Skeleton Man Songtext
von Dwight Twilley

Hold on to the summertime
It′s slipping away
Shake hands with the skeleton man
He's coming your way
He′s the one who went to heaven
And came back alive
It's just the way it happened
When he looked in your eyes
In your eyes

So long to the starry skies
They're fading away
Say hello to the skeleton man
He′s acting his age
He′s the one who lost the race
But took home the prize
It's just the way things go
When passing trains collide
In the night

A fool will write his plans


In the shifting sand

Now he′s not half a man

He's just a skeleton
Farewell to the tender words
That loved you so hard
Here lies the skeleton man
He′s under your yard
He's the one who stole your heart
Then turned out the lights
The angels toss their darts
Like little poison knives
Into your life


Hold on to the summertime
It′s drifting away
Say goodbye to the skeleton man
Like some rainy day
You're the one who fell from heaven
And came back so wise
The words of skeleton men
No longer slip inside
The world is wide

The skeleton man
The skeleton man
The skeleton man
The skeleton man
The skeleton man
