about

Words and Music: Glen Phillips (Umami Music / ASCAP)

lyrics

I pour a glass of hearty wine
I set the tables straight
I wear my jacket and my tie
And at the door I wait
The guests arrive in finery
And start to load their plates
But someone tell me if you could
Is this a wedding or a wake

I stand before you all my friends
We hold our glasses high
We drink a toast to life and love
And all that surely dies
To love revealed and hopes concealed
And who we need forsake
But tell me now am I the host
Of a wedding or a wake

The guests are gone
The hall is bare
I'm alone with my mistakes
And the answer still remains at large
Was it a wedding or a wake
Oh, a wedding or a wake
