Tom`s Diner Lyrics

Tom's Diner

 Suzanne Vega

 

 I am sitting

 In the morning

 At the diner

 On the corner

 

 I am waiting

 At the counter

 For the man

 To pour the coffee

 

 And he fills it

 Only halfway

 And before

 I even argue

 

 He is looking

 Out the window

 At somebody

 Coming in

 

 "It is always

 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

 While he was drinking

 He was no one

 I had heard of

 

 And I'm turning

 To the horoscope

 And looking

 For the funnies

 

 When I'm feeling

 Someone watching me

 And so

 I raise 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 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 rain began...

 

 I finish up my coffee

 It's time to catch the train
