I am sittin' in the morning
At the diner on the corner
I am waitin' at the counter
For the man to pour the coffee
And he fills it only halfway
And before I even argue
He is lookin' out the window
At somebody comin' in
"It is always nice to see ya"
Says the man behind the counter
To the woman who has come in
She is shakin' her umbrella
And I look the other way
As they are kissing their hellos
I'm pretending 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 drinkin'
It was no one I had heard of
And I'm turnin' to the horoscope
And lookin' for the funnies
When I'm feelin' someone's watching me
And so I raise my head
There's a woman on the outside
Lookin' inside, does she see me?
No she doesn't really see me
'Cause she sees her own reflection
And I'm trying not to notice
That she's hitchin' 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
And I'm thinkin' 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
