Glass of a Stranger

 Once the sun, it said
 Goodbye to the dawn
 For my light it will begin to wane
 And the night it holds so much charm
 With all of its tricks of the trade
 That beg you to fall gently in
 All of the tricks of the trade
 Like the dance where you spin
 And spin

 Once a pimp, he said
 This bitch was comin', leaving
 And once his whore, she said,
 You can only bleed when you're breathing
 And you've got to find your way
 To figure out you're gonna be
 You've got to find your way
 To keep the blood flowing 'round
 And 'round

 Let Joy take the hand of all those who will take her on
 And hear the sound through a blade of grass
 And drink of what's been offered from a stranger's glass

 Once a father, he drew
 Two simple clocks in the sand
 His desire was to make
 His middle daughter try to understand
 How a man's plan can change
 The awful, dreary hands of time
 How one man's plan can change
 Given over to the divine

 Let Joy take the hand of all those who will take her on
 And hear the sound through a blade of grass
 And drink of what's been offered from a stranger's glass

 Let Joy take the hand of all those who will take her on
 And hear the sound through a blade of grass
 And drink of what's been offered from a stranger's glass

 And drink of what's been offered from a stranger's glass
 And drink up what has been offered from a stranger's glass
