Black Coffee Lyrics - Easy Come Easy Go - Marianne Faithfull

I'm feeling mighty lonesome 

Haven't slept a wink 

I walk the floor and watch the door 

And in between I drink 

Black coffee 

Love's a hand me down brew 

I'll never know a Sunday 

In this weekday room 

I'm talking to the shadows 

From 1 o'clock til 4 

And lord, how slow the moments go 

When all I do is pour 

Black coffee 

Since the blues caught my eye 

I'm hanging out on Monday 

My Sunday dreams to dry

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

Now a man is born to go a lovin' 

A woman's born to weep and fret 

To stay at home and tend her oven 

And drown her past regrets 

In coffee and cigarettes 

I'm moaning all the morning 

And mourning all the night 

And in between it's nicotine 

And not much heart to fight 

Black coffee 

Feelin' low as the ground 

It's driving me crazy just waiting for my baby 

To maybe come around... around 

I'm waiting for my baby 

To maybe come around

My nerves have gone to pieces 

My hair is turning gray 

All I do is drink black coffee 

Since my man's gone away
