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 (4)________ argue
He is looking out the window
At somebody (5)____________ in

"It is always (6)________ to see you"
Says the man behind the counter
To the woman who has come in
She is shaking her umbrella

And I look the (7)__________ way
As they are kissing (8)__________ 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 (9)________ while he was drinking
It was no one I had (10)__________ of

And I'm turning to the horoscope
And (11)______________ for the funnies
When I'm (12)______________ (13)______________ (14)________________ me
And so I raise my head

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

And I'm trying not to notice
That she's (17)________________ up her skirt
And (18)__________ she's straightening her stockings
Her hair is (19)______________ wet

Oh, this rain it will continue
Through the morning as I'm listening
To the (20)__________ of the cathedral
I am thinking of your voice...

And of the midnight picnic
Once upon a time
Before the rain began...

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