Bernard Butler and Jessie Buckley - Seven Red Rose Tattoos

Flower tattoos are infected
They are sunbathing in the rain
In a world where love is lost on loners
I'm on a quest to find love again

I have seven red rose tattoos
Seven years of a lost childhood
In a world where love is lost on loners
I'm on a quest to find love again

Silk worms born in a black velvet fur
Crystallize then disappear
I am overcome with slumber
'Til I wake to shed my skin
I have seven red rose tattoos
Burning inside and afraid
In a world where love is lost on loners
I'm on a quest to find love again
I'm on a quest to find love again

Built a matchstick temple
Monument to all this pain
Set our homes on fire
Watched my memories fall away

I have seven red rose tattoos
For each of us that's left
There's no longer a native country
I'm on a quest to find love again
I'm on a quest to find love again

Mmm
I'm on a quest to find love again
