Dirty Wine Glass
Grateful Moments: Reflections in Dirty Wine Glasses
Lyrics
Found your dirty wine glass in the sink
Discovering a used wine glass in the sink
You don't ask for money for groceries
The person doesn't request money for groceries
But I bend over backwards for you
Putting in significant effort for the other person
I don't think you saw me that night at the bar
The singer believes the person didn't notice them that particular night at the bar
Watching you smiling at passing train cars
Observing the person smiling at passing train cars
I've never seen a moment so true
A moment witnessed by the singer, perceived as genuine
Transxed on gold skyline
Intensely focused on a beautiful, golden skyline
I watched you taking in the natural design
Witnessing the person appreciating natural beauty
I felt all it meant to you
Feeling deeply the significance of the moment for the other person
But it ended when I opened my eyes
The experience ended when the singer 'woke up' or became aware
You bought us the biggest glass you could buy
The person purchased a large glass, possibly for shared use
We drank from it in all bathed in setting sunlight
Shared a moment of drinking together in the sunset
I've watched it in my mind so many times
The memory of that moment replays frequently in the singer's mind
The water, your soft eyes
Recalling the water and the person's gentle eyes
You're all man and all child
The person embodies both masculine and childlike qualities
We laughed to the bright sky
Shared laughter under a bright sky
And felt everything coming to life
Feeling a surge of life and vitality in that moment
Don't bother with details
Emphasizing the importance of the emotional experience over specifics
Only the feeling
Urging to focus solely on the emotions elicited, not the particulars
All I can feel is grateful, yea
Feeling overwhelming gratitude
All I can feel is grateful
Reiterating the overwhelming sense of gratitude
The water, your soft eyes
Reiterating the memory of the water and the person's tender eyes
You're all man and all child
Highlighting the person's dual nature: mature yet childlike
All I can feel is grateful, yeah
Continued overwhelming feeling of gratitude
All I can feel is grateful
Continued emphasis on the depth of gratitude
Is grateful, yeah
Repeating the sentiment of feeling grateful
