As Hope and Promise Fade [Live] Lyrics
As hope and promise fades
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
And 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 flowed with wine
And 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 fades
And midnight turns to day
I'd love to drown my sorrow
But I cannot tell a lie
I'm never more than two drinks away
From crying
Yeah
From crying
From crying
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
And 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
When I could hold my head up high
My life laid out before me
Rivers flowed with wine
And had my love beside me
And everything was fine
But now the ride is over
It's hard to say goodbye
And midnight turns to day
I'd love to drown my sorrow
But I cannot tell a lie
I'm never more than two drinks away
From crying
Yeah
From crying
From crying
