FAWM 2018 #2: Before the Coffee Kicks In

UPDATE: Transposed to fit my still-limited range. I'm still not in my best voice.

Lyrics

Before the coffee kicks in, the fog clings to my eyes.
Before the coffee kicks in, the truth seems like lies.
Stranded in the primeval wood.
Huddled against the icy wind.
Can't do the things I know I should,
But then ... sunrise.

And when the coffee kicks in, the fog burns away.
And when the coffee kicks in, the truth can have its day.
Strolling through the park,
Coats and mufflers tossed away.
I'm warmed right through to my heart
Because ..... now the coffee's kicked in.
Now the coffee's kicked in.

Now the coffee's kicked in.
