Black Coffee

Black Coffee - Jaimee Paul/Leif Shires/John Noubarian

I'm feelin' mighty lonesome haven't slept a wink

I walk the floor from nine to four in between I drink

Black coffee love's a hand-me-down brew

I'll never know a Sunday in this weekday room

Them talkin' to the shadow one o'clock till four

And Lord how slow the moments go and 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 man is born to come a-lovin'

And a woman's born to weep and fret

To stay at home and tend her oven

And down her past regrets in coffee and cigarettes

I'm moonin' all the mornin' moanin' all the night

And in between it's nicotine and not much heart to fight

Black coffee feelin' low as the ground

I waitin' on my baby

'Til he come around

Now man is born to come a-lovin'

And a woman's born to weep and fret

To stay at home and tend her oven

And down her past regrets in coffee and cigarettes

I'm moonin' all the mornin' moanin' all the night

And in between it's nicotine and not much heart to fight

Black coffee feelin' low as the ground

'Cuz I waitin' on my baby

'Til maybe come around

Black Coffee

On feelin' low as the ground
