Tom's Diner Lyrics - Dna

I am sitting 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 coming in 

"It is always nice to see you" 

Says the man behind the counter 

To the woman who has come in 

She is shaking her umbrella 

And I look the other way 

As they are kissing their hellos 

And I'm pretending not to see them 

Instead I pour the milk 

I open up the paper 

There's a story of an actor 

Who had died while he was drinking 

It was no one I had heard of 

And I'm turning to the horoscope 

And looking for the funnies 

When I'm feeling someone watching me 

And so I raise my head 

There's a woman on the outside 

Looking inside, does she see me? 

No, she does not really see me 

'Cause she sees 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, this rain, it will 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 upon a time 

Before the rain began 

I finish up my coffee 

And it's time to catch the train
