Lyrics A Skull with a Teardrop - Roddy Woomble

A Skull with a Teardrop

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
