Cold black coffee

Incessant stream of cars

Cigarette ash lies sprinkled like a fistful of grey stars

Yesterday it rained silver rainbows on the ground

Today the rain's just water

It won't stop from falling down



I grow weary waiting for my muse

But in between the times she comes

I still have to tie my shoes

And get on with my day

There are mornings when i'm more vigorous

And there are days i have to take the bus



Life's so rich

Life's so empty



Secret rendezvous

Long distance from a phone booth

Like two players in a mystery straight out of our youth

Well i'm finding that dramatics have lost their old appeal

I play the part of stoic lover but i'm not sure how i feel

I get discouraged waiting for the world

To understand this love affair

To understand the girl

There are moments when amelia's right beside me

The next thing i know

I taste the salt of the sea



Life's so rich

Life's so empty



Cold black coffee

Incessant stream of cars

Cigarette ash lies sprinkled like a fistful of grey stars

Yesterday it rained silver rainbows on the ground

Today the rain's just water

It won't stop from falling down



I grow weary i'm waiting for the world

To understand this love affair

To understand the girl

There are moments when amelia's right beside me

The next thing i know, i taste the salt of the sea



Life's so rich

Life's so empty

Life's so strange

Oh
