Subject: ADD: A Cup of Coffee (McCutcheon) From: Joe Offer Date: 17 Sep 15 - 02:04 PM Hi, Glen - The first thing that came to mind was the What It's Like album. There's a song there called "Cup of Coffee" that may be the one you seek. CUP OF COFFEE (John McCutcheon) Standing barefoot in the darkness, one hand upon the door I turn to look just one last time, like a thousand times before To where you're sleeping there without me, your breasts rise and gently fall Then I turn and slip so silent to the hall CHORUS: It's a cup of coffee down the road A heavy heart and a heavy load The lines, the lights, the red-eyed nights The troubles I can't lose Just pulling loads and pulling time In younger days would suit me fine But now the aches, the age, the burning rage Lie smoldering like a fuse I remember at the union hall, back at Christmas '63 How I lied that I could waltz just to hold you close to me It was "Midnight on the Waters" and daylight in your arms Now, 25 years later, I'm still a prisoner of your charms CHORUS Voices on the radio, only help me pass the time They got foolish cares I pray I'll never know At some roadside phonebooth I fumble my last dime I got eighteen wheels and a thousand miles to go Now your hair is spun to silver and mine is nearly gone And the children that I hardly know are grown up and moved on Out here it's so damn lonesome that I don't know what to do My heart stretched like a highway home to you CHORUS ©1989 John McCutcheon/Appalsongs ASCAP. http://www.folkmusic.com/lyrics/cup-coffee |
Subject: ADD: Last First Kiss (McCutcheon) From: Joe Offer Date: 17 Sep 15 - 02:15 PM Another possibility: LAST FIRST KISS (John McCutcheon & Steve Seskin) Sunday morning, coffee's on The kids are gone I'm thinking of that moment when All you had to do was speak My knees went weak Yeah, I'm twenty-two years old again Chorus You were my last first kiss I never imagined love could be like this You are the woman I still can't resist You were my last first kiss That Friday night at your front gate It was getting late A long, slow walk home from the dance You said you had a real nice time Slipped your hand in mine I closed my eyes and took a chance Chorus Been to heaven Been through hell Since I gave you that ring Now heaven knows I wouldn't change a thing Chorus Sunday morning, coffee's on The kids are gone I'm thinking what a ride it's been Still all you have to do is speak My knees go weak I'm twenty-two years old again ©2001 John McCutcheon/Appalsongs (ASCAP) & Steve Seskin/ Larga Vista Music/ Scarlet Rain Music ( ASCAP) Swannanoa, NC July 2001 Words & music by John McCutcheon & Steve Seskin An anniversary gift for my wife, Parthy.

Subject: RE: Req: I only know the subject and author-McCutcheon From: Joe Offer Date: 17 Sep 15 - 02:31 PM I've had a good time looking through John's lyrics, but I don't know for sure if I found the one you seek. The one that keeps popping into my head is not by John McCutcheon. It's "Forty-Five Years" by Stan Rogers. Take a look through John's lyrics here: If you find your song, please post it here so we'll know, too. -Joe- |
Subject: A John McCutcheon Song From: GUEST,Glen pertz Date: 19 Sep 15 - 09:43 AM I do not remember the name of the song. John sings about a woman who could have had a life of ease and luxury but she chose him. Its one of my favorite love songs because it really relates to my engagement to Carol. |

Subject: ADD: This Time of Year (McCutcheon) From: Joe Offer Date: 20 Sep 15 - 02:09 AM I've gone through all of McCutcheon's songs twice, looking for love songs that might fit your specifications, Glen. I've found and posted some terrific songs, but I don't know if I've found what you're looking for. This is the last one, one that strikes me particularly. Even if I didn't find the right song, I've had a good time exploring. THIS TIME OF YEAR (John McCutcheon) And once again this time of year the willow's first to show And once again this time of year my plow will split the ground Out on the horizon there a thunderhead is blowing For there's a change comes in the weather And once again this time of year here at the workday's end ©1988 by John McCutcheon. Published by Appalsongs (ASCAP). For Paul Reisler & Julie Portman in celebration of their marriage: May 15, 1988 On What It's Like (McCutcheon) |
