Scared of losing all the tim e
He wrote it i n a le tter
He was a frie nd of mine
He heard you could see your future
In side a gla ss of wat er
Th e ripples a nd the l ines
And he asked
"Will I see heaven in mine ?"
That is just the w ay it w as
Nothing co uld be be tter
And nothing ev er was
Oh they say you can se e your fu ture
In side a gla ss of wat er
The riddles an d the rh ymes
Will I see heaven in mine ?
Oh oh oh oh I
Son
don't ask
Neither half full or emp ty
Is the glass
Cling
to the mast
Spend your whol e life liv ing
in the past
Going nowhere fast
So he wrote it o n a wa ll
The hollowest of halo s
Is no ha-lo a t all
Tele vision sel ling pla stic
figur-ines of lead ers
Say ing noth ing at all
And you chime
Stars in heaven align
Oh oh oh oh I
Son
don't ask
Neither half full or emp ty
Is the glass
Cling
to the mast
Spend your whol e life liv ing
in the past
Going nowhere fast
Oh what are we drinking when we're done ?
Glasses of water
