Chris Cornell - 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 Never 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 me 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
