lyrics

Helen danced around the diner
Asked me if I'd like some cream
I said no, I'll take my coffee black this morning
Cause she was pretty, and I wanted to make an impression

Old men laughing across their decaf
Pouring ketchup on their eggs
Helen watching with her chin cupped in her hands
And she was smiling, 'cause she'd never seen that before

Then I wake up, walking down that lonely road again
At night I'm dreaming of Helen with her head in her hands

I hear the train call out in the distance
Smell the smoke coming through the kitchen
Flies are buzzing under yellow heat lamp light
Am crazy, for wishing I was free like that?

Then I wake up, walking down that lonely road again
At night I'm dreaming of Helen with her head in her hands

Tabasco lines the shelves like trinkets
Helen's humming to the radio
The sun drips in like marmalade and honey
Breathing in, I've never taken life so slow

Then I wake up, walking down that lonely road again
At night I'm dreaming of Helen with her head in her hands

One last glance across the galley
It's the little things I'll miss the most
I kiss the lipstick on my coffee cup farewell
I came for breakfast, I left with Helen's ghost
