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

With ripples and the rhymes

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

That is just the way it was

And 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, ah

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

So, he wrote it on a wall

The hollowest of halos is no halo at all

Televisions selling plastic figurines of leaders, saying nothing at all

And you chime, "Stars in Heaven align"

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ah

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

And what are we drinking when we're done?

Glasses of water
