There's no need for whiskey-

This don't call for a toast

I keep my spirits sober-

When I commune with ghosts



Take a mouthful and let it linger on

Cold coffee in my cup tonight



A winter storm west county-

They were closing down the road

I pulled into town-

Where I found you alone



In that restaurant, at that table we lingered on

Cold coffee in my cup tonight



A Rocky Mountain vista-

With its thirsty sky

We drank up those old foothills-

Then said goodbye



The sun's going down now, let it linger on

Cold coffee in my cup tonight
