Let You Through

Dan Gonzalez

---------------------

I wore my skin

Like shoes

Crusted and cracked by the blacktop

Scratched up from years of abuse

And wearing thin

In the grooves where the water beads and drops

I never let you through

-

You wore your eyes

Like stained glass

Brilliant and blind from the sun

Filled in with colors to last

But showing signs

Of fading hues where the blues and greens used to run

You let me see right through

-

Into the rooms of your soul where I unpacked my clothes

And moved in

And I left through your eyes again

When you asked me to sit down and tell you what I had to give

-

I wear my skin

Like chains

Loosened and hanging off my bones

Heavy and dripping with age

And what might have been

If I knew how it feels to grow old alone

I wish I’d let you through

-

- Beautiful song.
