Текст песни Tom's Diner (feat. Suzanne Vega) (1990)

I am sitting in the morning
<br />At the diner on the corner
<br />I am waiting at the counter
<br />For the man to pour the coffee


And he fills it only halfway
<br />And before I even argue
<br />He is looking out the window
<br />At somebody coming in


`It is always nice to see you`
<br />Says the man behind the counter
<br />To the woman who has come in
<br />She is shaking her umbrella


And I look the other way
<br />As they are kissing their hellos
<br />I`m pretending not to see them
<br />Instead I pour the milk


I open up the paper
<br />There`sa story of an actor
<br />Who had died while he was drinking
<br />It was no one I had heard of


And I`m turning to the horoscope
<br />And looking for the funnies
<br />When I`m feeling someone watching me
<br />And so I raise my head


There`sa woman on the outside
<br />Looking inside does she see me?
<br />No she does not really see me
<br />Cause she sees her own reflection


And I`m trying not to notice
<br />That she`s hitching up her skirt
<br />And while she`s straightening her stockings
<br />Her hair is getting wet


Oh, this rain it will continue
<br />Through the morning as I`m listening
<br />To the bells of the cathedral
<br />I am thinking of your voice...


And of the midnight picnic
<br />Once upon a time
<br />Before the rain began...
<br />I finish up my coffee
<br />It`s time to catch the train
