[00:00.18]Tom's Diner - Kevin McKay
[00:00.80]Composed by:Suzanne Vega
[00:15.59]I am sitting
[00:16.50]In the morning
[00:17.47]At the diner
[00:18.42]On the corner
[00:19.36]I am waiting
[00:20.36]At the counter
[00:21.36]For the man
[00:22.00]To pour the coffee
[00:23.29]And he fills it
[00:24.21]Only halfway
[00:25.20]And before
[00:25.96]I even argue
[00:27.13]He is looking
[00:28.07]Out the window
[00:29.03]At somebody
[00:29.95]Coming in
[00:46.59]It is always
[00:47.43]Nice to see you
[00:48.48]Says the man
[00:49.12]Behind the counter
[00:50.35]To the woman
[00:51.27]Who has come in
[00:52.31]She is shaking
[00:53.21]Her umbrella
[00:54.23]And I look
[00:54.95]The other way
[00:56.00]As they are kissing
[00:57.10]Their hellos and
[00:58.06]I'm pretending
[00:59.00]Not to see them
[01:00.09]Instead
[01:00.91]I pour the milk
[01:17.87]I open
[01:18.47]Up the paper
[01:19.38]There's a story
[01:20.33]Of an actor
[01:21.40]Who had died
[01:22.09]While he was drinking
[01:23.25]It was no one
[01:24.24]I had heard of
[01:25.29]And I'm turning
[01:26.10]To the horoscope
[01:27.42]And looking
[01:28.07]For the funnies
[01:29.33]When I'm feeling
[01:30.04]Someone watching me
[01:31.37]And so
[01:31.77]I raise my head
[01:33.03]There's a woman
[01:33.96]On the outside
[01:34.88]Looking inside
[01:35.87]Does she see me
[01:36.91]No she does not
[01:37.73]Really see me
[01:38.78]'Cause she sees
[01:39.53]Her own reflection
[01:40.64]And I'm trying
[01:41.61]Not to notice
[01:42.54]That she's hitching
[01:43.56]Up her skirt
[01:44.32]And while she's
[01:45.04]Straightening her stockings
[01:46.72]Her hair
[01:47.22]Has gotten wet
