Coffee And Roses - Thea Gilmore

My baby loves coffee and roses

A rebel stand and a poet's heart

A guilty moon and suburb soldiers

Those boys can't erase the mark

My baby breaks the chain of reason

Calls the card and rolls the dice

For everything a time and season

Turning tides and breaking ice

And I will be your last call honey

Yeah I will be your downfall baby

It's strange the way the song goes honey

We're dancing in the wrong clothes darling

My baby sings of old tomorrows

Spider hands September eyes

And I'm the architect of sorrow

The girl in minor key disguise

My baby leads me to the water

Wraps the sun inside his coat

And while the days are getting shorter

My baby sets the light afloat

And I will be your shadow honey

The crooked way the wind blows baby

The singing of the steel honey

The looser in the deal darling

Yeah I will be your lover honey

Come break me under cover baby

The razor on the mirror honey

The way the smoke will clear darling

My baby loves coffee and roses

Hold the flower brown and red

The lost companion autumn shows us

My baby will not turn his head

My baby will not turn his head

My baby will not turn his head
