Dark Tide

Dark Tide

Water crashes into clay
Rinsing the mud and specks away
A gurgling, one-half serving poured
Darkness, this is my reward
My reward

Slowly creeping to the brim
To break the stream, a mortal sin
Nothing like my Kona blend
When will the dripping finally end
When will it end

When will the darkness finally spill over the side
A torrent crashing over, a great dark tide
Just grains of sugar left to mask the bitter taste
How much more is there to waste

Just an addict's little fix
A drop of cream to stir in the mix
Do you prefer a lighter hue
Do you take one lump or two
One or two

Water crashes into clay
Rinsing the mud and specks away
There was a time like this before
There was a time I needed more
Needed more

When will the darkness finally spill over the side
A torrent crashing over, a great dark tide
Just grains of sugar left to mask the bitter taste
How much more is there to waste

When will the darkness finally spill over the side
A torrent crashing over, a great dark tide
Just grains of sugar left to mask the bitter taste
How much more is there to waste
