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 broom
I'll never know a Sunday
In this weekday room
I'm talkin' to the shadows
One o'clock till four
And Lord, how slow the moments go
When 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 go a lovin'
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'
Mornin' all the night
And in between it's nicotine
And not much heart to fight
Black coffee
Feelin' low as the ground
It's drivin' me crazy
This waiting for my baby
To maybe come around.
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 broom I'll never know a Sunday In this weekday room I'm talkin' to the shadows One o'clock till four And Lord, how slow the moments go When 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 go a lovin' 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' Mornin' all the night And in between it's nicotine And not much heart to fight Black coffee Feelin' low as the ground It's drivin' me crazy This waiting for my baby To maybe come around.
