Above the Fray
Watching the coffee
Shop fill-up
Laptops and tablets
Books and conversation
Flip-flops and pumps
Short skirts and jeans
Smiles and lipstick
From every generation
One cup of coffee
At my favorite café
Counting my blessings
And staying above the fray
Espresso steam
And e-cigarettes
Ray-Bans and readers
And John Lennon specs
Ceiling fans above me
Cutting through the air
A young girl in the corner
With a baby at her breast
One cup of coffee
At my favorite café
Counting my blessings
And staying above the fray
I see the world clearer
Through the shop window
It's the only place I have
I know I'll see tomorrow
One cup of coffee
At my favorite café
Counting my blessings
And staying above the fray
