Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega

I am (1)______________ in the morning
At the diner on the corner
I am (2)______________ at the counter
For the man to pour the coffee

And he (3)__________ it only halfway
And before I even argue
He is looking out the window
At somebody (4)____________ in

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

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

I open up the paper
There's a (10)__________ of an actor
Who had died while he was drinking
It was no one I had (11)__________ of

And I'm turning to the horoscope
And looking for the funnies
When I'm (12)______________ someone watching me
And so I (13)__________ my head

There's a (14)__________ on the outside
Looking inside
Does she see me?
No she (15)________ 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 straightening her stockings
Her hair is getting wet

Oh, (16)________ (17)________ it will continue
Through the (18)______________ as I'm listening
To the (19)__________ of the cathedral
I am (20)________________ of your voice...

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

I finish up my coffee
It's (22)________ to catch the train
