Glass of water
Scared of losing all the timeHe wrote it in a letterHe was a friend of mineHe heard you could see your futureInside a glass of waterThe ripples and the linesAnd he asked"Will I see heaven in mine?"
That is just the way it wasNothing could be betterAnd nothing ever wasOh they say you can see your futureInside a glass of waterThe riddles and the rhymesWill I see heaven in mine?Oh oh oh oh ISon, don't askNeither half full or emptyIs the glass
Cling to the mastSpend your whole life living in the pastGoing nowhere fast
So he wrote it on a wallThe hollowest of halosIs no halo at allTelevision sellingPlastic figurines of leadersSaying nothing at allAnd you chimeStars in heaven alignOh oh oh oh ISon, don't askNeither half full or emptyIs your glass
Cling to the mastSpend your whole life living in the pastGoing nowhere fast
Oh what are we drinking when we're done?Glasses of water
