Greg Winkler: Music
Blue Tattoo
(Greg Winkler)
Thanks to Thomas Burns of the calicodrifters for recording, tinkering, and playing lead on this song.
There is an ocean beyond the China Sea
That I will be crossing over soon
I’ve got to go home and see what’s left for me
I’ve got to go home and find the moon
I see you flying
Away on the wings of a blue tattoo
And I might be crying even if
Even if I’d never met you
There is a highway that winds up from the sea
It’s waiting for everyone to climb
I started with nothing except what fit in me
I fall for that number every time
I see you flying
Away on the wings of a blue tattoo
And I might be crying even if
Even if I’d never met you
There is a river that winds down to the sea
And into the ocean, o’er I’m bound
I’ve got to keep moving, I’m so much lighter on my feet
And there’s always another lonesome town
I see you flying
Away on the wings of a blue tattoo
And I might be crying even if
Even if I’d never met you
I see you flying
Away on the wings of a blue tattoo
And I might be crying even if
Even if I’d never met you
