As Hope And Promise Fade 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
