Glass of Water

Scared of losing all the time

He wrote it in a letter

He was a friend of mine

He heard you could see your future

Inside a glass of water

The ripples and the lines

And he asked, "Will I see heaven in mine?"

That is just the way it was

Nothing could be better

And nothing ever was

Oh, they say you can see your future

Inside a glass of water

The riddles and the rhymes

Will I see heaven in mine?

Oh, oh, oh, oh, I

Son, don't ask

Neither half full or empty

Is the glass

Cling to the mast

Spend your whole life living in the past

Going nowhere fast

So he wrote it on a wall

The hollowest of halos

Is no halo at all

Television selling plastic figurines of leaders

Saying nothing at all

And you chime

Stars in heaven align

Oh, oh, oh, oh, I

Son, don't ask

Neither half full or empty

Is the glass

Cling to the mast

Spend your whole life living in the past

Going nowhere fast

Oh, what are we drinking when we're done?
