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
