Your breath is sweet
your eyes are
Like two jewels
in the sky
Your back is straight
your hair is smooth
On the pillow
where you lie
But I don't sense
affection
No gratitude
or love
Your loyalty
is not to me
But to the stars
above
One more cup of coffee
for the road
One more cup of coffee
for I go
To the valley
below~
Your daddy
he's an outlaw
And a wanderer
by trade
He'll teach you
how to pick and choose
And how to throw
the blade
And he oversees
his kingdom
So no stranger
does intrude
His voice it trembles
as he calls out
For another plate
of food
One more cup of coffee
for the road
One more cup of coffee
for I go
To the valley
below~
Your sister sees
the future
Like your mama
and yourself
You've never learned
to read or write
There's no books
upon your shelf
And your pleasure
knows no limits
Your voice is
like a meadow larks
But your heart is
like an ocean
Mysterious and
dark
One more cup of coffee
for the road
One more cup of coffee
for I go
To the valley
below~
