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 rhymes
Will I see heaven in mine?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ah Son
Don't ask
Neither half 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
Ohhhhhhhh
Ah Son
Don't ask
Neither half full nor empty is your glass
Cling
to the mast
Spend your whole life living in the past
Going nowhere fast
x4
x2
Oh what are we drinking when we're done
Glasses of water
