Masterpiece Of Loneliness Lyrics - John Waite

Well I come home in the evening 

To the same old house alone 

And in the silence of these empty rooms 

I take shelter from the storm 

But I brought a paint box 

And some brushes to pass the time 

Since you've been gone 

It's a portrait of a broken man 

And the colors always run 

A figure in a landscape 

It's a work of art, you'll see 

A figure in a landscape 

It's a masterpiece of loneliness, that's me 

Well I climb the stairs in this haunted house 

To find your spirit everywhere 

With the bright stars on the rooftops 

And my old friend the moon is there 

But I can't quite get the colors right 

See I'm reaching for the deepest blue 

It's a one man show, I'm free again 

But still belong to you 

Chorus 

And I stand there in the kitchen light 

With your ghost and memories 

Got what I wanted I got my freedom 

But I miss you still 

Chorus
