Big Thief - Masterpiece lyrics
[Big Thief - Masterpiece lyrics]
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, 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 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
