Sade Live |Open Air Theater San Diego, 1993|*LIKE A TATTOO Lyrics*He told me sweet lies of sweet love\nHeavy with the burden of the truth\nAnd he spoke of his dreams\nBroken by the burden\nBroken by the burden of his youth\nFourteen years he said\nI couldn\'t look into the sun\nShe saw him laying at the end of my gun\nHungrey for life\nAnd thirsty for the distant river\nIremember his hands\nAnd the way the mountains looked\nThe light shot diamonds from his eyes\nHungry for life\nAnd thirsty for the distant river\nLike the scar of age\nWritten all over my face\nThe war is still raging inside of me\nI still feel the chill\nAs i reveal my shame to you\nI wear it like a tattoo\nIwear it like a tattoo\nI wear it like a tattoo Sade, Tattoo
