Black Coffee

i'm feeling mighty lonesome

haven't slept a winki

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 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 eye

I'm hanging out on Monday My Sunday dream's too dry
