Beth Crowley Skin And Bones Lyrics
Skin And Bones by Beth Crowley
I used to dream about the heroes of stories
As life became an endless night
When hope was gone you resurrected my spirit
Brought me from darkness into light
I can sense a storm is coming
Anchoring you to me
Far beneath my skin and bones
I harbor my divided soul
My greatest source of strength
Might be my downfall
But love was not a choice to me
I held my breath and took a leap
And when I lose myself
You help me stand so tall
I listen closely and hear sweet strains of music
I'm captured in a reverie
Through all these years you've been my quiet salvation
Reflecting who I want to be
Please for my sake no more talk of
Blessings and curses tonight
Far beneath my skin and bones
I harbor my divided soul
My greatest source of strength might be my downfall
But love was not a choice for me
I held my breath and took a leap
When I lose myself
You help me stand so tall
Standing in silence we look out at the water
Amazed how much the world has changed
I see behind your eyes such wisdom and sorrow
You're wondering if we're still the same
I felt more love than I could
Give in just one lifetime
Far beneath my skin and bones
I safekeep our united souls
My greatest source of strength is not my downfall
Because love was not a choice for me
I held your hand and took a leap
I'll never lose myself
You help me stand so tall
As life became an endless night
When hope was gone you resurrected my spirit
Brought me from darkness into light
I can sense a storm is coming
Anchoring you to me
Far beneath my skin and bones
I harbor my divided soul
My greatest source of strength
Might be my downfall
But love was not a choice to me
I held my breath and took a leap
And when I lose myself
You help me stand so tall
I listen closely and hear sweet strains of music
I'm captured in a reverie
Through all these years you've been my quiet salvation
Reflecting who I want to be
Please for my sake no more talk of
Blessings and curses tonight
Far beneath my skin and bones
I harbor my divided soul
My greatest source of strength might be my downfall
But love was not a choice for me
I held my breath and took a leap
When I lose myself
You help me stand so tall
Standing in silence we look out at the water
Amazed how much the world has changed
I see behind your eyes such wisdom and sorrow
You're wondering if we're still the same
I felt more love than I could
Give in just one lifetime
Far beneath my skin and bones
I safekeep our united souls
My greatest source of strength is not my downfall
Because love was not a choice for me
I held your hand and took a leap
I'll never lose myself
You help me stand so tall
