Chrissie Hynde Adding The Blue
[Verse 1]
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 colors
[Chorus]
Where did you go?
After you promised me a portrait
Took off your clothers, held a pose
Drawing your arms
Your hands and veins and fingers
And your lips, your broken nose
On your eyes
So just stare into the distance
Please don't move, whatever you do
While I'm adding the blue
[Verse 2]
I know I'm not Monet or Van Gogh
I can't draw like S. Clay Wilson
Come inside this brush that drips with red
And I can't draw from memories or photos
I need blood and breath
But you left me nothing
[Chorus]
Where did you go?
After you promised me a portrait
Took off your clothers, held a pose
Drawing your arms
Your hands and veins and fingers
And your lips, your broken nose
On your eyes
So just stare into the distance
Please don't move, whatever you do
While I'm adding the blue
[Bridge]
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
The promises were never good
The smell of human sweat and tears
A passing thought, the passing years
Well, baby
[Chorus]
Where did you go?
After you promised me a portrait
Took off your clothers, held a pose
Drawing your arms
Your hands and veins and fingers
And your lips, your broken nose
On your eyes
So just stare into the distance
Please don't move, whatever you do
While I'm adding the blue
[Outro]
While I'm adding the blue
While I'm adding the blue
