I am sitting
In the morning
At the diner
On the corner [b0] I am waiting
At the counter
For the man
To pour the coffee [b1] And he fills it
Only halfway
And before
I even argue

He is looking
Out the window [b0] At somebody
Coming in [B] It is always
Nice to see you
Says the man
Behind the counter [b0] To the woman
Who has come in
She is shaking
Her umbrella [b1] And I look
The other way [b0] As they are kissing
Their hellos

(and) I'm pretending
Not to see them [b1] (and) Instead
I pour the milk [B] I open
Up the paper
There's a story
Of an actor [b0] Who had died
While he was drinking
It was no one
I had heard of [b1] And I'm turning
To the horoscope [b0] And looking
For the funnies [b1] When I'm feeling
Someone watching me
And so
I raise my head [b] There's a woman
On the outside
Looking inside
Does she see me? [b] No she does not
Really see me
Cause she sees
Her own reflection [b] And I'm trying
Not to notice
That she's hitching
Up her skirt

And while she's
Straightening her stockings
Her hair
Has gotten wet [B] Oh, this rain
It will continue
Through the morning
As I'm listening [b] To the bells
Of the cathedral
I am thinking
Of your voice... [B] And of the midnight picnic
Once upon a time
Before the rain began... [B] I finish up my coffee
It's time to catch the train
