A Little Drop of Poison

I saw it on the news yesterday

A story 'bout a girl who lost her way

Never thought to come in from the rain

As time forgotten memories live on

Took me for the fool I've become

Still you know I miss the songs she sung

I saw her in a dream late last night

Singing Back to Black without a mic

Only to be lovers in my mind

One shot, a little drop of poison (a little drop of poison)

A short stop on the long way homeward

One day they'll find you in the morning

With eyes opened wide

One shot, a little drop of poison (a little drop of poison)

The sheer ease of self-destruction

One day, lost but not forgotten

We'll see you by and by

I saw it on the news yesterday

Saw them lining up to see your face

All I thought to do was turn away

So sing it for the reputations lost

Ask it, for the question lingers on

Who's that at the door when God is gone?

One shot, a little drop of poison (a little drop of poison)

A short stop on the long way homeward

One day they'll find you in the morning

With eyes opened wide

One shot, a little drop of poison (a little drop of poison)

The sheer ease of self-destruction

One day, lost but not forgotten

We'll see you by and by

I saw it on the news yesterday

A story 'bout a girl who lost her way

Never thought to come in from the rain
