As Hope And Promise Fade Lyrics - Songbook - Chris Cornell

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 

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

And midnight turns to day

But I cannot tell a lie 

Never more than two drinks away from crying
