The Jayhawks - Five Cups of Coffee lyrics

rate me

When I left you this morning

It's just like before

You say nothing changes

Passing time around here

Stole a long string of pearls

And I'd pawned downtown

Gonna buy me some good fun

Back where no one can see

And the long black dream is over

As the snow falls on and on

And it takes five cups of coffee

To calm down before I sleep

Let the sky soak on my clothes

Way back in the alley

All of the red leaves

Mixed up in perfume

Take the chance that I left you

Knowing where you might need me

So easy to believe

In someone I never see

And the long black dream is over

As the snow falls on and on

And it takes five cups of coffee

To calm down before I sleep

And the long black dream is over

As the snow falls on and on

And it takes five cups of coffee

To calm down before I sleep

And the long black dream is over

As the snow falls on and on

And it takes five cups of coffee

To calm down before I sleep
