As Hope and Promise Fade

	So open 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 pain
	Stare into the glass
	And wait for the time to pass
	And I thank you for the offer
	But you know I must decline
	No 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
	So open promise fades
	And midnight turns to day
	And I find you for the …
	But I cannot tell a lie
	Never more than 2 drinks away
	From crying.
