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
|
