about

"Skin and Bone" is an atmospheric, melancholy meditation on love & loss, posing the timeless question, "Is it wrong to hold on to love when it's gone?"

lyrics

Seasons change and faces fade beneath the weight of jealous memories
That steal my time like a pretty girl with feather curls on linen wedding sheets
There is a void – a hollow emptiness
But she comes to me in my sleep with tenderness

“May my love keep you always even when I’m dead and gone.
Remember us in an empty house singing songs of skin and bone.”
Is it wrong to hold on to love when it’s gone?
When it’s gone

Seasons change and faces fade and I feel ashamed for all that should’ve been
And I hear the sound of petals falling to the ground like lily tears on linen wedding sheets
There is a void – a hollow emptiness
But she comes to me in my sleep with tenderness

“May my love keep you always even when I’m dead and gone.
Remember us in an empty house singing songs of skin and bone.”
Is it wrong to hold on to love when it’s gone?
Is it wrong to hold on to love when it’s gone?
When it’s gone, when it’s gone
Mmm and I know it’s gone, and I know it’s gone
