this coffee cup beside me


this coffee cup beside me
is my best friend
it began the morning after
and it starts my aching head
it provides me constant comfort
and the warmth that I desire
locked in an air-conditioned building
while the flames rise higher

          this coffee cup beside me
          will warm me up again
          that's why the coffee cup beside me 
          is my best friend

the coffee cup beside me
has seen the starts of many days
each one a new beginning
that somehow lost its way
it's seen me at my best
and it's been here for the worst
never knowing if this living
is a blessing or a curse

          this coffee cup beside me
          will warm me up again
          that's why the coffee cup beside me 
          is my best friend

the coffee cup beside me
does great at what it has to do
it has one job and does it well
and rests when day is through
I'll wash it and reuse it
every single waking day
the coffee cup beside me
made from a lump of clay

          this coffee cup beside me
          will warm me up again
          that's why the coffee cup beside me 
          is my best friend
