skin like winter lyrics

Ashes to ashes dust to dust
Bitterness runs through your soul
Beautiful child turning into stone
With your eyes so dim I shudder
Exchange your blessings for deceptions good night kiss
Like small children
Confusion dances in the dusk of your mind
Skin like winter
Hiding scars back laced with splinters
I can see your breath begging to resurrect into death
Audience of a congregation make your way to the front
Cherished one fading away
Close your eyes and grieve
You played your part so well
