Lyrics
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
In the large glass, drops of iced coffee
Drip slowly, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
Time of life is passing by
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
Thick black coffee is forming
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
The bluesy music starts playing
The barista at the counter is busy
Busy brewing coffee and preparing meals
Busy toasting bread and microwaving snacks
Busy cleaning and clearing tables
Busy washing coffee cups, settling bills, and making deliveries
I don't want her to smile
Because she's tired
I don't want to see her
Because she's tired
My gaze
Is pressure upon her
I know she's tired!
I don't want to interrupt her busyness
Quietly, I close my eyes
Put on headphones
Listen to the music outside the cafe
I immerse myself in my own little world
No need to make eye contact with me
No need to meet my gaze
No need for small talk with me
I know you're already tired
Let's quietly attend to our own affairs
It's nine-thirty in the evening, closing time has arrived
I quietly pack up my computer and leave
You say to me, thank you!
I nod silently and leave
In my heart, I say to you, thank you, you've worked hard!
I know you're already tired
