Two Drink Minimum

Chris Cornell

1. So open promise fades
   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

2. Stare into the glass
   and wait for the time to pass
   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
   But now the ride is over, it's hard to say goodbye

3. So open promise fades
   and midnight turns to day
   I'd love to drown my sorrow
   but I cannot tell a lie
   No more than two drinks away from crying
