Chris Cornell - As Hope And Promise Fade Lyrics
As hope and promise fadeAnd the sun forgets to riseWell, I'm lonely and I'm thirstyBut it's better I stay dryI'm never more than two drinks away from cryingI stare into the glassWait for the time to passAnd I thank you for the offerBut you know I must declineI'm never more than two drinks away from cryingThere used to be a time when I could hold my head up highMy life laid out before meRivers flow with wineI had my love beside meAnd everything was fineNow the ride is overTime to say goodbyeAs hope and promise fadeMidnight turns to dayWell, I'd love to drown my sorrowBut I can not tell a lieI'm never more than two drinks away from cryingFrom cryingFrom crying
