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
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
