Black Coffee In Bed

(Squeeze)

 

There's a stain on my notebook where your coffee cup was

And there's ash in the pages, now I've got my self lost

I was writing to tell you that my feelings tonight

Are a stain on my notebook that rings your goodbye

 

Oh, now she's gone

And I'm back on the beat

Stain on my notebook says nothing to me

Oh, now she's gone

And I'm out with a friend

With lips full of passion

And coffee in bed

 

With the way that you left me I can hardly contain

The hurt and the anger, the joy and the pain

Now knowing I am single, there'll be fire in my eyes

And a stain on my notebook for a new love tonight

 

Oh, now she's gone

And I'm out with a friend

With lips full of passion

And coffee in bed

 

From lips without passion, to lips with a kiss

There's nothing of your love that I'll ever miss

The stain on my notebook remains all that's left

Of a memory of late-night coffee in bed (x3)
