Wine into Water

Lift up your glass and toast the night
We will be young forever
Turning water into wine
Breaking glasses in the glamour
Until stumbling
We clatter crash into mirrors
our mistakes shattered
cutting everyone around us.
And in the darkest night we now
lift up our glass and toast the night
we will regret forever
turning wine into water
salt on cheeks a well to drink
until we drown in the endeavor
Clatter clash into mirrors
our mistakes shattered
cutting everyone around us.
Yet cuts begin to heal
Bodies young yield
The glass is lifted high
sweet remorse and prayer
a dram of memory to drink
water to wine and wine to water
we gather our hearts
and we sing
a bluebird of happiness
a lark
and a mockingbird
in every song we dream.
