Gordon Lightfoot – All I'm After lyrics
All I'm after is to be on your winning side
All I need is to be turning back the tide
'Cause I care too much for the life that I lead
What you're thinking could be anybody's guess
All I'm after is the sun and the summer nights
By the seashore, don't want no more neon lights
Just the sand and the sky as the hours roll by
Ain't it funny, how the world seems to be back there in my dreams
All I see is my reflection in your wild and winsome ways
Ain't it funny, life feels different every day
All I'm after is to be the flame in your tattoo
Be the one girl who can thrill me through and through
This is just a guess but I must confess
It feels better being certain
Please excuse my truthfulness
What I'm seeing's worth believing
When you thrill me like you do
So you wonder why my feelings never fade
I think I got it made
In the evening when the rain begins to fall
That's when I wonder if you think of me at all
But you sound so sad, in your special way
Ain't it funny, life feels different with each new passing day
All I need is my reflection in your wild and windswept ways
Ain't it funny how life changes every day

    This is one of my favorite songs by my favorite artist. It is so romantic. Lightfoot is such a prolific poet and composer. He "brings" you to a certain place that you've been sometime in your lifetime and stirs up all those feelings of being in love. At first I did not like this song because it sounded too old fashion to me. But one day, for some reason, I really paid attention to the lyrics and fell in love with this song. " All I'm after is to be the flame in your tattoo" -doesn't get better than that.
