Coffee Cups and Storm Eyes

Verse 1

Late evening shadow creeps over the floor

Counter is shining, bell rings at the door

She hums to the radio, lost in her chores

And I sit by the window, wishing for more

Pre-Chorus

Coffee cools slowly, names etched in the wood

I’d ask for a smile if I thought that I could

Chorus

She's pouring out coffee in cracked porcelain cups

Her eyes are the color of storms coming up

A slow-lonesome smile, with a dream she tucks

In the pocket of her apron, beneath all her luck

Verse 2

She walks like the clock when it's quarter to two

Her laugh rolls like thunder, cutting quiet in two

I watch from the corner, heart tangled and blue

Praying for courage to stumble straight through

Pre-Chorus

Silver moon through a dusty old glass

Every word I could say seems too heavy to pass

Chorus

She's pouring out coffee in cracked porcelain cups

Her eyes are the color of storms coming up

A slow-lonesome smile, with a dream she tucks

In the pocket of her apron, beneath all her luck

Post-Chorus

Oh, darling, what would you do

If these worn boots carried me closer to you

Post-Chorus

Oh, darling, what would you do

If these worn boots carried me closer to you
