Coffee's On

Six o' clock in the morning And I pray the rain is through There' s laughter in the kitchen The sheets still warm from you Coffee' s on But I lie here alone You put the coffee on Alarm is ringing Baby' s calling And I' m trying to get myself to you You are the morning You start each day a-new As if it were so simple I guess it is for you “Come on” You shout silently “Come on, come on” And I' m trying But this darkness Won' t let go of me Let go of me Baby in the photo Is off to school Woman in the mirror Age is cruel Who will I be from nine to three? My little girl All dressed in pink and blue I' ve got myself a good man There' s no one better than you How did I become so useless In this time and place? I would stay under these covers And not show my face Welcome to the morning Today' s a brand new day Time to stand up on my feet And push these thoughts away
