Tattoo Lyrics - Singles - Lightfoot Gordon

Whatever you think of me 

I'm still your friend 

So other than nothin' what's new 

The water 's still flowin' 

Through the rose on my skin 

This here tattoo is for you 

The boys at the parlor downtown 

Didn't waste anytime puttin' it down 

Time has been wastin' away I can see it 

Go sailin' on by as it slips through my fingers 

The bow and the wave never wait for tomorrow 

They just keep on rollin' as straight as an arrow 

Good night 

Girl of my dreams 

You get better each day 

I wish I could see you somehow 

Girls that I love is there no other way 

This here tattoo is for now 

I'd been out drinkin' all day 

I got carried away at the parlor last night 

This summer rose is for you it's no wonder 

I bothered to wander back into the parlor 

It's red and in bloom and it's more than one color 

It lives on forever for just a few dollars 

Good night 

Whatever you think of me 

I'm still your friend 

So baby whatever you do 

Now that it's taken its permanent home 

This here tattoo is for you 

The boys at the parlor downtown 

Didn't waste any time puttin' it down 

Time has been wastin' away, you know time doesn't 

Wait for nobody to find what they're after 

It just keeps on rolling on down the deep canyons 

And through the green meadows into the broad ocean 

Good night 

Whatever you think of me 

I'm still your friend 

So other than nothin' what's new 

The water's still flowing 

Through the rose on my skin 

This here tattoo is for you 

The water's still flowin 

Through the rose on my skin 

This here tattoo is for you
