Little Feat 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
