Lyrics
Verse 1
Sitting at a table, morning softly ticks away
I fold my paper, such a lovely day
This place is nearly empty, a waitress sits and counts her tips
I look around, who else is in on this
Chorus
You sit drinking coffee by the window
Watching something in the street
Your eyes are smiling
Break it open, share it with me
Verse2
In the kitchen someone?s talking, muffled laughter, swinging doors
So much more than I came here for
Chorus
You sit drinking coffee by the window
Watching something in the street
If I was an artist I would draw you
Break it open, share it with me.
