Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega

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

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

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

And I look the (8)__________ way
As (9)________ are (10)______________ their hellos
I'm pretending not to see them
And instead I (11)________ the milk

I (12)________ up the paper
There's a story of an actor
Who had died while he was drinking
It was no one I had (13)__________ 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 (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 (16)________________ up her skirt
And while she's (17)__________________________ her stockings
Her hair is (18)______________ wet

Oh, this rain 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 (20)________________ picnic
Once upon a time
Before the rain began...

I (21)____________ up my coffee
It's (22)________ to catch the train
