Black Coffee Songtext
von Ike Moriz

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

I'm talking to the shadows
From 1 o′clock till 4
And lord, how slow the moments go
When all I do is pour: Black coffee
Since the blues caught my eye
I′m hanging out on Monday
My Sunday dreams 2 dry

Now a man is born to go a lovin'
And 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


I'm moaning all the morning
And mourning all the night
And in between it′s nicotine
And not much heart to fight: Black coffee
Feelin' low as the ground
Oh, well, it′s driving me crazy
Just waiting for my baby to maybe come around

Now a man is born to go a lovin'
Oh, and a woman's born to weep and fret
To stay at home and tend her, her old oven
And then drown her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes

I′m moaning all the morning
And I′m mourning all the night
And in between it's nicotine
And not much heart to fight
Oh, black coffee
Feelin′ low as the ground
Oh, and it's driving me crazy
Just waiting for my baby to maybe come around
Maybe come around
