Its a Quiet Dawn on the Coast

TerriEllen

Part of the FAWM 2026 challenge; came from a random title Quiet Dawn. Tried for a Jimmy buffet style song, kinda maybe. Still need some tweaking.

Its so quiet when I awake
Trying to crawl ouf of a dream
Thinking of the things I need to do
First thing is to grind some beans

LIstneing to the water percolate
Waiting for my cup of caffeine
Its the grease for my old bones
Just green energy, nice and clean

Chorus
Its a quiet dawn on the coast
Waiting for my bread to be toast
Don’t want news to spoil my day
Its a quiet dawn I must say
I could throw a net off the pier
Catch something to have with a beer
Maybe blackened with taters to toast
Its a quiet dawn on the coast

Feeling the warmth of my brew
Sreading out along my limbs
Sitting in the sun makes me happy
LIke singing an old Sunday hymn

Finishing my first cup, I’ll have two
I miss having a paper to read
Not to mention having someone near
WIth a honey Do list that I need

Chorus

Repeat 1st verse quietly
