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 the coffee to

Your lips, are stained

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 whispered 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

You're laying there on the hospital bed

As a narrow blue and red

Took a draw of breath

And said to me

You saw the masterpiece

She looks a lot like me

Wrapping my left arm

Around 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

Around my right

Ready to walk me through

The night
