Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Gravel crunching under the tire Engine humming like a choir Chrome is rusted on the door Dust is dancing on the floor Sunset bleeding through the glass Watching all the shadows pass [Pre-Chorus] The bell rang soft and low Nowhere left for me to go I saw you standing by the pot The only thing this town has got [Chorus] Black coffee in a ceramic cup I couldn't bring myself to look up Twenty years in a cloud of steam Waking from a teenage dream The road stays long and wide With nowhere left for us to hide [Verse] Your name tag's pinned on tight Reflecting back the neon light You poured the liquid dark and hot I realized what we both forgot A look that said a thousand things Without the weight of wedding rings [Chorus] Black coffee in a ceramic cup I couldn't bring myself to look up Twenty years in a cloud of steam Waking from a teenage dream The road stays long and wide With nowhere left for us to hide [Bridge] The lap steel whines a lonely tune Underneath a paper moon We took the turns we had to take For every heart we had to break The hand-claps keep the steady beat Of tired boots on gravel street [Verse] I left a tip upon the tray And turned to face the coming day You wiped the counter with a rag Watching as my spirit lagged No goodbye and no hello Just the way the stories go [Chorus] Black coffee in a ceramic cup I couldn't bring myself to look up Twenty years in a cloud of steam Waking from a teenage dream The road stays long and wide With nowhere left for us to hide [Post-Chorus] Just a cup of coffee Just a ghost of you and me Moving on, moving fast Leaving beauty in the past [Outro]
