|
I'm feeling mighty lonesome |
|
Haven't slept a wink |
|
I walk the floor and watch the door |
|
And in between I drink |
|
Black coffee |
|
Love's a hand me down brew |
|
I'll never know a Sunday |
|
In this weekday room |
|
I'm talking to the shadows |
|
From 1 o'clock til 4 |
|
And lord, how slow the moments go |
|
When all I do is pour |
|
Black coffee |
|
Since the blues caught my eye |
|
I'm hanging out on Monday |
|
My Sunday dreams to dry |
|
Now a man is born to go a lovin' |
|
A woman's born to weep and fret |
|
To stay at home and tend her oven |
|
And drown her past regrets |
|
In coffee and cigarettes |
|
I'm moaning all the morning |
|
And mourning all the night |
|
And in between it's nicotine |
|
And not much heart to fight |
|
Black coffee |
|
Feelin' low as the ground |
|
It's driving me crazy just waiting for my baby |
|
To maybe come around... around |
|
I'm waiting for my baby |
|
To maybe come around |
|
My nerves have gone to pieces |
|
My hair is turning gray |
|
All I do is drink black coffee |
|
Since my man's gone away |
