Half-Empty Glass JP 550

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse] There's a crack in the floor where the memories seep Like rain through the roof while the world’s asleep An old guitar hums in a box by the stairs Whispering secrets but, nobody cares [Verse 2] The sun's not out But the shadows still play They dance with the dust on a long-lost day Mama’s old quilt has holes in the seams Pull it on over to catch all your dreams [Chorus] The glass is half-empty Or is it half-full Of whiskey and blame Or a love grown dull Depends on the hand and the heart that's in play Life's a jukebox tune Just one coin away [Verse 3] The clock's a liar It cheats while it ticks You can’t fix the time with a box of old tricks The train don’t stop if the track's not fine But the rust feels like home Like a lover’s line [Bridge] Maps are for strangers And roads for the lost Each turn has a toll But who counts the cost? A bird on the wire sings low and sweet And breaks his heart when the songs repeat [Verse 4] There's a letter on the table A tear in the ink It says more than the words More than you think It stayed unopened Like a door left ajar Some roads lead nowhere But you’ve gone too far [Outro Chorus] The glass is shattered, But the shards still reflect, A thousand small moments, You can't recollect. Depends on the gaze and the soul that remains, Life's a broken record, With bittersweet refrains. The glass is shattered, But the shards still reflect, A thousand small moments, You can't recollect. Depends on the gaze and the soul that remains, Life's a broken record, With bittersweet refrains. [musical solo] [fade to end] [end]
