Shake the glass, shake the glass
Don’t look backwards, never ask
The way forward, it’s never sure
Love comes on the flip side of your hand
And sinks like water into sand

Shake the glass, shake my soul
Look around you at reality
Smell the roses of desire
When least expected you will come to me
We’ll walk upon a cloud of fire

Shake my soul, turn your head
The spirit sings a wayward song
The road is long, the path is short
All we can ask for is a breath of air
A touch, a kiss, a lock of hair.


Chorus

Hear my cry
Hold my love
It’s yours to keep
Don’t ask me why
So little time
Before eternal sleep.
So hold my love, yes hold my love
It’s yours to keep.
