Tasty Tunes [Songs] - Covers
Tom's Diner
Lyrics:
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
And 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
