Waltzing Matilda: Tattooed on my Soul

Thursday, October 31, 2013

Great song came on the rotation when I was pulling into work today. Had to just stop and sit and listen.

True love will never fade

True love will never fade

I wonder if there's no forever / No walking hand in hand

Down a yellow brick road / To never never land

These days I get to where I'm going / Make it there eventually

Follow the trail of breadcrumbs / To where I'm meant to be

To where I'm meant to be

I don't know what brought you to me / That was up to you

There's so many come to see me / Who want their own tattoo

I fixed a needle in a holder / Laid my hand upon your spine

And there upon your shoulder / I drew the picture as your sign

When I think about us / I see the picture that we made

The picture to remind us / True love will never fade

True love will never fade

I worked the rowdies and day trippers / Now and then I think of you

Any which way we're all shufflin' / Forward in the queue

They like to move my operation / They like to get me off the pier

And I dream I'm on a steamer / Pullin' outta here

When I think about us / I see a picture that we made

The picture to remind us / True love will never fade

True love will never fade

--Mark Knopfler (2007)
