Your Skinny Legs [lyrics by Joshua McLerran]

I can’t see
Your skinny legs
Your skinny legs
Dancin’ ‘round the room no more

And I can’t see
Your skinny legs
Dancin’ ‘round the room no more
Dancin’ ‘round the room no more

I’d give it all up
Just to see your smile
Dancin’ ‘round the room once more
Dancin’ ‘round the room once more

But everywhere I walk around here I see nothing that reminds me that I’m anything
But sitting here alone
Everywhere I look, I see quiet pieces of my soul
That used to have your name on them but now they are no more

I can see your eyes at every turn
Deep inside my soul, they sting and burn
They sting and burn
I cut
Out
All
The pain.

[breathe]

If I had a moment, love, I’d treat you like a queen
I’d lose myself no more, my love, oh I’d do anything
Just to feel your breath again inside my weighted room
Just to see your eyes go dancing

[breathe]

Not spinning round the room

This song was originally recorded on Halloween 2009, the first night my wife, whom I had previously supposed to be my Non Faccia Donna, moved out for good. She took everything but my soul, which I had foolishly given to her long before that night.
