I am sitting in the morning
At the (1)__________ on the corner
I am waiting at the counter
For the man to pour the coffee

And he fills it (2)________ halfway
And (3)____________ 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 (4)__________ who has come in
She is shaking her umbrella

And I look the other way
As they are (5)______________ their hellos
I'm pretending not to see them
And (6)______________ I pour the milk

I open up the paper
There's a story of an actor
Who had died (7)__________ he was drinking
It was no one I had heard of

And I'm turning to the horoscope
And (8)______________ for the funnies
When I'm feeling someone watching me
And so I (9)__________ my head

There's a woman on the outside
Looking inside
Does she see me?
No she does not really see me
Cause she (10)________ her own reflection

And I'm trying not to notice
That she's (11)________________ up her skirt
And (12)__________ she's (13)__________________________ her stockings
Her (14)________ is (15)______________ wet

Oh, this (16)________ it will continue
Through the morning as I'm listening
To the (17)__________ of the cathedral
I am thinking of your voice...

And of the (18)________________ picnic
Once (19)________ a time
Before the (20)________ began...

I finish up my coffee
It's time to (21)__________ the train
