I am sitting in the [G] morning at the diner on the corner
[N] 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 [G] coming in
It is [N] 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 [G] the milk.
I
Open up the paper.
There's a story of an actor who had died while [N] 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 because she sees her own reflection and I'm trying not to notice that she's
Hitching up [F] her skirt and while [G] 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
[C] of the
midnight picnic once [G] upon a time before the rain began
And [N] I finish up my coffee and it's time to catch the train
[N] 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 [G] coming in
It is [N] always nice to see you says the man behind the counter to the woman who has come in
