So open promise fade, | |
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 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 | |
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 | |
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 find you for the … | |
But I cannot tell a lie | |
Never more than 2 drinks away | |
From crying. |
So open promise fade, | |
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 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 | |
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 | |
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 find you for the | |
But I cannot tell a lie | |
Never more than 2 drinks away | |
From crying. |
So open promise fade, | |
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 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 | |
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 | |
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 find you for the | |
But I cannot tell a lie | |
Never more than 2 drinks away | |
From crying. |
