Skin And Bones Lyrics

by Charlene Kaye

CHARLENE:
Darling, why am I not surprised it rained today?
Doesn't it seem my broken heart just tends to ride the wind
But what will break the weight that's held up by a string?

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e95671-charlene_kaye~skin_and_bones_lyrics.html ]
You don't reminisce like me 'bout how it was
Romanticizing these redundant thoughts
I'm never free
So I wait for your parade to come rain down on me

I'm running around hoping to find
Somebody like the boy that I left behind
Who loved all of me
My fingernails and scatterbrain and crooked teeth

DARREN:
Dreams don't carry quite the weight they used to have
Two kids looking through rosy colored glass
Like fools in love
The summer drugged our senses, filled our eyes with stars

CHARLENE:
But now we say goodnight confined to separate sides
And you'll never compromise your current life to look behind
You never planned to love me for this long a time

I'm running around hoping to find
Somebody like my one, though in time I'm sure
I'll grow to know
Another's eyes, another's laugh and skin and bones

But til then, I'll keep on wanting you who I can't have
Cuz with the distance came this awful dam
And being in in love
With someone I can't feel or hold or see or touch

I'm running around hoping to find 
somebody like my one, though in time I'm sure
I'll grow to know
Another's eyes, another's laugh and skin and bones

Love, come and take me
Love, come and take me away with you
