From the recording 40 Years In
Lyrics
Cup of Tea
Lunarity
Wake up in morning, smelling the coffee,
stir out of bed and start my day.
I think of you, and then try not to,
I'm having coffee, not a cup of tea.
Turn on the TV, try and clear my head,
tell myself I really ought not crawl back in bed.
Can’t help thinking ‘bout what you said to me,
said I just wasn’t your cup of tea.
I’m always up and down, lost somewhere between,
like the moon, half the time I can’t be seen.
Always sailing out to sea, it’s what I do,
though how I ‘d love to sit and sip some tea with you.
So one lump or two, I know you don’t like it plain,
you want tea made in the sun, I‘m tea made with rain.
I'll just smile, dream what could be,
if I was your cup of tea.
