Tattoo (2002 Remaster) - Gordon Lightfoot

Whatever you think of me

I'm still your friend

So other than nothing what's new

The water's still flowing

Through the rose on my skin

This here tattoo is for you

The boys at the parlor downtown

Didn't waste anytime putting it down

Time has been wasting away I can see it

Go sailing on by as it slips through my fingers

The bow and the wave never wait for tomorrow

They just keep on rolling 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 drinking 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 it's permanent home

This here tattoo is for you

The boys at the parlor downtown

Didn't waste any time putting it down

Time has been wasting 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 nothing 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
