| 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 | |
