Lyrics
Coffee In Birmingham
When I opened my eyes
I was heading down that long roadway
Who'd realise just how far you can go
It's a lonely place
Where a heart can turn to stone
After love has left you
To wander this world alone
Hidden in the haze
Were thoughts of all my hard days
A sky so dark hung over a world I could not face
Amongst the pain
You showed me love again
Then you walked away and left me to wander this road again
CHORUS
I can't understand
Why you'd hurt a man
Hold him in your hand
Then throw him away
Coffee In Birmingham
Champagne in Amsterdam
Now I'm here with Uncle Sam
Wondering, why, you went away
I can't understand
Why you'd hurt a man
Hold him in your hand
Then throw him away
Coffee In Birmingham
Champagne in Amsterdam
Now I'm here with Uncle Sam
Wondering, why, you wouldn't stay
