[Verse 1]
The city sleeps, a velvet cloak
Another lonely night
My troubles brew, a bitter joke
Beneath the pale moonlight
[Chorus]
Oh, coffee's my counselor, dark and deep
A warm, understanding friend
Secrets I spill, while the world's asleep
Hoping my worries will mend
[Verse 2]
Heard a whisper, on the breeze
Of a love that couldn't last
Now my heart's a restless unease
Living life too fast
[Chorus]
Oh, coffee's my counselor, dark and deep
A warm, understanding friend
Secrets I spill, while the world's asleep
Hoping my worries will mend
[Bridge]
Some folks find solace in a glass of gin
Or a dance with a stranger's smile
But me, I prefer where the comfort begins
In a porcelain cup, for a while
[Chorus]
Oh, coffee's my counselor, dark and deep
A warm, understanding friend
Secrets I spill, while the world's asleep
Hoping my worries will mend
