Black Coffee
Soulful Reflections: Black Coffee's Bittersweet Symphony
Lyrics
I'm feelin' mighty lonesome
I am feeling extremely lonely
Haven't slept a wink
I haven't slept at all
I walk the floor and watch the door
I pace the floor and keep an eye on the door
In between I drink
In the meantime, I consume alcohol
Black coffee
I drink black coffee
Love's a hand-me-down brew
Love for me is a recycled, second-rate beverage
I'll never know a Sunday
I will never experience a joyful Sunday in this mundane room
In this weekday room
Contrastingly, it feels like a weekday every day
I'm talkin' to the shadow
I engage in conversation with my own shadow
One o'clock till four
From one in the morning until four
And Lord, how slow the moments go
The passing of time feels agonizingly slow
When all I do is pour
All I do during this time is pour drinks
Black coffee
I continue to consume black coffee
Since the blues caught my eye
Ever since I became melancholy
I'm hangin' out on Monday
I linger in sorrow on Mondays
My Sunday dreams to dry
My dreams of a pleasant Sunday have evaporated
Now man is born to go a lovin'
Humans are destined for love
A woman's born to weep and fret
Women are destined to experience sorrow and worry
To stay at home and tend her oven
They stay at home, managing household chores
And drown her past regrets
Attempting to forget their past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes
They find solace in coffee and cigarettes
I'm moonin' all the mornin'
I am lost in thought all morning
Moanin' all the night
I lament throughout the night
And in between it's nicotine
In between, I consume nicotine
And not much heart to fight
But there's not much enthusiasm or strength to fight
Black coffee
Again, I turn to black coffee
Feelin' low as the ground
I feel as low as the ground
It's drivin' me crazy
This situation is driving me insane
This waitin' for my baby
I am anxiously waiting for my baby
To maybe come around
Hoping that they will come around
To maybe come around
Repeating the anticipation of their arrival
Pour me black coffee
If you pour me black coffee
And I'll come around
I will come around
