Second Skin

Lyrics by the Chameleons UK - too beautiful, too haunting not to share - feeling it right now.

One cold damp evening the world stood still

I watched and held my breath

A silhouette I thought I knew came through and someone spoke to me

Whispered in my ear "This fantasy's for you."

My whole life passed before my eyes

I thought what they say is true

I shed my skin and my disguise and cold, numb and naked I emerged from my cocoon

And a half remembered tune played softly in my head

Then she turned smiling and said I realize a miracle is due

I dedicate this melody to you but is this the stuff dreams are made of?

If this is the stuff dreams are made of no wonder I feel like I'm floating on air

Everywhere, It feels like I'm everywhere

It's like you fail to make the connection - You know how vital it is

Or when something slips through your fingers - You know how precious it is

When you reach the point where you know It's only your second skin
Someone's banging on my door
