At the diner on the corner

I am _______ at the counter 

For the man to pour the coffee 

And he fills it only halfway 

And before I even argue 

He is _______ 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 _______ her umbrella

And I look the other way 

As they are _______ their hellos 

I'm ___________ not to see them 

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 _______for the funnies 

When I'm _______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 _______ not to notice 

That she's hitching up her skirt 

And while she's straightening her stockings 

Her hair is _______ wet

Oh, this rain - it will continue 

Through the morning as I'm _______ 

To the bells of the cathedral 

I am _______ 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
