Lyrics
Alice
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was destined for greatness
It's what my mother once told me
But now that i'm older
The future don't see the way she sees
Whiskey and the blues
Tissues i can't use
They don't dry it up
I don't use 'em no more
Alice oh alice
Where have ya been
There's light at the window
And it slowly pinches in
Alice oh alice
Time and misery
It moves rather slowly
It's the only way i see
I was destined for greatness
It's the way it shoulda been
But now that i'm older
I don't know what i wound up in
Oh whiskey and the blues
A language i can't use
It don't dry it up
No one listens anymore
Alice oh alice
Where have ya been
It's light at the window
And it slowly pinches in
Alice oh alice
Misery and time
It moves rather slowly
But at least i know it's mine
Alice oh alice
Where have ya been
It's light at the window
And it slowly pinches in
Alice oh alice
Misery and time
It moves so slowly
But i know for sure it's mine
