I am sitting[00:00:01]
In the morning[00:00:02]
At the diner[00:00:03]
On the corner[00:00:04]
I am waiting[00:00:05]
At the counter[00:00:06]
For the man[00:00:08]
To pour the coffee[00:00:09]
And he fills it[00:00:10]
Only halfway[00:00:11]
And before[00:00:13]
I even argue[00:00:14]
He is looking[00:00:15]
Out the window[00:00:16]
At somebody[00:00:17]
Coming in[00:00:18]
"It is always[00:00:22]
Nice to see you"[00:00:23]
Says the man[00:00:24]
Behind the counter[00:00:25]
To the woman[00:00:27]
Who has come in[00:00:28]
She is shaking[00:00:29]
Her umbrella[00:00:30]
And I look[00:00:32]
The other way[00:00:33]
As they are kissing[00:00:34]
Their hellos[00:00:35]
I'm pretending[00:00:36]
Not to see them[00:00:37]
And Instead[00:00:39]
I pour the milk[00:00:40]
I open[00:00:44]
Up the paper[00:00:45]
There's a story[00:00:46]
Of an actor[00:00:47]
Who had died[00:00:48]
While he was drinking[00:00:49]
He was no one[00:00:51]
I had heard of[00:00:52]
And I'm turning[00:00:53]
To the horoscope[00:00:54]
And looking[00:00:56]
For the funnies[00:00:57]
When I'm feeling[00:00:58]
Someone watching me[00:00:59]
And so[00:01:00]
I raise my head[00:01:01]
There's a woman[00:01:03]
On the outside[00:01:04]
Looking inside[00:01:05]
Does she see me?[00:01:06]
No she does not[00:01:08]
Really see me[00:01:09]
Cause she sees[00:01:10]
Her own reflection[00:01:11]
And I'm trying[00:01:12]
Not to notice[00:01:14]
That she's hitching[00:01:15]
Up her skirt[00:01:16]
And while she's[00:01:17]
Straightening her stockings[00:01:18]
Her hair[00:01:20]
Is getting wet[00:01:21]
Oh, this rain[00:01:24]
It will continue[00:01:26]
Through the morning[00:01:28]
As I'm listening[00:01:29]
To the bells[00:01:30]
Of the cathedral[00:01:31]
I am thinking[00:01:36]
Of your voice...[00:01:38]
And of the midnight picnic[00:01:41]
Once upon a time[00:01:44]
Before the rain began...[00:01:46]
I finish up my coffee[00:01:52]
It's time to catch the train[00:01:54]
