Rose Tattoo Lyrics - Signed And Sealed In Blood - Dropkick Murphys

The pictures tell the story 

This life has many shades 

I'd wake up every morning and before I'd start each day 

I'd take a drag from last night's cigarette 

That smoldered in it's tray 

Down a little something and then be on my way 

I traveled far and wide 

And laid this head in many ports 

I was guided by a compass 

I saw beauty to the north 

I drew the tales of many lives 

And wore the faces of my own 

I had these memories all around me 

So I wouldn't be alone 

Some may be from showing up 

Others are from growing up 

Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue 

I ain't winning no one over 

I wear it just for you 

I've got your name written here 

In a rose tattoo 

In a rose tattoo 

In a rose tattoo 

I've got your name written here 

In a rose tattoo 

This one's for the mighty sea 

Mischief, gold and piracy 

This ones for the man that raised me 

Taught me sacrifice and bravery 

This one's for our favorite game 

Black and gold, we wave the flag 

This one's for my family name 

With pride I wear it to the grave 

Some may be from showing up 

Others are from growing up 

Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue 

I ain't winning no one over 

I wear it just for you 

I've got your name written here 

In a rose tattoo 

In a rose tattoo 

In a rose tattoo 

I've got your name written here, 

In a rose tattoo 

In a rose tattoo 

In a rose tattoo 

I've got your name written here 

In a rose tattoo 

This one means the most to me 

Stays here for eternity 

A ship that always stays the course 

An anchor for my every choice 

A rose that shines down from above 

I signed and sealed these words in blood 

I heard them once, sung in a song 

It played again and we sang along 

You'll always be there with me 

Even if you're gone 

You'll always have my love 

Our memory will live on 

Some may be from showing up 

Others are from growing up 

Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue 

I ain't winning no one over 

I wear it just for you 

I've got your name written here 

In a rose tattoo 

In a rose tattoo 

In a rose tattoo 

I've got your name written here, 

In a rose tattoo 

In a rose tattoo 

In a rose tattoo 

With pride I'll wear it to the grave for you 

In a rose tattoo 

In a rose tattoo 

I've got your name written here, 

In a rose tattoo 

In a rose tattoo 

In a rose tattoo 

Signed and sealed in blood I would die for you 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 

Oh, oh, oh 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 

Oh, oh, oh
