Jeremy Messersmith Old Skin
When you're old and gray Lines etched upon your face Put your hair down I'll kiss your brow Call you beautiful
Our love was made to last We fade like photographs Wrinkled and worn The edges are torn Unmistakable
I'll love your old skin Love your old skin Love your old skin I'll love your old skin
When you're feeling tired Weary and uninspired The life that you knew Seems worthless to you Unavoidable
When your eyes won't shine Best years are far behind I'll hold you close Never let go Unforgettable
And when there's nothing left Ashes and silhouettes I hope that I find my rest Next to you
