[Verse 1] Marble table, corner seat at five Same café, same low and golden light A notebook by my cup, and it's staying closed Some pages are mine and mine alone [Chorus] Six lines, that's my whole day in six lines Sun on the awning and the coffee was fine Nothing to fix and nothing to wash away Six lines — and I call it a day [Verse 2] The waiter brought the check and said, "You look well" Kind words, easy words — I could tell he meant well Someone at table nine — I laughed out loud I set my cup back down, didn't reach to wipe But the ring my cup left is still on the stone [Chorus] Six lines, that's my whole day in six lines Sun on the awning and the coffee was fine Nothing to fix and nothing to wash away Six lines — and I call it a day [Bridge] One — the light did its gold thing at six Two — nobody needed me fixed Three — the steam still rose from my cup Four — the bill was paid, the day was mine Five — a song came back I used to know Six — I'm in no hurry to go [Final Chorus] Six lines, that's my whole day in six lines Sun on the awning and the coffee was fine Nothing to fix and nothing to wash away Six lines — and the book stays closed, it's mine
