Black Coffee Lyrics by Mary Stallings

Spectrum

1996

[Verse 1]
I'm feeling mighty lonesome
Haven't slept a wink
I walk the floor and watch the door
And in between I drink
[Chorus]
Black coffee
Love's a hand me down brew
I'll never know a Sunday
In this weekday room
[Verse 2]
I'm talking to the shadows
1 o'clock to 4
And Lord, how slow the moments go
When all I do is pour
[Chorus]
Black coffee
Since the blues caught my eye
I'm hanging out on Monday
My Sunday dreams to dry
[Verse 3]
Now a man is born to go a lovin'
A woman's born to weep and fret
To stay at home and mind her oven
And drown her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes
[Bridge]
I'm mourning all the morning
Mourning all the night
And in between it's nicotine
And not much hard to find
[Chorus]
Coffee
Feelin' low as the ground
It's driving me crazy just waiting for my baby
Waiting for my man to come around (Yea)
[Sweet's Trumpet Solo]
[Verse 3]
Now a man is born to go a lovin'
A woman's born to weep and fret
To stay at home and mind her ovеn
And drown her past regrets
In coffee and cigarеttes
[Bridge]
I'm mourning all the morning
Mourning all the night
And in between it's nicotine
And not much hard to find
[Chorus]
Coffee
Feelin' low as the ground
It's driving me crazy just waiting for my baby
Oh waiting for my man to come around (Yea)
[Outro]
I'm feeling mighty lonesome yea yea
Mhmm haven't slept a wink
Mhmm
I'm feeling low down
