Desert Coffee Sunrise
Alex Wilson
Description
A melancholic country ballad about a solitary journey westward, fueled by coffee and fueled by the faint hope of a new beginning.
Lyrics
(Verse 1) Mile marker blur, just another ghost behind This old Ford groans, barely keepin' up with my mind Steam risin' off this chipped enamel cup Same way the memories swirl, never givin' up (Chorus) Desert coffee sunrise, bitter on my tongue Another daybreak breakin', where I don't belong Westward bound, chasin' a faded dream Hopin' for redemption, or so it would seem (Verse 2) Her face in the rearview, a silhouette in the past A promise broken, a love that couldn't last Like tumbleweeds rollin', my heart just drifts along To the lonely echo, of a forgotten song (Chorus) Desert coffee sunrise, bitter on my tongue Another daybreak breakin', where I don't belong Westward bound, chasin' a faded dream Hopin' for redemption, or so it would seem (Bridge) The semis rumble onward, a symphony of pain A harmonica's wail, echoes through the rain Or maybe it's just the wind, playin' tricks on my soul Searchin' for a haven, to make me whole (Chorus) Desert coffee sunrise, bitter on my tongue Another daybreak breakin', where I don't belong Westward bound, chasin' a faded dream Hopin' for redemption, or so it would seem (Outro) Beyond the painted horizon, a flicker of light Maybe a new dawn's waitin', to make everything right The desert holds secrets, whispered on the breeze Just gotta keep on movin', find some inner peace.
