Midnight Coffee Verse 1 Midnight coffee, cooling slow On a table where the old lights glow Streetlight silver on the floor The door keeps opening, but you're not at the door The band is playing something low A song I think we used to know I trace your name across the steam Watch it disappear like a dream Pre-Chorus Time moves softly in this place Like a record turning out of pace Chorus I'm still drinking midnight coffee Still saving you a chair Still hearing your footsteps In the music and the air The city sleeps around me But my heart won't let it be So I sit with midnight coffee And the ghost of what could be Verse 2 The waiter wipes the empty bar The moon hangs crooked like a scar A passing train, a distant light Everything is leaving tonight The guitar cries a gentle tune The clock keeps arguing with the moon And every face that passes by Reminds me of another goodbye Pre-Chorus Some loves fade and drift away Some stay with you every day Chorus I'm still drinking midnight coffee Still saving you a chair Still hearing your footsteps In the music and the air The city sleeps around me But my heart won't let it be So I sit with midnight coffee And the ghost of what could be Bridge If tomorrow brings the morning And the morning brings the rain Maybe I'll stop waiting Maybe I'll forget your name But tonight the room is golden And the memories pour free Like the last warm drop of coffee At the bottom of the sea Final Chorus I'm still drinking midnight coffee The room is closing down The lights grow dim around me And shadows fill the town The band has packed their instruments But one song remains for me So I raise my cup to silence And the way things used to be Outro Midnight coffee... Growing cold beside the stairs... Still saving you a chair.
