TIME FOR COFFEE


Time for coffee, she takes her glasses off
Let me tell you what I've been through
Since you've been gone, baby sister
She stares at me
I've moved from place to place
Since he left me
With my baby I walked
Mile after mile
I pawned and sold all I had
Always kept your picture in my hand
Baby sister

From far away you gave me
Strength I didn't have
My own brother closed his hand
When I needed one
But you always find an angel
Even in dark places

You know that in this land
Jobs are rare plants
When you find one you pay too much
And it doesn't grow at all
Hope all that money and time on education
Will someday pay off and I will
Continue knocking 'cause I know
That someday someone will hear
Baby sister

From far away you gave me
Strength I didn't have
My own brother closed his hand
When I needed one
But you always find an angel
Even in dark places

Time for coffee, she puts her glasses on
Now you tell me what you've been through
Since you've been gone, baby sister
I brush a tear off her eye
