lyrics

BLACK COFFEE AND CIGARETTES

The cold wind's creeping underneath the door
Filling the space she was before

Tell me how I’m gonna make it one more day
I been hungry as fire and shaking like a live wire since she’s been away

The bitter taste of loneliness won’t leave me alone
I’m living on black coffee and cigarettes
Until my sweetness comes home

They tell me Tuesday happened, Wednesday's come and gone
I’m burning down Thursday, still trying to finish this song

The colors have been drained from everything in this place
It’s like my whole world is waiting for her to show her face

The bitter taste of loneliness won’t leave me alone
I’m living on black coffee and cigarettes
Until my sweetness comes home

I’ve given up whiskey
I’ve sworn off wine
And I’ve been good about it
Most of the time

But if she’s not home soon
To make it all right
I might have to get high
Just to get to sleep tonight

The bitter taste of loneliness won’t leave me alone
I’m living on black coffee and cigarettes
Until my sweetness comes home
