Second Cup Of Coffee

Gordon Lightfoot

Transposer:

Capo 4 With the exception of the instrumental intro and break most of the song can be played by Travis picking using the root and top (e) string. [Intro] [Verse 1] I’m on my second cup of coffee and I still can’t face the day I’m thinking of the lady who got lost along the way And if I don’t stop this trembling hand from reaching for the phone I’ll be reachin’ for the bottle Lord before this day is done [Verse 2] I’m on my second cup of coffee and I still can’t face the day The room was filled with laughs as we danced the night away But my sleep was filled with dreaming of the wrongs that I had done And the gentle sweet reminder of a daughter and a son [Chorus] Sitting alone my friends have all gone home You never know when they’ll come droppin’ in Thinking of girls with their fingers in my curls / / G N.C. Too young to understand how love begins [Verse 3] I’m on my second cup of coffee and I still can’t face the dawn The radio is playin’ a soft country song And if I don’t stop this trembling hand from reaching for the phone I’ll be reachin’ for the bottle Lord before this day is done [Instrumental] [Chorus] Sitting alone my friends have all gone home They never were around when I needed them Thinking of girls with their fingers in my curls / / G N.C. Too young to understand how love begins [Verse] I’m on my second cup of coffee and I still can’t face the day I’m thinking of the lady who got lost along the way And if I don’t stop this trembling hand from reaching for the phone I’ll be reachin’ for the bottle Lord before this day is done

La chanson évoque le combat intérieur d'une personne qui peine à affronter une nouvelle journée. Assis avec sa deuxième tasse de café, il se remémore une femme qui s'est perdue, ainsi que les souvenirs d'une nuit joyeuse entourée d'amis, contrastés par les regrets qui hantent ses nuits. Il lutte contre l'envie de se réconforter dans l'alcool plutôt que de faire face à ses émotions. Le texte soulève la solitude et la nostalgie d'une vie compliquée par des décisions passées, tandis que l'ombre d’un futur incertain plane toujours. C'est une réflexion sur les relations perdues et les conséquences de la jeunesse, des erreurs et de la quête de rédemption.
