Chris Cornell - As Hope and Promise Fade lyrics

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 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
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 lonely and I’m thirsty
But, I can no more tell a lie
Never more than two drinks away from crying

From crying
