lyrics

Tattoo tattoo
Some things fade some never do
Like the names of me and you
In my skin indigo blue

Tattoo tattoo
Waving boys in navy blue
Whalers sailing home to you
Scratched in scrimshaw tusk and tooth

Tattoo tattoo
Some things fade some never do
These lines of love to you
Tattoo tattoo

The verse of life is blank I think
We fill in in invisible ink
It comes to sight, it surfaces
When held up to the light of love

Tattoo tattoo
Carney girls in summer suits
Local boys in leather boots
Diagrams of derring-do
Tattoo tattoo

Tattoo tattoo
Some things fade some never do
Like these lines of love to you
Tattoo tattoo
Like the names of me and you
In my skin indigo blue
Tattoo tattoo
