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 (1)________ the coffee

And he fills it (2)________ halfway
And (3)____________ I even argue
He is looking out the window
At (4)________________ coming in

"It is (5)____________ nice to see you"
Says the man (6)____________ the counter
To the woman who has (7)________ in
She is shaking her umbrella

And I (8)________ the (9)__________ way
As they are kissing (10)__________ hellos
I'm pretending not to see them
And instead I pour 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 (11)__________ of

And I'm (12)______________ to the horoscope
And (13)______________ for the funnies
When I'm feeling someone (14)________________ me
And so I raise my head

There's a (15)__________ on the outside
Looking inside
Does she see me?
No she (16)________ not (17)____________ see me
Cause she (18)________ her own reflection

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

Oh, this rain it (19)________ continue
Through the (20)______________ as I'm listening
To the bells of the cathedral
I am (21)________________ of your voice...

And of the (22)________________ picnic
Once upon a time
Before the rain began...

I finish up my coffee
It's time to (23)__________ the train
