Tom's Diner
Suzanne Vega
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 "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 I'm pretending Not to see them Instead I pour the milk 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 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 Is getting 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 of the midnight picnic Once upon a time Before the rain began... I finish up my coffee It's time to catch the train1990 songs 2 am and counting 3 80's 80s 80s and 90s 80s Music 80s y 90s 80s90s pop 90s 90s pop a capella acoustic adam green alternative Alternative Folk ambient Anna Ternheim balad ballads beautiful Best 100 bestgoddamnedsongsever bouncy Byron catchy chick rock childhood hits chill chillout classic coffee cute dance DAZS FAVOURITES DL easy listening electronica english Favorite favorites female female vocal female vocalist female vocalists female vocals female-vocalists femme-tastic folk folk rock Folksie Girl good goose bumps gotanygoodmusic Great Lyricists guilty pleasure halftoned singles club hurina Indicada pelo Leo jason mraz jewel Lekman Albums loved mellow and scintillating mixit MORE morning morning melodies music for floating nostalgia nostalgic NYC old favorites papa radio pohodove pop Pop Life quality pop rock Quiplash Rachael Yamagata reminds me of high school remixes restaurant rock ruhig sensual Sentimental SHIT FOR AT WORK singer songwriter singer-songwriter smooth soft rock songs i sing in the shower songs I would cover if I were Songs with names suzanne vega top artists tops tracks
