Chrissie Hynde - Adding The Blue lyrics

Everybody's asking where did you go? This was 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 clothes, held a pose Drawing your arms, your hands and veins 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 inside this brush That drips with red I can't draw from memories or photos I need blood and breath But you left me nothing Where did you go After you promised me a portrait Took off your clothes, held a pose Drawing your arms, your hands and veins 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 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 pa**ing thought, the pa**ing year, baby Where did you go After you promised me a portrait Took off your clothes, held a pose Drawing your arms, your hands and veins 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
