Lyrics

Black Coffee

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Move over, move over

yeah you heard what I said, move over.

I feel so lonely, 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 never know why Sunday in this weekday brew?

I'm talking to the shadows, 1 o'clock till 4

And Lord how slow the moments go.

All I do is pour black coffee.

Since the blues caught my eye,

I'm hanging out on Monday,

But sunday dreams too dry

They say a man is born to go alone

And a woman is born to weep and fret

To stay at home and drown her past regrets

In coffee and cigarettes.

And moody all the morning, moody all night.

And in between I drink black coffee.

Black coffee.
