As hope and 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 crying
|
|
Stare into the glass
|
And wait for the time to pass
|
And thank you for the offer
|
But you know I must decline
|
Never more than two drinks awawy
|
From crying
|
|
There used to be a time
|
When I could hold my head up high
|
My life layed out before me
|
Rivers flow with wine
|
I had my love beside me
|
And everything was fine
|
But now the ride is over
|
It's hard to say goodbye
|
|
As hope and promise fade
|
And midnight turns to day
|
Well I'm tired and I'm thirsty
|
But it's better I stay dry
|
Never more than two drinks away
|
From cryinga€|
|
From cryinga€|
|
