Calexico & Roger McGuinn - One More Cup Of Coffee lyrics

rate me

Your breath is sweet<br />

Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky<br />

Your back is straight, your hair is smooth<br />

On the pillow where you lie<br />

<br />

But I don't sense affection at all<br />

No gratitude or love<br />

Your loyalty is not to me<br />

But to the stars above<br />

<br />

One more cup of coffee for the road<br />

One more cup of coffee 'fore I go<br />

To the valley below<br />

<br />

Your daddy, he's an outlaw<br />

And a wanderer by trade<br />

He'll teach you how to pick and choose<br />

And how to throw blade<br />

<br />

He oversees his kingdom<br />

So, no stranger does intrude<br />

His voice, it trembles as he calls out<br />

For another plate of food<br />

<br />

One more cup of coffee for the road<br />

One more cup of coffee 'fore I go<br />

To the valley below<br />

<br />

Your sister sees the future<br />

Like your mama and yourself<br />

You've never learned to read or write<br />

There's no books upon your shelf<br />

<br />

And your pleasure knows no limits<br />

Your voice is like a meadowlark<br />

But your heart is like an ocean<br />

Mysterious and dark<br />

<br />

One more cup of coffee for the road<br />

One more cup of coffee 'fore I go<br />

To the valley below<br />

<br />

To the valley below<br />

To the valley below<br />

To the valley below<br />

To the valley below<br />

To the valley below<br />

To the valley below
