You were the sun that warmed the earth You were the rain that slaked my thirst Though long ago and far away I taste the wine of yesterday You were the one who knew me when And you are the ink inside my pen You were the one who woke my heart And you were the first to tear it apart So I'm forever blue Your body and soul my tattoo And I ache for you I break for you For the love I'll never make with you I am forever blue And like the rings around a tree You are the deepest part of me Beneath your skin I've left my mark There on the shoreline of your heart So I'm forever blue I am inside and outside of you And I ache for you I break for you For the love I'll never make with you I am forever blue I am forever blue Your body and soul my tattoo And I ache for you I break for you For the love I'll never make with you I am forever blue
