m burned scarred and wandering every witch way I can go
Broken and weary
It´s the same clothes i´m wearing, It´s the same asking why in the road

Daddy´s gone and Mama´s still crying
Somewhere the devils satisfied
He must be working overtime
So don´t you skip your prayers tonight
Don´t you skip your prayers tonight now babe
