《Instant Coffee Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Instant Coffee Blues - Guy Clark

[00:00:14] He washed all the road dirt from his face and from his neck

[00:00:21] And sat down at her table and she picked up his check

[00:00:27] And she took him home for reasons that she did not understand

[00:00:34] And him he had the answers but did not play his hand

[00:00:40] For him he knew the taste of this wine very well

[00:00:47] It all goes down so easily but the next day is hell

[00:01:05] Morning - "Man was I drunk " she wispered in the shower

[00:01:12] While he lay there and smoked his way there through the final hour

[00:01:20] And she felt wholly empty like she'd felt it every time

[00:01:26] And he was feelin' just the same 'cept he was tryin' to make it rhyme

[00:01:33] Time was of the essence so they both did their best

[00:01:40] To meet up in the kitchen feelin fully dressed

[00:01:47] She just had to go to work and he just had to go

[00:01:53] And she knew where and he knew how to blow it off and so

[00:02:00] They shot the breeze quite cavalier to the boilin' of the pot

[00:02:07] And sang the Instant Coffee Blues and never fired a shot

[00:02:14] And him he hit the driveway with his feelin's in a case

[00:02:20] And her she hit the stoplight and touched up her face

[00:02:27] So you tell them the difference between caring and not

[00:02:34] And that it's all done with mirrors lest they forgot

[00:02:41] I said it's all done with mirrors of which they have none

[00:02:48] To blend the instant coffee blues into the morning sun
