Tom's Diner

Do do do do... / - / - / : 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    / - / - / - / - / Do do do do... "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 Do do do do... 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    When I’m feeling someone watching me    And so I raise my head Do do do do... There’s a woman on the outside Looking inside does she see me No she does not really see me ’Cause she sees her own reflection    And I’m trying not to notice    That she’s hitching up her skirt    And while she’s straightening her stockings    Her hair has gotten wet Do do do do... 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 Do do do do...
