As Hope and Promise Fade (Cornell Chris)

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 awawy From crying There used to be a time When I could hold my 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 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…
