Black Coffee

Feeling mighty lonesome

I 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

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 hanging out on Monday

My Sunday dreams to dry

Now a man is born to go a loving

A woman's born to weep and to fret

To stay at home and tend to her oven

Drown her past regrets

In coffee and cigarettes

I'm moody all the morning

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 man

To come around

Now a man is born to go a loving

A woman's born to weep and to fret

To stay at home and tend to her oven

Just drown her past regrets

In coffee and cigarettes

And I'm moody all the morning

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

Maybe come around

Driving me crazy and waiting for my man

To come around
