Cold Coffee from Beautiful Distractions by Brian Koenigsknecht

On a dark night
Making for your harbor in the storm
In in a turnabout
With bitter winds that bide
Our motions come and go
Meaninglessly drifting into rocks on the shore
Where we come to
On our separate sides

Cold coffee
The sugar's in the bottom of our cup
We're not empty
Maybe we just need to stir it up
While these spells run dry
Let's savor every drop of sun & rain
Cold coffee
Is better than no coffee any day

In the wee hours
Of a morning in our corner of the woods
We're going round for round
Throwing wrongs and rights
We're not out until
We're coming out together as a new day breaks
But we're still out cold
And yet to see the light

Through a silent night
I cross a broken dessert for your shore
I miss you more
Than words or pride it seems
Oh my lips are dry
I'm just about to speak, then I feel your breath
We are wide awake
Now from the same sweet dream

I would take you over anything and anyway
Cold coffee is better than no coffee any day
