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 (3)______________ out the window
At somebody coming in

"It is always (4)________ to see you"
Says the man (5)____________ the counter
To the (6)__________ who has (7)________ in
She is shaking her umbrella

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

I (11)________ up the paper
There's a story of an actor
Who had died while he was drinking
It was no one I had (12)__________ of

And I'm (13)______________ to the horoscope
And looking for the funnies
When I'm (14)______________ someone watching me
And so I (15)__________ my head

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

And I'm trying not to notice
That she's (18)________________ up her skirt
And while she's straightening her stockings
Her (19)________ is (20)______________ wet

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

And of the midnight picnic
Once (22)________ a time
Before the (23)________ began...

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