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 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…
