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
