coffee and lace
she sits at the round table
all alone
her steaming cup half full
coffee and lace
at the corner cafe
waiting for many days
coffee and lace
the bittersweet soul,
awaiting the arrival of fate
coffee and lace
against the washed out world
the face of a stranger
the eyes of a beggar
coffee and lace
the bearer of patience
the mistress of love
sweet coffee
bitter lace
