Lyrics I'll Give You My Skin - Indigo Girls, Michael Stipe

I'll Give You My Skin

Well you, you can sit in your high chairs
High chairs are for children
You can sit in your high chairs and laugh
I’ll give you my best face
I’ll give you my freedom
I’ll give you my feet and my hands
I’m keeping my eyes
Open, open, open to the field
Hold your dances there
Take the crop, share the yield
You can join us together, break us apart
A wound in the skin is a break in the heart
You can coast on your laughter, high shelf your heart
But laughter’s for healing, not tearing apart
I’m keeping my eyes
Open to the fields
You can hold your dances there
Take the crop, share the yield
Not a soul is lost
For collapsing the walls
You can dance in the dust
You can walk it off, walk, walk it off
If you’re fallin', you’re fallin'
Come callin' to me
Fallin', Fallin'
I’ll give you my skin
I will give you my skin
I’m keeping my eyes
Open to the field
(If you’re fallin, you’re fallin', come callin' to me)
You can hold your dances here
(If you’re fallin, you’re fallin', come callin' to me)
Take the crop, share the yield
(If you’re fallin, you’re fallin', come callin' to me)
I’m keeping my eyes
(If you’re fallin, you’re fallin', come callin' to me)
Open to the field
(If you’re fallin, you’re fallin', come callin' to me)
Hold your dances there
(If you’re fallin, you’re fallin', come callin' to me)
Take the crop, share the yield
(If you’re fallin, you’re fallin', come callin' to me)
If you’re fallin, you’re fallin', come callin' to me
If you’re fallin, you’re fallin', come callin' to me
I will give you my skin
