Elizabeth & The Catapult - Last Opus lyrics

Like an ancient painting past its prime You're the only picture in my mind And you're sleeping so peacefully In a far-off world where you were mine And in the quiet hours of the dark There's a statue of you in my yard Made of pinecones and a honeydew I'll spend a lifetime resurrecting you And you're the opus I'm never to write again Never to finish in the end And you're the masterpiece lost inside my head Never to sound Never to sound again And I have tried to paint your eyes once more But I can never capture their true form Still I see you and I feel you 'Til my paintbrush splatters to the floor And you're the opus I'm never to write again Never to finish in the end You're the masterpiece lost inside my head Never to sound Never to sound again
