(Difford/Tilbrook)   

   

There's a stain on my notebook   

Where your coffee cup was   

And there's ash in the pages   

Now I've got myself lost   

I was writing to tell you   

That my feelings tonight   

Are a stain on my notebook   

That rings your goodbye   

With the way that you left me   

I can hardly contain   

The hurt and the anger   

And the joy of the pain   

Now knowing I am single   

They'll be fire in my eyes   

And a stain on my notebook   

For a new love tonight   



From the lips without passion   

To the lips with a kiss   

There's nothing of your love   

That I'll ever miss   

The stain on my notebook   

Remain all that's left   

Of the memory of late nights   

And coffee in bed   



Now she's gone   

And I'm back on the beat   

A stain on my notebook   

Says nothing to me   

Now she's gone   

And I'm out with a friend   

With lips full of passion   

And coffee in bed
