I think I'm gonna take you in

Always had to follow my instincts

You there by the road wet and helpless

What happens if I take you home?
[Chorus]

And usually, it fades in the sun

Just a way to mark the years gone by

You lay on the couch

Three weeks

Until the color came back into your cheeks

I'd seen ones like you before

Plenty came through before

Legend on the shield in Greek

"What's that say?" you said

I gave you an answer that I thought you'd buy
G#m C# D#m G# B
All of this will disappear in the twinkling of an eye
[Chorus]
F#
You may forget the whys and wheres
Of an old tattoo on your forearm there

But not this one
