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 cryingStare 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 cryingThere 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 goodbyeAs 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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Chris Cornell (born Christopher John Boyle; July 20, 1964), Seattle, WA, United States, is an American singer/songwriter and guitarist

In 1984 he formed the band Soundgarden with bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Throughout the late 1980s and 90s, Soundgarden experienced major success as one of the major grunge bands (along with groups such as Alice in Chains, Nirvana, and Pearl Jam).

In 1990, Chris Cornell worked together with the (then) Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron, and Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament and Mike McCready (who would later form Pearl Jam) in a project named Temple of the Dog. They wrote a 10 song album as a tribute to Andrew Wood, the singer of Mother Love Bone who had died the year before of a heroin overdose.

In 1997 Soundgarden split at the zenith of their popularity due to tensions in the group and Chris began a solo career. He released the sucessful album Euphoria Morning. Out of this album came the single Can't Change Me.

When Zack De La Rocha left Rage Against the Machine in 2001, Chris Cornell joined the instrumentalists of Rage Against the Machine to form the band Audioslave.

In 2006 Chris recorded a theme song for the James Bond 007 movie, "Casino Royale", titled You Know My Name, which is used as the opening song.

In the fall of 2006, Cornell started recording his second solo album Carry On, with producer Steve Lillywhite. Among some fellow artists who are expected to accompany him on his second solo release is friend and legendary musician Gary Lucas, who has contributed acoustic guitar to some of the tracks. Cornell has stated that he is always writing, and that there are some songs that he was not able to put into an Audioslave album. Carry On was released in the summer of 2007.

On February 15, 2007, Chris Cornell issued a statement that he was leaving Audioslave, shortly after Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk reunited with their former vocalist Zack de la Rocha to reform Rage Against the Machine.

Chris Cornell released his third solo album, Scream, with American rapper and record producer Timbaland on February 3rd, 2009. This album was a critical failure, and sold poorly. It is rumored that he is going to try and "De-Timbalandize" the tracks.

On January 1st, 2010, Chris Cornell announced the reunion of Soundgarden after a 12 year hiatus.
