True Love Will Never Fade Lyrics
True love will never fade.
True love will never fade.
True love will never fade.
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 the 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.
True love will never fade.
True love will never fade.
I work the rowdies and the day-trippers,
Now and then I think of you.
Any which way we're all shuffling
Forward in the queue.
They'd like to move my operation,
They'd like to get me off the pier,
And I dream I'm on a steamer,
Pulling out of here.
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.
True love will never fade.
True love will never fade.
True love will never fade.
True love will never fade.
True love will never fade.
True love will never fade.
True love will never fade.
True love will never fade.
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.
That was up to you.
There's so many come to see me
Who want their own tattoo.
I fixed a needle in the holder,
Laid my hand upon your spine,
And there upon your shoulder,
I drew the picture as your sign.
I see the picture that we made.
The picture to remind us
True love will never fade.
True love will never fade.
True love will never fade.
True love will never fade.
Now and then I think of you.
Any which way we're all shuffling
Forward in the queue.
They'd like to move my operation,
They'd like to get me off the pier,
And I dream I'm on a steamer,
Pulling out of here.
I see the picture that we made.
The picture to remind us
True love will never fade.
True love will never fade.
True love will never fade.
True love will never fade.
True love will never fade.
True love will never fade.

simple tattoo , a mark of love that never fades
This is a tongue-in-cheek ballad about a guy who fell in love with a tattoo customer. It's all in his head--there's no relationship. She hasn't thought about him since she left his shop. But his tattoo, emblem of his true love, will never fade. Really very clever, and very characteristic of Knopfler.
