Julie London - Black Coffee lyrics

[Julie London - Black Coffee lyrics]

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 brew
I'll never know a Sunday
In this weekday room

I'm talking to the shadows of
One o'clock or four
And Lord, how slow the moments ago
When all I do is pour black coffee
Since the blues caught my eye
I'm hanging out on the rope
My Sunday dreams to dry
Now a man is born to go a-lovin'
A woman's born to weep and fret
To stay home and tend her oven
And drown her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes

I'm mournin' on the mornin'
Mournin' 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 waitin' for my baby
To maybe come around to maybe come around
Pour me black coffee
