Winter Skin

from Himself by Homeboy Aurelio

lyrics

Trying to follow
But where did you go?
Footprints disappear in falling snow
I walked into this bedroom
With an empty plate
Just a flickering screen to satiate
I found some nails
And some lumber too
Started putting up walls all around the room
'Cause in this weather
There's no need to be bold
The thicker your skin, the less you feel the cold

As the sun melts all this snow
I'll shed my skin
Take it off and wash it in the water
My winter skin

The first ray of sunlight
Slipped under my door
Woke me from my sleep, curled up on the floor
I climbed out the window
And I fell upon the world
Soaked in the rain, watched the fiddle-heads unfurl
I need a friend
Like a dog needs a bone
I ran down the hill, I was headed for your home
When I got to the house
It was all boarded up
A sign on the door
Said "our time is almost up."

I peered through a crack window
I could barely recognize
The glint of green in all that gray
That had filled your eyes
I grabbed the ax from the woodpile
Started tearing at all the boards
I dragged you out into the sunlight
What could I do? Nothing more.

As the sun melts all this snow
You'll shed your skin
Take it off and wash it in the water
Your winter skin
