Black Coffee Songtext
von Helen Grayco

I′m feeling 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 blues

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 eyes


I′m hanging out on Monday
My Sunday dreams to dry
Now a man is born to go loving
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

Moaning all the morning
Moaning all the night
And in-between, it′s nicotine
And not much heart to fight, black coffee

Feeling low as the ground
It's driving me crazy, this waiting for my baby
To maybe come around
I′m crazy
So crazy
