Dave
Standing on the sidewalk outside a tattoo parlor in Ottawa one day I overheard a young woman talking to her girlfriend. She had just broken up with this guy. He had a problem. It seems he couldn't cope with the tattoo of a former boyfriend on her thigh. Every time they made love he was reminded of DAVE.


Lyrics
You must have thought a lot of him
When you had it done
A permanent signature
Of love just begun
But time became you enemy
It erased everything
Except that purple tattoo
Shaped like a double ring

Chorus:
I don't need a road map when we kiss
But there's one place I always try to miss
It's a little part of you that I don't know
One distant place my heart can never go
And I confess sometimes
I wish that I was Dave

True love is indelible
It's not like sidewalk chalk
Once it penetrates the heart
You can't rub it off
I did my best to leave a mark
deep inside of you
But when I got up close
Dave kept showing through

Repeat Chorus
Repeat First verse
End
