Lyrics
Two tazzine on the zinc, one for me, one for the empty chair Steam goes thin The barista wipes the same wet circle twice Nine o'clock, then ten, the sugar packet still sealed beside the spoon Nobody comes Crema spirals down the surface dulls and I keep stirring, stirring, stirring for a voice that isn't coming back Cold espresso, cold espresso one small cup is all I know Cold espresso, cold espresso amore, amore, let it go The bell above the door rings for the wrong man Not you I fold the paper napkin into smaller squares, then smaller still The grinder clicks off, the clock above it bleeds another slow red minute Notte solo Crema spirals down the surface dulls and I stop stirring, stirring, stirring for a voice that isn't coming back Cold espresso, cold espresso the lights are turning down so low Cold espresso, cold espresso amore, amore, you won't come, no AAAAH THE CHAIR IS EMPTY the saucer rings, the bar goes dark RAAAAH NOBODY CAME notte, notte, notte (nobody came) Cold espresso, cold espresso I drink it black, I drink it solo Cold espresso, cold espresso (amore, amore) let it go Caffè caffè
