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 [G] coming in
It is always nice to see you, says the man behind the counter
To the woman who has come in
[Gm] She is shaking her umbrella
[N] And I look the other way as they are kissing their hellos
And I am pretending not to see them
And instead I pour [G] the milk
I open up the paper
There is a story of an actor who had died while he was drinking
It [N] was no one I had heard of
And I am turning to the horoscope
And looking for the [G#] funnies
When I am feeling someone watching me
And so I raise my [Gm] head
There is a [F#] woman on the outside looking inside
[G] Does she see me?
No, she does not really see me
Cause she sees her own reflection
[N] And I am trying not to notice that she is hitching up her skirt
And while she is straightening her stockings
Her hair has gotten wet
Oh, this rain, it will continue through [G] the morning
As I am listening to the bells of the cathedral
[D] I am thinking of your [G] voice
And of the midnight picnic once upon a time
Before the rain began
[N] And I finish up my coffee
And it is time to catch the train
[G] Oops!
I am waiting at the counter for the man to pour the coffee
