Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie
But I don’t sense affection at all
No gratitude or love
Your loyalty is not to me
But to the stars above
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below
Your daddy, he’s an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade
He’ll teach you how to pick and choose
And how to throw blade
He oversees his kingdom
So, no stranger does intrude
His voice, it trembles as he calls out
For another plate of food
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below
Your sister sees the future
Like your mama and yourself
You’ve never learned to read or write
There’s no books upon your shelf
And your pleasure knows no limits
Your voice is like a meadowlark
But your heart is like an ocean
Mysterious and dark
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below
To the valley below
To the valley below
To the valley below
To the valley below
To the valley below
To the valley below
Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie
But I don't sense affection
No gratitude or love
Your loyalty is not to me
But to the stars above
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below
Your daddy he's an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
And how to throw the blade
He oversees his kingdom
So no stranger does intrude
His voice it trembles as he calls out
For another plate of food
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below
Your sister sees the future
Like your mama and yourself
You've never learned to read or write
There's no books upon your shelf
And your pleasure knows no limits
Your voice is like a meadowlark
But your heart is like an ocean
Mysterious and dark
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below
The first time I listened to this song, I was going to my hometown Kastamonu from İzmir and I was in a bus. The bus climbed so many bends and reached a hill's top. I saw this song on the playlist of the company and I started to listen to it. The sun was about to rise and I didn't know how much road we took till that point. The bus took the last bend and at that moment, I saw huge, plain fields, a valley I couldn't see where it ends while the sun was rising and started to make warm all the land. I couldn't take myself out of the song. While we were going down from the hill, I was in another world, we were in the valley and there was one or two tears in my eyes maybe because of happiness or because of some reason I still don't know but I felt like I understood something and I felt I was belonged to it. To all the people who can feel these things with love...
