Heart-shaped Tattoo Lyrics

If there's a tear on your pretty little cheek
And clouds over the ocean wide
If there's eight words for snow and sixteen for rain
Then why are my lips still dry?
Oh, why are my lips still dry?
If there's a light in your window
And a flame in your heart
If there's stars up there in the prairie sky tonight
Then why am I still in the dark?
Oh, why am I still in the dark?

In the dark it's easy to mistake
Love for a heart-shaped tattoo
If only it were half that easy
To feel my way back to you
Oh, to feel my way back to you
If there's a blanket of light on the river
And the hills are bathing in gold
If the land is covered in cotton and down
Then why am I still in the cold?
Oh, why am I still in the cold?
I see a light in your window
I feel a flame in your heart
I'm lookin' up tonight and I see stars
And I wonder why I'm still in the dark
Oh, I wonder why am I still in the dark

In the dark it's easy to mistake
Love for a heart-shaped tattoo
If only it were half that easy
To feel my way back to you
Oh, to feel my way back to you
