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
