Your Tattoo
words and music by John Lester


I can't hear
the rhythm and blues
And I can't see
the pictures hanging in your room
I don't remember
the conversations that we had
And lord I just can't say
if this is good or if it's bad

The years keep stealing memories,
as if we had never met
Father time just stands there laughing
as he tosses each regret
But the hour glass won't bury all
the passion we once knew
I just can't forget
Your tattoo
I just can't forget
Your tattoo

Didn't I tell you
Not to scar your body so
What a misconception
I decided sight unseen but how was I to know

The imprint on your body
would leave an image in my brain
So many days now stand between us
But each second will remain
Caught within a symbol
that the midnight artist drew
I just can't forget
Your tattoo
I just can't forget
Your tattoo

The years keep stealing memories as if we had never met
Father time just stands there laughing
as he tosses each regret
But the hour glass won't bury
all the passion we once knew
I just can't forget
Your tattoo
I just can't forget
Your tattoo
