One More Cup of Coffee is a song by Bob Dylan that was later covered by Frazey Ford, a Canadian singer-songwriter. The song is about a relationship that has come to an end, and the two lovers are trying to come to terms with the separation.
Verse 1
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.
The lyrics of the song are poetic and describe the woman's physical attributes, but the narrator does not feel any emotional connection from her. The woman's loyalty is not to the narrator, but to something else, perhaps the universe.
Chorus
One more cup of coffee for the road, one more cup of coffee 'fore I go. To the valley below.
The chorus of the song is simple and catchy. It talks about having one more cup of coffee before leaving, perhaps as a way to prolong the inevitable goodbye.
Verse 2
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.
This verse talks about the woman's father, who is an outlaw and a wanderer. He teaches her how to defend herself and survive in the world. However, he is also a lonely figure, calling out for another plate of food.
Chorus
One more cup of coffee for the road, one more cup of coffee 'fore I go. To the valley below.
The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the idea of having one more cup of coffee before leaving.
Verse 3
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.
This verse talks about the woman's family and her lack of education. Despite this, she has a beautiful voice and finds pleasure in life. However, the narrator still feels that her heart is mysterious and dark, suggesting that he doesn't fully understand her.
Chorus
One more cup of coffee for the road, one more cup of coffee 'fore I go. To the valley below.
The chorus is repeated once again, emphasizing the idea of having one more cup of coffee before leaving.
