So open promise fade
And the sun forgets to rise
I'm lonely and I'm thirsty

But it's better I stay dry
Never more than two drinks away from pain


Stare into the glass
And wait for the time to pass
And I thank you for the offer

But you know I must decline
Never more than two drinks away
From crying


There used to be a time
When I could hold my head up high

My life stretched out before me
And rivers flowed with wine
I had my love beside me

And everything was fine
Now the ride is over
It's hard to say goodbye


So open promise fades
And midnight turns to day

And I ... my sorrow
But I cannot tell a lie
Never more than 2 drinks away

From crying
