At the (1)__________ on the corner
I am waiting at the counter
For the man to pour the coffee

And he fills it (2)________ halfway
And before I even argue

"It is always nice to see you"

To the (3)__________ who has come in
She is (4)______________ her umbrella

And I (5)________ the other way
As they are (6)______________ their hellos
I'm pretending not to see them
And (7)______________ I (8)________ the milk

I open up the paper
There's a story of an actor
Who had died (9)__________ he was drinking
It was no one I had heard of

And I'm (10)______________ to the horoscope
And (11)______________ for the funnies
When I'm (12)______________ (13)______________ (14)________________ me
And so I (15)__________ my head

Cause she sees her own reflection

And I'm (17)____________ not to notice
That she's (18)________________ up her skirt
And while she's straightening her stockings
Her hair is getting wet

Oh, this rain it will 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 upon a time
Before the (19)________ began...

I (20)____________ up my coffee
It's time to catch the (21)__________
