Tattoo Heart

When I was young

And thought nothing would harm me

No-one could alarm me

To the error's of my days

And the nights

Those dark starry nights

They seemed so eternal

Til they went out in a blaze

If I gave you a minute

You'd call it a day

In the life of a stranger

I'm swept away

Your heart, you never gave your heart to me

Was I so blind that

I just couldn't see

That your heart, was never in my arms

You lived in the shadows

With your tattoo heart

I no longer see you

In that cellophane mask

I don't have to deal with

Your sleight of hand past

And the nights

Ring silence from your call

Your sensual innuendo

I'm not missing it at all

It took only a minute

For me to call it a day

Now your just a memory

So very far away

Your heart, you never gave your heart to me

Was I so blind that

I just couldn't see

That your heart, was never in my arms

You lived in the shadows

With your tattoo heart
