As Hope And Promise Fade

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’m lonely and I’m thirsty

But I can not tell a lie

I'm never more than two drinks away from crying

From crying

From crying
