Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega
I am sitting in the morning
At the (1)__________ on the corner
I am (2)______________ at the counter
For the man to pour the coffee
And he (3)__________ it only halfway
And (4)____________ I (5)________ argue
He is looking out the window
At (6)________________ (7)____________ in
"It is always (8)________ to see you"
Says the man behind the counter
To the (9)__________ who has come in
She is (10)______________ her umbrella
And I look the (11)__________ way
As (12)________ are kissing their hellos
I'm pretending not to see them
And (13)______________ I (14)________ the milk
I open up the paper
There's a story of an actor
Who had died while he was drinking
It was no one I had heard of
And I'm (15)______________ to the horoscope
And (16)______________ for the funnies
When I'm (17)______________ (18)______________ (19)________________ me
And so I (20)__________ my head
There's a woman on the outside
Looking inside
Does she see me?
No she does not really see me
Cause she sees her own reflection
And I'm trying not to notice
That she's hitching up her skirt
And while she's straightening her stockings
Her hair is getting wet
Oh, this rain it will continue
Through the (21)______________ as I'm listening
To the bells of the cathedral
I am (22)________________ of (23)________ voice...
And of the midnight picnic
Once upon a time
Before the (24)________ began...
I finish up my coffee
It's (25)________ to catch the train
At the (1)__________ on the corner
I am (2)______________ at the counter
For the man to pour the coffee
And he (3)__________ it only halfway
And (4)____________ I (5)________ argue
He is looking out the window
