Tom’s Diner Lyrics
I am sitting
In the morning
At the (dining)
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
I open
(of) the paper
There's a story
Of (the) (actor)
Who had (?tempa)
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
(No) she sees
Her (own) (affection)
And I'm trying
Not to notice
That she's (?stretching)
Up her (skirt)
And while she's
(?drinking) her (?stocking)
Her hair
Has gotten (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 (of) my coffee
It's time to (catch) the (train)
