Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega

I am sitting in the morning
At the (1)__________ on the corner
I am waiting at the counter
For the man to (2)________ 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 (3)________ to see you"
Says the man (4)____________ the counter
To the woman who has (5)________ in
She is shaking her umbrella

And I look the other way
As they are kissing (6)__________ hellos
I'm (7)____________________ not to see them
And (8)______________ I (9)________ the milk

I (10)________ 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 (11)______________ to the horoscope
And (12)______________ for the funnies
When I'm (13)______________ (14)______________ watching me
And so I (15)__________ my head

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

And I'm trying not to notice
That she's hitching up her skirt
And while she's (16)__________________________ her stockings
Her hair is getting wet

Oh, (17)________ (18)________ it will continue
Through the (19)______________ as I'm listening
To the bells of the cathedral
I am thinking of your voice...

And of the midnight picnic
Once (20)________ a time
Before the (21)________ began...

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