Song | Instant Coffee Blues |
Artist | Guy Clark |
Album | Old No. 1 |
作词 : Clark | |
He washed all the road dirt from his face and from his neck | |
And sat down at her table and she picked up his check. | |
And she took him home for reasons that she did not understand. | |
And him, he had the answers but did not play his hand. | |
For him he knew the taste of this wine very well. | |
It all goes down so easily but the next day is hell. | |
Morning - "Man was I drunk," she wispered in the shower. | |
While he lay there and smoked his way there through the final hour. | |
And she felt wholly empty like she'd felt it every time. | |
And he was feelin' just the same, 'cept he was tryin' to make it rhyme. | |
Time was of the essence so they both did their best, to meet up in the kitchen feelin fully dressed. | |
She just had to go to work, and he just had to go. | |
And she knew where and he knew how to blow it off and so. | |
They shot the breeze quite cavalier to the boilin' of the pot. | |
And sang the | |
Instant Coffee | |
Blues and never fired a shot. | |
And him he hit the driveway with his feelin's in a case. | |
And her she hit the stoplight and touched up her face. | |
So you tell them the difference between caring and not. | |
And that it's all done with mirrors, lest they forgot. | |
I said it's all done with mirrors, of which they have none. | |
To blend the instant coffee blues into the morning sun |
