A Skull with a Teardrop - Roddy Woomble

You stood at the bar and whispered to me

If life had never had more meaning

It was innocent enough

But the comment kept calling me back

Much like love, love in the distance

Acted out on stage

When the theatre is closed

Alice, you’re as old as the ocean

And that makes you older than the rain

With every libation, you’ll know me less and less

Yet we continue to talk in this vein endlessly

Doesn’t the moon look so beautiful?

Like a skull with a teardrop

Only if you could understand my heart

Understand my heart at my loss

You picked up a glass and threw it at the mirror

Not even breathing

My luck drags days behind me

Suffocating and not even breathing

Love can’t be pain

It’s delusional, illusional, not even real

Just something you wish you could feel

Alice, you’re as old as the ocean

Just don’t keep calling my name

Every libation you don’t need to explain

'cause our conversation always stays the same endlessly

Doesn’t the moon look so beautiful?

Like a skull with a teardrop

Only if you can understand my heart

Understand my heart at my loss

Doesn’t the moon look so beautiful?

Like a skull with a teardrop

Only if you can understand my heart

Understand my heart at my loss
