Running Dry

Lyrics

[Verse]
Morning coffee's brewing, got that aroma strong,
Reached for the milk, but the carton’s gone,
Rain's a-tapping on the windowpane,
Guess I’ll have to drink it black again.

[Verse 2]
Soggy boots by the front door, they’re still wet from yesterday,
Dog’s curled up on the porch, he won’t move today,
Looking out at the gray skies, heavy with the rain,
I don't fancy a trip to the market lane.

[Chorus]
Running dry in this little old house,
Can't make tea, can’t feed the mouse,
Got a hankering for a hearty bowl of flakes,
But stepping out in this weather, I just can’t face.

[Verse 3]
Raindrops like drummers, creating a song,
Morning feels endless, oh so long,
Empty fridge echoes, calls me back inside,
Closed the door, looks like here I’ll bide.

[Bridge]
Pictures on the mantle of sunnier days,
When a little rain never fazed our ways,
But now it pours, and I feel so trapped,
Just a morning without milk and I’m already zapped.

[Verse 4]
Thought of braving the storm, but the pull ain’t strong,
Fireplace crackling, keeps me along,
Guess I'll wait, let the rain pour free,
Tomorrow’s another day for milk and me.
