Tea for Coffee

He lived slowly, rode the trolley He never drew much attention She served coffee in her cafe And every Thursday he would long to join her She dressed sweetly But incompletely to hide the woman she had blossomed into Rain or blue sky still he'd drive by He swore 'someday' but each day would pass by He lived alone beside a TV And lately given up his Tea for coffee He never knew the aftertaste could be so sweet Then one May day, on his payday He bought the flowers he would offer to her But as he drew near he just steered clear He saw another man with arms around her He rents a flat now in the country And having given up his tea for coffee Believes he'll never know the sweet, dark taste of love He sets his easel by a park bench He knows the bitter sweet of tea for coffee Another day, another still life for his wall She was married and miscarried He turned to stone and for years they drifted Sold the cafe, went their own ways She lives alone now in a flat near Bury He sets his easel by a park bench He knows the bitter sweet of tea for coffee Another day, another still life for his wall He paints his still life watercolours And lately shares some of his tea for coffee She loves the flowers that he paints her most of all
