A song by Bob Dylan (or should I say Arthurex?)

Arthurex is a young Nipo-american guy who sings Bob Dylan. One More Cup of Coffee or Valley Below is a farewell song, after a night spent with a beautiful young gypsy. The Valley Below represents the coming back to real life, a life that must go on without the sweet attractions of the young gypsy lady. Nobody knows who Arthurex is, yet. However, he represents the promise of a youth who still care about their great poets of the past.

Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie
But I don’t sense affection
No gratitude or love
Your loyalty is not to me
But to the stars above

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee ’fore I go
To the valley below

Your daddy he’s an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade
He’ll teach you how to pick and choose
And how to throw the blade
He oversees his kingdom
So no stranger does intrude
His voice it trembles as he calls out
For another plate of food

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee ’fore I go
To the valley below

Your sister sees the future
Like your mama and yourself
You’ve never learned to read or write
There’s no books upon your shelf
And your pleasure knows no limits
Your voice is like a meadowlark
But your heart is like an ocean
Mysterious and dark

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee ’fore I go
To the valley below
