Memory Tattoo
Everybody says you were a prophet
Everybody says you were a saint
But they don't know
That back here at home
I never did pick up all the pieces
Now that you're a long time gone
A short time here
What was that you said
And what was that you meant
What was that you felt
When you fell for me
Baby did I know you at all
Now that you're a long time gone
A long time gone
You know you were a hard act to follow
No one ever made me feel the same
I got a picture of you
It's a memory tattoo
And every word you ever wrote
I know it all by heart
It's only a one-sided conversation
It's only me who's here to tell the tale
But these questions won't go
And I'm left alone
Until you creep into the night
And leave me asking more
