Lyrics

[00:01.000] I am sitting
[00:02.000] In the morning
[00:03.000] At the diner
[00:04.000] On the corner
[00:05.000] I am waiting
[00:06.000] At the counter
[00:08.000] For the man
[00:09.000] To pour the coffee
[00:10.000] And he fills it
[00:11.000] Only halfway
[00:13.000] And before
[00:14.000] I even argue
[00:15.000] He is looking
[00:16.000] Out the window
[00:17.000] At somebody
[00:18.000] Coming in
[00:22.000] It is always
[00:23.000] Nice to see you
[00:24.000] Says the man
[00:25.000] Behind the counter
[00:27.000] To the woman
[00:28.000] Who has come in
[00:29.000] She is shaking
[00:30.000] Her umbrella
[00:32.000] And I look
[00:33.000] The other way
[00:34.000] As they are kissing
[00:35.000] Their hellos
[00:36.000] I'm pretending
[00:37.000] Not to see them
[00:39.000] And Instead
[00:40.000] I pour the milk
[00:44.000] I open
[00:45.000] Up the paper
[00:46.000] There's a story
[00:47.000] Of an actor
[00:48.000] Who had died
[00:49.000] While he was drinking
[00:51.000] He was no one
[00:52.000] I had heard of
[00:52.700] And I'm turning
[00:52.500] To the horoscope
[00:53.900] And looking
[00:55.800] For the funnies
[00:57.400] When I'm feeling
[00:58.400] Someone watching me
[01:02.100] And so
[01:03.100] I raise my head
[01:05.100] There's a woman
[01:06.100] On the outside
[01:07.100] Looking inside
[01:07.500] Does she see me?
[01:09.500] No she does not
[01:10.500] Really see me
[01:11.500] Cause she sees
[01:12.500] Her own reflection
[01:13.500] And I'm trying
[01:14.900] Not to notice
[01:15.900] That she's hitching
[01:16.900] Up her skirt
[01:17.900] And while she's
[01:18.900] Straightening her stockings
[01:20.900] Her hair
[01:21.900] Is getting wet
[01:24.900] Oh, this rain
[01:26.900] It will continue
[01:28.900] Through the morning
[01:29.900] As I'm listening
[01:30.900] To the bells
[01:31.900] Of the cathedral
[01:36.900] I am thinking
[01:38.900] Of your voice...
[01:41.900] And of the midnight picnic
[01:44.900] Once upon a time
[01:46.900] Before the rain began...
[01:52.900] I finish up my coffee
[01:54.900] It's time to catch the train
