My parting glass song. A sharing of good times with good friends, so important, for who knows what lies ahead.
Back to lyrics index
Let's have another drink
To give me time to think
I know I cannot stay much longer
And the comfort that we feel
Was never here for real
And come the light of day we'll all be gone
Chorus
'Cos they've got us all pretending
That this world is never-ending
And there's nothing really left worth fighting for
And tonight you'll be me friend
Pledge life until the end
Let's have another glass before we go
Let's have another drink
By this fire while I think
And sit amongst you all to keep me warm
It's not often I'm afraid
But I can see the day coming
When all the nights and friends and drinks are gone
Chorus
Let's have another drink
well it makes you think
I remember falling in love
And everything was changed
it could never be the same
let's have another glass before we go
Chorus
Let's have another drink
now I just don't want to think
there's nothing to be done to make us stay
and the comfort that we feel
was never here for real
we'll all be gone come the light of day
Chorus
Let's have another drink before we go

"I took the disc home and put it on the CD player and I've got to tell you something. I don't think I can remember a time when I was so completely engrossed, impressed, entranced, I do believe that this song is very special indeed - from the CD Roadside Dreams by Ribbon Road, the beautiful voice of Brenda Heslop - I just think this is simply amazing."
Mike Harding
"Songwriter Brenda Heslop has a secret, and she will whisper it in your ear: but a shocking secret, and its effect on you is much greater than you expect from a whisper. True, Brenda's secrets are in song, but the effect of her quiet vocals and harmonies with husband Geoff whacks you in the lughole and makes you pay attention."
