Lyrics:
THE GLASS
He looked up from the glass
he held so tenderly
I could see in his eyes
a sad memory
Had he had enough
was the question that I asked
But he just smiled and nodded
towards his empty glass
Somewhere in the whiskey
a man stood proud and tall
He’d conquered many demons
both big and small
He’d had it rough sometime
in his past
But he’d came through it all
with the help of the glass
Oh the glass, the glass
It’s ruined many a man
Broken down homes
That forever should stand
Oh the glass, the glass
That bottomless glass
Has ruined many a future
While conquering,
While conquering the past
He got up from the barstool
headed for that door
His footsteps uneasy
as he shuffled across the floor
I’d seen him almost stumble
but never seen him fall
And the glass is always empty
when he comes back down the hall
REPEAT CHORUS
Oh I’ve often wondered
who first held the glass
That helped him forget
a painful past
And how it came about
that many a man
Found a cure for his misery
from the glass in his hand
REPEAT CHORUS
