Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega

I am sitting in the morning
At the diner on the corner
I am waiting at the counter
For the man to pour the coffee

And he fills it only halfway
And before I even argue
He is looking out the window
At somebody coming in

"It is always nice to see you"
Says the man behind the counter
To the (1)__________ who has come in
She is shaking her umbrella

And I (2)________ the other way
As they are kissing their hellos
I'm pretending not to see them
And (3)______________ I (4)________ the milk

I open up the paper
There's a story of an actor
Who had died while he was drinking
It was no one I had heard of

And I'm turning to the horoscope
And looking for the funnies
When I'm feeling someone watching me
And so I raise my head

There's a woman on the outside
Looking inside
Does she see me?
No she does not really see me
Cause she (5)________ her own reflection

And I'm trying not to notice
That she's (6)________________ up her skirt
And while she's straightening her stockings
Her hair is getting wet

Oh, this rain it will continue
Through the morning as I'm listening
To the (7)__________ of the cathedral
I am (8)________________ of your voice...

And of the (9)________________ picnic
Once upon a time
Before the (10)________ began...

I finish up my coffee
It's time to catch the train
