Black Coffee Lyrics

[00:07.42] I'm feelin' mighty lonesome
[00:12.18] Haven't slept a wink
[00:15.03] I walk the floor and watch the door
[00:19.28] And in between I drink
[00:22.95] Black coffee
[00:27.83] Love's a hand me down brew
[00:32.98]
[00:38.47] I'll never know a Sunday
[00:42.97] In this weekday room
[00:47.88]
[00:52.55] I'm talking to the shadows
[00:56.96] One o'clock til four
[01:00.16] And Lord, how slow the moments go
[01:04.45] When all I do is pour
[01:07.46] Black coffee
[01:12.62] Since the blues caught my eye
[01:23.19] I'm hanging out on Monday
[01:27.53] My Sunday dreams, to dry
[01:37.45] Now man is born to go a'lovin
[01:46.54] A woman's born to weep and fret
[01:53.28] To stay at home and tend her oven
[02:00.63] And drown her past regrets in coffee and cigarettes
[02:09.12] I'm moonin all the mornin'
[02:12.94] Mournin' all the night
[02:15.80] And in between it's nicotine
[02:19.78] And not much heart to fight
[02:23.27] Black coffee
[02:28.62] Feelin' low as the ground
[02:35.33] It's driving me crazy
[02:38.12] This waiting for my baby to maybe come around
[02:47.81]
