“Tom’s Diner”
Suzanne Vega (1981)

|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 and 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 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... |
|And I finish up my coffee and it's time to catch the train. |
