Masterpiece

Years, days, makes no difference to me babe

You look exactly the same to me

Ain't no time, crossing your legs inside the diner

Raising your coffee to your lips, the steam

You saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like you

Wrapping her left arm around your right

Ready to walk you through the night

You whisper to a restless ear, "can you get me out of here?

This place smells like piss and beer, can you get me out?"

You were asking me, how to get you free

I only know the recipe to roam

You saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like you

Wrapping her left arm around your right

Ready to walk you through the night

Old stars

Filling up my throat

You gave em to me when I was born

Now they're coming out

Laying there on the hospital bed your eyes were narrow, blue and red

You took a draw of breath and said to me

You saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like me

Wrapping my left arm round your right

Ready to walk you through the night

Old friends, old mothers, dogs and brothers

There's only so much letting go you can ask someone to do

So I keep you by my side, I will not give you to the tide

I'll even walk you in my stride, Marie

Cause I saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like you

Wrapping your left arm round my right

Ready to walk me through the night
