Masterpiece - Big Thief

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
