As Hope And Promise Fade Lyrics

Scream (2009 - Hidden Track, incorrectly titled by fans: "Two Drink Minimum") / Songbook (2011 - track 1 - proper title)
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 Never more than two drinks away from crying
Stare into the glass And wait for the time to pass I thank you for the offer But you know I must decline [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/as-hope-and-promise-fade-lyrics-chris-cornell.html ] Never more than two drinks away from crying
There used to be a time when I could hold my head up high My life stretched out before me And rivers flowed with wine I had my love beside me and everything was fine Now the ride is over, it's hard to say goodbye
As hope and promise fade And midnight turns to day I'd love to drown my sorrow But I cannot tell a lie Never more than two drinks away from crying
