Black coffee

I watch the busses crossing
damping streets
your body barely covered in the bed
the raining’s stopped,
the clouds still linger on
my coffee’s cold just like the loving that we’ve had

The tension in this city gets so strong
I’m giving everything to get me through
The tension in this city gets so strong
there’s just caffeine that I can hold on to
it’s gonna keep me holding on
to wait for you

The suits I’m passing by, they just don’t fit
these ties, they’re colored ropes on gallows pole
I know you won’t be there when I return
my bed feels like my coffee, black and cold
