Old Skin - Jeremy Messersmith

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
