Coffee black night, half in a dream
Milky way is only a splashing of cream
I’m stirring awake, middle of night
Sugar crystal specks of light
Warmth of your shoulder, smell of your skin
Edge of time grows on your chin
Your whiskers tickle my backwoods dreams
Always and never what they seem
I’m stirring awake, middle of night
Everything already is alright
I’ve done everything that I need to do
Only thing on my list was loving on you
Same list for me, same list for you
Same when we’re old, same when we’re new
We’ll be then like we are tonight
Sugar crystal specks of light
Coffee black night, half in a dream
Milky Way is only a splashing of cream
I’m stirring awake, middle of night
Sugar crystal specks of light
Some big old mama gonna take a sip
Leave a trace there on her lip
Then these words like a song
Been hanging there all night long
She’ll wrap us in them, hair all wild
Say “I love the morning, don’t you child?”
