Masterpiece

Years, days, makes no difference to me babe You look exactly the same to me Ain't no time crossing your legs inside your diner Raising the coffee to your lips, are stained You saw the masterpiece She looks a lot like you Wrapping your 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 your 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 As an arrow, 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
