about

Ellyn Woods continues to explore her roots as a songwriter with her most stripped back song to date: Morning Coffee. Melancholy guitar sets the tone as Ellyn expresses the isolation felt while on the road and away from those we love – surrounded by people, experiencing beauty, but ultimately feeling empty without someone to share it all with.

Concerns about an uncertain future, and more time spent on the road, threaten to clash with the peace of living quietly and peacefully at home in the comfort of a loving partner. As the song nears its end, Ellyn’s voice and guitar begin to give way to growing ambience and noise, overtaking the core elements of the song like intrusive thoughts, before retreating and leaving things as they began – Ellyn strumming her guitar.

"I initially wrote this song for my boyfriend while I was travelling. I thought it was cute but I never had any intention of releasing it. I started performing morning coffee at my acoustic shows & it was always a crowd pleaser. This little love song means something to us & I hope it reminds you of someone you love."

- Ellyn Woods

lyrics

well my coffee in the morning it don’t taste the same
without you - without you
well the view is pretty & the trees are so green
still I’m blue - still I’m blue

oh I want you to know
time on this side of the world moves so slow
life on the road has it’s ebbs & flows
& where it’s all going - we’ll never know
but I’ll be home soon

well I wander around this city
while all these people pass me by
still I’m true - still I’m true
& I don’t want you to think I’m unhappy
but it ain’t the same
without you babe - without you

oh I want you to know
time on this side of the world moves so slow
life on the road has it’s ebbs & flows
& where it’s all going - we’ll never know
but I’ll be home soon
