Café in the Dark 2 (versie 2)

Intro

Two o'clock, neon hum

Verse

Café door swings open by itself

Sitting here in the quiet breath

Shadows bend on the walls so fine

One cup left, and you're not mine

Your jacket still slung over the stool

Pre-Chorus

Tell me if this is all there's to it

Or if we move past the dark light

Can I stay right here with you

Or does this place just let us go too

Chorus

Café in the dark, we sat here for so long

Every cup left empty before the dawn

I keep you warm till someone comes along

But the coffee stays out here while we're gone

Verse

Your eyes catch mine across the table

For a minute neither one of us said nothing

Ice is floating in my empty glass

And I watch your chest rise up and fall

The neon sign outside has flickered off

Left with just this small pale light

Barely audible hum from the machine

But it keeps us here in this same scene

Pre-Chorus

Tell me if this is all there's to it

Or if we move past the dark light

Can I stay right here with you

Or does this place just let us go too

Chorus

Café in the dark, we sat here for so long

Every cup left empty before the dawn

I keep you warm till someone comes along

But the coffee stays out here while we're gone

Bridge

Maybe it's the way you look at me

Not with need but just some kind of light

Letting go is not letting go

It's holding on inside the dark

No more steam, no more sound

Just your breath and my own around

Chorus

Café in the dark, we sat here for so long

Every cup left empty before the dawn

I keep you warm till someone comes along

But the coffee stays out here while we're gone

Outro

Last sip left of yesterday's night

You turn and walk out into sunlight
