Time Tender

Time, be tender on my speckled skin

Let me feel the in and out of breath under your ribs

Oh pretender, won't you let me in

Every happy ending starts with where do we begin

Goodness be gracious, the ones I hold most dear

Could slip right through the cracks of chance

And things I couldn't hear

So surrender, surrender to the fear

Of losing you, worst I could do is never let you near

Time tender, won't you let me in

Love lender, like a second skin

Mood mender, make the bed we're in

Truth teller, I feel it in my bones

Loving you's like certainty inside of the unknown

Shape shifter, don't leave me alone

Time will change the skin you're in, but let me call it home

Time tender, won't you let me in

Love lender, like a second skin

Mood mender, make the bed we're in
