Deep breath, sit still, you’ll love it, I know you will
That’s when I closed my eyes and nothing was ever the same
It went so deep down to where my demons sleep
Black ink spell your name and nothing’s ever gona be the same
I can tell you all about, the fun we had, the night walks along the beach
I can tell you about the flowers I pulled from the spring fields covered in autumn leaves
But when it’s all over now and I wonder how something so good could end
I look way down onto my side and am reminded of an old friend
It spells out your name in black there’s no going back, I was for keeps you said
Remember the first night we drank and ran through the towns then ended up in my bed
And you told me I’m your king; you can be my queen of a distant country
You just lay there with desperation in your eyes and said come and conquer me
I can’t tell you, how much I loved you; the mark you left upon me is a black scar upon my skin
The first time you saw your name laid out on me so perfectly
Tender at the touch of your silk skin, young love was you and me
Like we were two caged birds just let out ready to rule the world
And the streets could be on fire, the world could fall but that don’t matter cos I’ve got this girl
This girl who told me I’m her king, she’s my queen and, in an empty candle lit ball room we danced
Me with my shirt half opened and your name obscured, never been good at romance
So it must mean this ink etched skin and the name within it mean we’re for keeps
We’re going to get married, have some kids and watch them as they sleep
Where have you gone? Where are you my dear, one moment you’re in my arms now you’re no longer here
Those long cold nights of shouting and screaming; now these fingers stroke your name searching for the meaning
Like a magician one minute you were stood here then the next my angel you disappear
But your name is forever scared on me, reminding me of how beautiful young love can me
