I am sitting in the morning with the band around 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.
[F#] Through the woman who has come in she is shaking her [C#m] umbrella and [F#m] I look the other way as they
are kissing their pillows [C#m] and I am pretending not to see them and instead I pour [A] the milk.
[F#m]
I open the paper there is a story of an actor who had died while he was drinking.
There was no one I [C#m] had heard of and [F#m] I am running through the horoscope
and looking for the funnies when I am feeling someone watching me and so I raise my head.
[A] [F#m]
[C#m] [F#m] There [F#] is a woman on the outside looking inside does she see me?
No she does not really see me.
She sees her own reflection and [F#m] I am trying not to notice that she is stitching up [C#m] her
skirt and while [F#m] she straightens her stockings her hair has gotten wet.
All this rain has been in you through the morning as I am listening through the bells
of the cathedral and I am thinking of your voice.
