[Verse 1]
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, the steam
[Chorus]
You saw the masterpiece
She looks a lot like you
Wrapping your left arm 'round your right
Ready to walk you through
The night
[Verse 2]
You whispered 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
[Chorus]
You saw the masterpiece
She looks a lot like you
Wrapping your left arm 'round your right
Ready to walk you through
The night
[Verse 3]
All the 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
There's an arrow, blue and red
Took a drawn breathe and said to me
[Chorus]
You saw the masterpiece
She looks a lot like me
Wrapping my left arm 'round your right
Ready to walk you through
The night
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
'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

I wake up with it and start my day with it. I think the lyrics are so beautiful and I was interested to hear how it would sound on piano. It sounds really pretty, and even though it’s a really dark song, it’s got something lovely and light about it. I’ve always loved music like that.
