Tom's Diner Lyrics - Singles - The Sweet

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 

I'm pretending 

Not to see them 

Instead 

I pour the milk 

Photos 

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 

It's time to catch the train
