Black Coffee

Black Coffee - Rosemary Clooney (蘿絲瑪莉·克魯妮)

Written by：Sonny Burke/Paul Francis Webster

I'm feeln' 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 broom

I'll never know a Sunday in this weekday room

I'm talkin' to the shadows

One o'clock to four

And lord how slow the moments go when all I do is pour black coffee

Since the blues caught my eye

I'm hangin' 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 rend her oven

And drown her past regrets in coffee and cigarettes

I'm moonin' all the mornin' and 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 a round
