As hope and promise fade 
And the sun forgets to rise 
Well, I'm lonely and I'm thirsty 
But it's better I stay dry 

I'm never more than two drinks away from crying 

I stare into the glass 
Wait for the time to pass 
And I thank you for the offer 
But you know I must decline 

I'm never more than two drinks away from crying 

There used to be a time when I could hold my head up 
high 
My life laid out before me 
Rivers flow with wine 
I had my love beside me 
And everything was fine 
Now the ride is over 
Time to say goodbye 

As hope and promise fade 
Midnight turns to day 
Well, I'd love to drown my sorrow 
But I can not tell a lie 

I'm never more than two drinks away from crying 

From crying 

From crying
