K.d. Lang: "Black Coffee" Lyrics

Im feelin mighty lonesome

Havent slept a wink

I walk the floor from nine to four

In between I drink

Black coffee

Loves a hand-me-down brew

Ill never know a sunday

In this weekday room



Im talkin to the shadow

One oclock till four

And lord, how slow the moments go

And all I do is pour

Black coffee

Since the blues caught my eye

Im hangin out on monday

My sunday dreams to dry



Now man was born to go a lovin

But was a woman born to weep and fret

And stay at home and tend her oven

And down her past regrets

In coffee and cigarettes



Im moonin all the mornin

Moanin all the night

And in between its nicotine

And not much heart to fight

Black coffee

Feelin low as the ground

Its drivin me crazy

This thinkin bout my baby

Might maybe come around

Come around
