"Black Coffee" lyrics
"Black Coffee"
(originally by Sarah Vaughan)
I'm feelin' mighty lonesome
Haven't slept a wink
I walk the floor and watch the door
In between I drink
Black coffee
Love's a hand-me-down brew
I'll never know a Sunday
In this weekday room
Then talkin' to the shadows
One o'clock till four
And Lord, how slow the moments go
When all you do is pour
Black coffee
Since the blues caught my eye
I'm hangin' out on Monday
My Sunday dreams to dry
You know a man is born to love a woman
To work and slave to pay her debts
Just because he's only human
To drown his past regrets in coffee and cigarettes
I'm moonin' all the mornin'
Mournin' all the night
In between it's nicotine
Not much heart to fight
Black coffee
Feelin' low as the ground
And waitin' for my baby
To maybe come around
Gonna drown my past regrets
In some coffee and a few cigarettes
I'm moonin' all the mornin'
Mournin' all the night
In between it's nicotine
And not much heart to fight
Black coffee
Feelin' low as the ground
It's driving me crazy, this waitin' for my baby
To maybe come around
Please come around
Please come
