[00:00.98]I am sitting
[00:02.04]In the morning
[00:03.36]At the diner
[00:04.50]On the corner
[00:05.74]I am waiting
[00:06.89]At the counter
[00:08.15]For the man
[00:08.88]To pour the coffee
[00:10.50]And he fills it
[00:11.67]Only halfway
[00:12.82]And before
[00:13.77]I even argue
[00:14.73]
[00:15.38]He is looking
[00:16.40]Out the window
[00:17.64]At somebody
[00:18.27]
[00:18.79]Coming in
[00:19.43]
[00:22.43]It is always
[00:23.60]Nice to see you
[00:24.80]Says the man
[00:25.72]Behind the counter
[00:27.24]To the woman
[00:28.40]Who has come in
[00:29.70]She is shaking
[00:30.87]Her umbrella
[00:31.59]
[00:32.22]And I look
[00:32.91]The other way
[00:33.64]
[00:34.21]As they are kissing
[00:35.73]Their hellos
[00:36.82]And I'm pretending
[00:37.64]
[00:38.17]Not to see them
[00:39.36]And Instead
[00:40.51]I pour the milk
[00:41.36]
[00:44.58]I open
[00:45.38]Up the paper
[00:46.42]There's a story
[00:47.57]Of an actor
[00:48.86]Who had died
[00:50.03]He was drinking
[00:51.34]He was no one
[00:52.52]I had heard of
[00:53.76]And I'm turning
[00:54.81]To the horoscope
[00:55.71]
[00:56.64]And looking
[00:57.15]For the funnies
[00:58.08]
[00:58.65]When I'm feeling
[00:59.54]Someone watching me
[01:01.11]And so
[01:01.92]I raise my head
[01:03.39]There's a woman
[01:04.56]On the outside
[01:05.81]Looking inside
[01:06.93]Does she see me
[01:08.17]No she does not
[01:09.29]Really see me
[01:10.51]'Cause she sees
[01:11.13]Her own reflection
[01:12.41]
[01:13.04]And I'm trying
[01:14.01]Not to notice
[01:14.68]
[01:15.21]That she's hitching
[01:16.35]Up her skirt
[01:17.23]And while she's
[01:18.11]Straightening her stockings
[01:20.22]Her hair
[01:20.92]Is getting wet
[01:22.04]
[01:25.11]Oh this rain
[01:26.31]
[01:27.10]It will continue
[01:28.23]Through the morning
[01:29.38]As I'm listening
[01:30.62]To the bells
[01:31.74]Of the cathedral
[01:33.12]
[01:36.41]I am thinking
[01:38.54]Of your voice
[01:39.62]
[01:41.90]And of the midnight picnic
[01:44.97]Once upon a time
[01:46.62]Before the rain began
[01:47.95]
[01:52.22]And I finish up my coffee
[01:54.03]And it's time to catch the train
