Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega

I am (1)______________ in the morning
At the diner on the corner
I am (2)______________ at the counter
For the man to pour the coffee

And he fills it only halfway
And before I (3)________ argue
He is looking out the window
At (4)________________ (5)____________ in

"It is (6)____________ (7)________ to see you"
Says the man behind the counter
To the (8)__________ who has come in
She is shaking her umbrella

And I (9)________ the (10)__________ way
As they are kissing their hellos
I'm pretending not to see them
And (11)______________ I pour the milk

I (12)________ up the paper
There's a story of an actor
Who had died (13)__________ he was drinking
It was no one I had heard of

And I'm (14)______________ to the horoscope
And (15)______________ for the funnies
When I'm (16)______________ someone watching me
And so I (17)__________ my head

There's a woman on the outside
Looking inside
Does she see me?
No she does not really see me
Cause she (18)________ her own reflection

And I'm trying not to notice
That she's (19)________________ up her skirt
And while she's straightening her stockings
Her hair is (20)______________ wet

Oh, this (21)________ it (22)________ continue
Through the (23)______________ as I'm listening
To the bells of the cathedral
I am thinking of your voice...

And of the midnight picnic
Once (24)________ a time
Before the (25)________ began...

I finish up my coffee
It's (26)________ to catch the train
