Black Coffee In Bed Lyrics by Squeeze

(difford/tilbrook)

Theres a stain on my notebook
Where your coffee cup was
And theres ash in the pages
Now Ive got myself lost
I was writing to tell you
That my feelings tonight
Are a stain on my notebook
That rings your goodbye
With the way that you left me
I can hardly contain
The hurt and the anger
And the joy of the pain
Now knowing I am single
Theyll be fire in my eyes
And a stain on my notebook
For a new love tonight

From the lips without passion
To the lips with a kiss
Theres nothing of your love
That Ill ever miss
The stain on my notebook
Remain all thats left
Of the memory of late nights
And coffee in bed

Now shes gone
And Im back on the beat
A stain on my notebook
Says nothing to me
Now shes gone
And Im out with a friend
With lips full of passion
And coffee in bed
