Tom's Diner (feat. Suzanne Vega)

[00:34.15] I am sitting in the morning at the diner on the corner
[00:39.15] I am waiting at the counter for the man to pour the coffee
[00:43.83] And he fills it only halfway
[00:46.28] And before I even argue
[00:48.84] He is looking out the window at somebody coming in
[00:54.62] 
[01:03.29] "It is always nice to see you," says the man behind the counter
[01:08.02] To the woman who has come in
[01:10.45] She is shaking her umbrella
[01:13.18] And I look the other way as they are kissing their hellos
[01:17.75] And I'm pretending not to see them
[01:20.33] And instead I pour the milk
[01:23.68] 
[01:32.63] I open up the paper
[01:34.78] There's a story of an actor who had died while he was drinking
[01:39.65] He was no one I had heard of
[01:42.25] And I'm turning to the horoscope
[01:44.67] And looking for the funnies
[01:47.02] When I'm feeling someone watching me
[01:49.61] And so I raise my head
[01:52.91] 
[02:13.51] There's a woman on the outside looking inside
[02:17.04] Does she see me?
[02:18.36] No, she does not really see me
[02:20.62] 'Cause she sees her own reflection
[02:23.22] And I'm trying not to notice
[02:25.44] That she's hitching up her skirt
[02:27.91] And while she's straightening her stockings
[02:30.87] Her hair is getting wet
[02:34.68] 
[02:46.82] Oh, this rain, it will continue through the morning
[02:50.93] As I'm listening to the bells of the cathedral
[02:55.99] 
[02:58.33] I am thinking of your voice
[03:01.04]
