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

da da da da, da da da da
da da da da, da da da da (2X)

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

da da da da, da da da da
da da da da, da da da da (2X)

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
But I'm feeling someone watching me and so I raise my head

da da da da, da da da da
da da da da, da da da da (4X)

There's a woman on the outside looking inside, does she see me?
No she does not, clearly see me, she sees her own reflection
And I'm trying not to notice that she's hitching up her skirt
And while she's straitening her stockings, her hair has gotten wet

da da da da, da da da da
da da da da, da da da da (2X)

Oh this raining will continue through the morning as I'm listening to the bells of the cathedral

I am thinking your voice

da da da da, da da da da
da da da da, da da da da (continues to fade)
