Adding The Blue - Chrissie Hynde

Everybody’s asking where did you go?

This gonna be my masterpiece

The paint’s not even dry yet, oh no

Everybody’s asking where did you go?

This gonna be my masterpiece

The paint’s not even dry yet, oh no

I could trace the outline of a shadow

I need blood and breath

To mix my colours

Where did you go?

After you promised me a portrait

Took off your clothers, held a pose

Drawing youour arms, your hands and vens and fingers and your lips

Broken nose

On your eyes, so just stare into the distance

Please don’t move

Whatever you do

While i’m adding the blue

I know i’m not monet or van gogh

I can’t draw like S. Clay Wilson

You got insede the brush

That chips with red

I can’t draw from memories or photos

I need blood and breath

But you left me nothing

Closed this chapter yesterday

Take this page and throw it away

Fill the holes in

Sand the wall

You were never here at all

The warmth where someone never stood

Promises were never good

The smell of human sweat and tears

A passing thought

The paing year baby
