Lyrics

I asked them, so they told me
And now I don’t know how to feel
More) precisely, they put it nicely
As if blood and flesh and bone could turn to steel.

This time there were nine,
But it could be a hundred
Or a hundred thousand more
I’m drinking water instead of wine,
So let it pour.

It doesn’t seem like the words are spoken
They’re more like broken pictures drawn in shifting sand
Still I read them because I need them
I guess it’s good to know exactly where you stand

This time there were nine,
But it could be a hundred
Or a hundred thousand more
I’m drinking water instead of wine,
So let it pour

Now the voices begin to tell me
That I need to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes
But they don’t know me, and I’m so weary
You shouldn’t push someone with nothing left to lose

Now the words that are spoken seem
Like broken lights
Beyond a closing door
I’m drinking water instead of wine
So let it pour, let it pour, let it pour

I’m drinking water instead of wine,
So let it pour
