Tattoo Of The Sun

We cruse high in the summer sky I believe everything you say 'Cause you're not frightened The way I've been so So I follow you Just in case you lose your way So glad you let me stay around The chain link fence you climbed To make forbidden lakes our own Yours and mine And with ease of the sea gulls We cut the engines and we cruise high In the summer sky, baby Now I could speak to everything But there's no room for my voice When sweet feedback Is jumpin' through the hoop of your earring There goes the phone And then you're off again On what the caller brings you So I went and trashed myself at the bar Confused for nothin' Thinkin' you'd be there I'm so embarrassed 'cause it's you Who comes to take care of me Shamblin' home again with you to lead And it's not the way I wanna go And I'm mad at you and I'm mad at me Talking endlessly, not a kind word to say Till your amber beads of wisdom come And I want to write 'em down Just the way you said it, oh no So I could keep it always, always I can't forget the smell Of summer trees at midnight Bendin' backwards to please the wind You touch the tattoo of the sun On a warm belly that once Carried a baby for a while Then let that crackled leather jacket round you fold Red face saints monogrammed in gold And in this beauty I would not go any further 'Cause I suddenly remembered We can't live this way forever Idle daylight, oh I've never caught you in a lie Not until now I feel somehow I felt the passing of these days goin' by What will you do when the feeling That you have is through I need to know 'Cause I'll never stop hangin' on to you And it's times like this that I dread When there's everything to say And nothing left To be said To be said And it makes me sad
