The “parting glass”, or “stirrup cup”, was the final hospitality offered to a departing guest. Once they had mounted, they were presented one final drink to fortify them for their travels. This song is inspired by the recent Wilbur and Tubbo lore stream, and the original Scottish song with the same...
[Verse 1]
I've lived enough to become the villain in your eyes
I know I've caused you the pain and your demise
And if I can just redo it one more time
But my pride can't let this thing go one last time
[Verse 2]
I always knew that I've been doomed to fall
Within the walls I built, I may have stood too tall
And I'm tired to crawl, so hear me one more time
Can you pick me up again just one last time?
[Chorus]
I just have to clean up all the mess I made
I just have to try to write again thе story
And for sure I'll be remеmbered for what's good and only good
So fill to me the parting glass
Goodbye and joy be with you all
(Fill to me)
(Fill to me)
[Verse 3]
You might think this is the best escape
I'd die a million times and live the same fate
There is nothing else to do with wasting time
Can we raise my final glass for one last time?
[Chorus]
I just have to clean up all the mess I made
I just have to try to write again the story
And for sure I'll be remembered for what's good and only good
So fill to me the parting glass
Goodbye and joy be with you all
[Bridge]
A man may drink and not be drunk
A man may fight and not be slain
A man may court a pretty girl
And perhaps be welcomed back again
But since it has so ought to be
By a time to rise and a time to fall
[Outro]
Come fill to me the parting glass
Goodbye and joy be with you all
Goodbye and joy be with you all
Goodbye and joy be with
