Another Cup Of Coffee lyrics by Mike And The Mechanics

Another cup of coffee

Mike & The Mechanics

Intro ||||||||

1. Strophe
And she pours herself another cup of coffee
as she contemplates the stain across the wall.
And it's in between the cleaning and the washing
that's when looking back's the hardest part of all.
And she always did her best to try and please him
while he always did his best to make her cry.
And she got down on her knees to stop him leaving,
but he always knew one day he'd say goodbye.

1. Refrain
Where are your friends, where are your children?
Is this your house, is this your home?
Does nothing ever last forever?
Does everybody sleep alone? Alone?

Instrumental

2. Strophe
And he tears the business tags from his old suitcase,
as he packs away the pieces of his life.
They all love him but they always try to change him.
That's what happens when a girl becomes a wife.
And she pours herself another cup of coffee
as the pictures leave a clean space on the wall.
And it's in between the leaving and the loving
That's when looking back's the hardest part of all.

2. Refrain
Where are your friends, where are your children?
Is this your house, is this your home?
Does nothing ever last forever?
Does everybody sleep alone? Alone?

Instrumental
Alone, oh yeah

Coda
Don't look back and don't give up, pour yourself another cup.
Don't look back and don't give up, pour yourself another cup.
And she pours herself another cup of coffee.
And she pours herself another cup of coffee.
