[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
In the quiet hours of the dark
There's a statue of you in my yard
Made of pinecones and honey too
Spend a lifetime resurrecting you

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
I have tried to paint your eyes once more
But I could never capture their true form
Still, I see you
And I feel you
Till my paintbrush splatters to the floor

[Chorus]
And you're the opus I'm never to write again
Never to finish
You're the masterpiece lost inside my head
Never to sound
Never to sound again
