Glass of Water - Live in Sydney, 2009

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

With ripples and the rhymes

He asked will I see heaven in mine?

Oh that is just the way it was

And nothing could be better

And nothing ever was

And they say you can see your future

Inside a glass of water

With riddles and the rhymes

But will I see heaven in mine?

Oh, oh, oh

Son, don't ask

Neither how full nor empty is your glass

Cling to the mast

So he wrote it on a wall

The hollowest of halos

Is no halo at all

And Televisions selling plastic figurines of leaders

Saying nothing at all

And you chime

Stars in heaven align

Oh

Son, don't ask

Neither how full nor empty is your glass

Cling to the mast

Spend your whole life living in the past

Going nowhere fast

What are we drinking when we're done, just glasses of water
