|
I'm feelin' 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 |
|
Of one o'clock before |
|
And Lord how slow the months ago |
|
When all I do is pour |
|
Black coffee |
|
Since the blues caught my eye |
|
I'm hanging out on the move |
|
My Sunday dreams to dry |
|
Now a man is born to go lovin' |
|
A woman's born to weep and fret |
|
To stay home and tend her oven |
|
And drown her past regrets |
|
In coffee and cigarettes |
|
I'm leavin' on the mornin' |
|
Mournin' all the night |
|
And in between, it's nicotine |
|
And not much heart to fight |
|
Black coffee |
|
Feelin' low as the ground |
|
It's drivin' me crazy |
|
This waitin' for my baby |
|
To maybe come around |
|
To maybe come around |
|
Pour me black coffee |
|
And I'll come around |
