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

but it's better I stay dry
No more than two drinks away
from crying


Stare into the glass
and wait for the time to pass

And thank you for the offer
but you know I must decline
No 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

and had my love beside me
and everything was fine
But now the ride is over

It's hard to say goodbye

So open promise fades

and midnight turns to day
I'd love to drown my sorrow
but I cannot tell a lie

No more than two drinks away
from crying
