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 (3)________ halfway
And (4)____________ I even argue
He is (5)______________ out the window
At (6)________________ coming in

"It is (7)____________ nice 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 other way
As they are kissing their 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 died (8)__________ he was drinking
It was no one I had (9)__________ of

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

There's a (14)__________ on the outside
Looking inside
Does she see me?
No she does not (15)____________ see me
Cause she (16)________ her own reflection

And I'm (17)____________ not to notice
That she's (18)________________ up her skirt
And while she's (19)__________________________ her stockings
Her hair is (20)______________ wet

Oh, (21)________ rain it will continue
Through the morning as I'm listening
To the bells of the cathedral
I am thinking of (22)________ voice...

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

I (23)____________ up my coffee
It's (24)________ to (25)__________ the train
