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
Are stained
You saw the masterpiece
She looks a lot like you
Wrapping your left arm round 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 run
But you saw the masterpiece
She looks a lot like you
Wrapping her left arm round 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 say
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 will even walk you in my stride
Hurry
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
