Coffee

                    ❖

There she sits all alone
In her own time,
Never knowing the truth
Always hoping her best.

All she wanted to be
Was wrapped up in his world,
So she plays with her watch
She is early, she knows.

One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go

As the story unfolds in my own mind
Is she happy or sad?
Did she love him too much?
Could it be she's been fooled - 
How would I know? 
Still she sips from the cup
Grown cold in her hand. 

One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go.

Then all at once 
She sees someone she knows,
And pulling a gun from the carrier bag
She explodes...
Ooo yeah



One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go.

In the papers next day is the story,
How she lived for his love,
And how she was taken for a fool 
And for a ride.
But love was mistaken,
She's burned up inside. 
 
And all she asked was
One more cup of coffee for the road...
