Black Coffee

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

One o'clock til 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 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 moonin all 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 driving me crazy

This waiting for my baby to maybe come around
