[00:10.06]Ashes in my coffee cup - Soul Blues Icon
[00:22.50]Morning came with a bitter taste
[00:27.43]Coffee brewed but it felt like waste
[00:31.76]Stared at the steam, thought I saw her face
[00:36.74]Ashes in my cup from love's embrace
[00:42.01]She used to stir with a gentle hand
[00:46.77]Now all that's left is this empty stand
[00:51.69]I dropped a cigarette where her sugar lay
[00:56.15]Now ashes remind me she's gone away
[01:02.46]Ashes in my coffee cup
[01:06.78]Mixing sorrow every time I sup
[01:11.39]Sweetness lost, the flavor's rough
[01:17.25]Ashes in my coffee cup
[01:31.03]The morning sun don't warm my skin
[01:35.97]Kitchen's quiet where her laugh had been
[01:40.91]One small ember fell deep inside
[01:45.67]And burned the place where love once cried
[01:50.61]I don't need sugar, I don't need cream
[01:55.44]Just a taste of her in this waking dream
[02:00.28]But the cup don't lie, it holds the proof
[02:05.41]Ashes remain and so does truth
[02:11.15]Ashes in my coffee cup
[02:15.32]Stir them slow but they won't give up
[02:20.16]Every morning's a bitter sup
[02:25.61]With ashes in my coffee cup
[02:54.89]Ashes in my coffee cup
[02:58.92]Stir them slow but they won't give up
[03:03.78]Every morning's a bitter sup
[03:09.17]With ashes in my coffee cup
