Tattoo

Will you remember me, like I remember you? So tenderly, like a brand-new tattoo?
Or a barrier reef with a changing tide, a shifting shape not so bona fide (bona fide)
I know I changed my mind maybe once or twice, I might have taken the worst of the worst advice
But what’s a man if he’s never wronged? He’s like a melody that doesn’t have a song
And there’s a place that I’ve been dreamin’ of, right now that’s where I’d rather be
Just with you more than anyone else, and far away from how it came be
So far away from how it came to be
So you’ve got another lover now, you tell me he lives way up town
And now my present, seems just like my past, a jockey for a future of another die’s cast
I didn’t go back to the bottle but it sure came for me
That’s how it feels anyway, that’s how it seems to be
And there’s a place, I’ve been dreamin’ of, right now that’s where I’d rather be
Just with you more than anyone else, and far away from how it came to be
So far away from how it came to be
Will you remember me, like I remember you? So tenderly, like a brand-new tattoo?

Okay With It

Layin’ in another’s arms tonight, his sweetness and his comfort while makin’ love to you
The grains of sand, in this hourglass of time, descend with tears, regrets and fears to ramble through
But that’s the way it turned out, that’s the way it did
There’s nothin’ more that I can do but be okay with it
That’s the way it turned out, that’s the way it did
And there’s nothin’ more than I can do …
That’s the way it turned out, that’s the way it did
I fell in love, I pulled away and now you’re somebody else’s woman
And I can scream and shout like a drunkard in the dawn who just won’t quit, but that’s the way it turned out honey and I’ve got to be …
Oh, we’re so far from where we once were
With your, “Goodnight my sweet” and your “Goodnight my dear.”
Now these magical post cards that he’s sendin’ to you
There’s nothin’ I can do, his penmanship’s so true
I know we’re through
This is how it turns out, this is how it goes
Ramblin’ round and actin’ proud has sure dealt me a mighty blow
And I’d repent if I could like a sinner with a subtle and a saintly grin
But this is how it turns out Darlin’ and I’ve got to be …
Yes I’ve got to be …

The Last Song

This is the last song that I’ll write, this is the song, this is the song
This hat is hung for good tonight, this is the song, this is the song
‘Cause I should’ve known what I meant to say, in all those things I was tellin’ you
And who needs so many melodies with their remedies that don’t come anyway?
This is the last song that I’ll write, this is the song, this is the song
I’d rather be with you tonight then work on this song, then write this song
But it’s too late, a twisted fate of my own creation’s returned to me
Now it’s just me and this melody and its remedy that never comes
I once was proud of all the places I’ve been, the windy road so long and true
To this heart, homeless and bare til it finally arrived at you
Is this the last song that I’ll write? Is this the song? Is this the song?
I’d rather be with you tonight then write this song, then write this song…
