Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega

I am (1)______________ in the morning
At the (2)__________ on the corner
I am (3)______________ 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 (4)________________ coming in

"It is (5)____________ nice to see you"
Says the man behind the counter
To the woman who has (6)________ in
She is (7)______________ her umbrella

And I look the other way
As they are (8)______________ 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 (9)________ while he was drinking
It was no one I had (10)__________ of

And I'm turning to the horoscope
And (11)______________ for the funnies
When I'm (12)______________ (13)______________ watching me
And so I raise my head

There's a (14)__________ on the outside
Looking inside
Does she see me?
No she (15)________ not really see me
Cause she (16)________ 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, (17)________ rain it (18)________ 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 (19)________ a time
Before the rain began...

I (20)____________ up my coffee
It's (21)________ to (22)__________ the (23)__________
