All the unsaid words that I might be thinking And all the little signs that I might give you They would not be enough No they would not be enough So we nod over coffee and say goodbye Smile over coffee and turn to go We know the drill and we do it well We love it, we hate it Ain't that life Ain't that the curse of the second hand Ain't that the way of the hour and the day If I weren't so alone and afraid They might pay me what I am worth But it would not be enough You deserve better So we nod over coffee and say goodbye Do whatever has to be done again today Get in the traffic and time will fly Look at the sun and pray for rain Ain't that the curse of the second hand Ain't that the way of the hour and the day The dam of time cannot hold back The dust that will surely come of these bones And I'm sure I will not have loved enough Will not have loved enough If we could see with wiser eyes What is good and what is sad and what is true Still it would not be enough Could never be enough So we nod over coffee and say goodbye Bolt the door it's time to go Into the car with the radio on Roll down the window and blow the horn Ain't that the curse of the second hand Ain't that the way of the hour and the day
