Lyrics:
 
1st verse -
 
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
 
2nd verse -
 
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
 
3rd verse
 
There used to be a time
When I could hold me 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
 
Final verse
 
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 crying….from crying…
