Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega
I am (1)______________ 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 (2)____________ in
"It is always nice to see you"
Says the man (3)____________ the counter
To the woman who has come in
She is (4)______________ her umbrella
And I look the other way
As (5)________ are (6)______________ (7)__________ hellos
I'm pretending not to see them
And (8)______________ I pour the milk
I (9)________ up the paper
There's a story of an actor
Who had died (10)__________ he was drinking
It was no one I had heard of
And I'm (11)______________ to the horoscope
And (12)______________ for the funnies
When I'm feeling (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 sees her own reflection
And I'm (16)____________ not to notice
That she's (17)________________ up her skirt
And (18)__________ she's (19)__________________________ her stockings
Her hair is getting wet
Oh, this rain it (20)________ continue
Through the morning as I'm listening
To the bells of the cathedral
I am thinking of your voice...
And of the (21)________________ picnic
Once upon a time
Before the rain began...
I finish up my coffee
It's (22)________ to (23)__________ the train
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
