Have a seat at the table, my new dear friend And all I know, I'll tell There is no end, no great reward No Heaven high or Hell Your past is a memory soon to be Left to fade in time Your future just a fever dream A construct of your mind Trade your water in for wine, my brother While you're young and free and sound Remember you aren't guaranteed A second time around Looks like you've fallen on some hard times, friend Well, don't you find it odd That good folks just like you and me Feel cast aside by God While the Gulf Coast drowns in the wind and rain California catches fire And it's no fault of yours nor mine Nor a wrathful angel's choir Trade the water for the wine, my brother While you're young and free and sound Remember no one's guaranteed A second time around All you ever needed was some help along To see what's really true I'll teach you all you need to know What the world would keep from you And I won't ask much, but in return Just free that from your mind Well, the deal is struck, the trade is made We'll settle in due time
