Break of Day Waitress

Intro

Low light flickers against the door

Raincoat hangs on the same old rack

Someone sweeps footprints off the floor

She hums softly then turns her back

Verse 0

First customer in from the chill

Boots muddy from walking alone

Sunrise waits at the windowsill

Her laughter makes this place a home

Verse 1

Rain taps soft on the window pane

Empty chairs and a lonesome booth

The scent of pie and old refrain

Waiting for her, searching for truth

Pre-Chorus

Faded receipts, old stories told

Another night, another bill to fold

Chorus

She moves quiet through the table's sway

Coffee in a porcelain hand

Her eyes belong to the break of day

Oh, I'm doing the best that I can

Verse 2

Midnight hangs in her tired smile

Order up, and dreams wear thin

I linger just a little while

Hoping she'll let me back in

Pre-Chorus

Sugar packets pile up slow

Old jukebox hums a tune I know

Chorus

She moves quiet through the table's sway

Coffee in a porcelain hand

Her eyes belong to the break of day

Oh, I'm doing the best that I can

Post-Chorus

Stay a little longer

Stay a little longer

Post-Chorus

Stay a little longer

Stay a little longer
