Lyrics

Coffee and cigarettes

Inside the fire’s burning low

No work and little rest

Counting stars through my window

You were a part of me

But I could never look me in the eye

I left you leaving me

But I could never stay with me at night

Your answers question me

But then I never had a clue

I’m still a mystery

And I am still inside where I lost you

Left here with me alone

The conversation is a bore

I pay for all my crimes

And then in seconds I commit more

Your eyes still follow me

But then I always ran to you

I’m still a mystery

And I am still inside where I lost you

Resolved are you and I

So say the books that I have read

I lost some faith somewhere

I can’t believe in every word it said

Someday I’ll write a song

And tell you how I feel for you

But the words come too slow

Counting stars through my window

Coffee and cigarettes

Inside the wind begins to blow

No work and little rest

Counting stars through my window
