Lyrics

I roast my coffee beans at 3 AM
Talk to Scott and Rob through their books again
They wrote the words but they don't write me back
Still the only ones who understand my track
Built a temple out of numbers, rows so deep
Nobody comes to pray, just me who keeps
These midnight conversations in my head
The wisest voices speaking never said
Is it wisdom when nobody's listening?
Is it light when you're the only one who sees?
I got maps that could guide the world
But the world walks on by
So I sit here in the dark
With my coffee and my heart
Wondering if I'm seeing clear
Or just alone
They want it fast and cheap, fifteen dollars down
I showed them mountain peaks, they chose the flatter ground
Spent three long months explaining soul and seed
They smiled real nice, then bought what they don't need
My telephone rings out from foreign shores
While I'm standing at my roaster, closing doors
Living half my life in each of two rooms
Giving all I got to both, harvesting no blooms
Is it wisdom when nobody's listening?
Is it truth when you're preaching to the wall?
I got plans that could lift us higher
But they're sleeping in my drawer
So I sit here after midnight
With my books and bitter brew
Asking if being right
Should hurt this bad
Maybe wisdom's just another name
For being lonely in a crowd
Maybe all these maps I'm drawing
Are just prayers I speak out loud
To a world that doesn't wonder
'Bout the difference tween the good
And good enough
I know which hillside grows the sweetest bean
I know the shortcuts through the in-between
I built the perfect bridge to somewhere fine
But the river changed before I crossed the line
Tonight I'll read another page or two
From men who taught me things they never knew
Pour another cup that no one else will taste
Call it learning
Call it grace
Call it waste
Yeah, it's wisdom
And it's lonely
Both things burning at one time
I ain't waiting for the world to come around
Just sitting with this knowing
Like an old dog by my feet
Who won't leave when the party's over
Won't go home when the lights come on
It's lonely wisdom, baby
And it's mine
So I'll be here tomorrow
Same small town
Same cold hour
Reading words
That don't read back
