Black Coffee

I'm feelin' mighty lonesome

Haven't slept a wink

I walk the floor an' watch the door

In between I drink

Black coffee

Love's a hand-me-down room

I'll never know a Sunday

In this weekday room

Been talkin' to the shadows

One o'clock ‘til four

An' Lord how slow the moments go

When all ya do is pour

Black coffee

Since the blues caught my eye

I'm hangin' out on Monday

My Sunday dreams to dry

You know a man is born to love a woman

To work and slave to pay her debts

Just because he's only human

To drown his past regrets

In coffee and cigarettes

I'm moonin' all the mornin'

Mournin' all the night

In between it's nicotine

Not much heart to fight

Black coffee

Feelin' low as the ground

I'm waitin' for my baby

To maybe come around

Gonna drown my past regrets

In some coffee and a few cigarettes

I'm moonin' all the mornin'

Mournin' all the night

In between it's nicotine

And not much heart to fight

Black coffee

Feeling low as the ground

It's driving me crazy!

Just waitin' for my baby

To maybe come around

Please come around

Please come
