Adding the Blue
Chrissie Hynde

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 passing thought, the passing 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
