I am in the morning at the diner on the corner
I am at the counter for the man to pour the coffee
And he it only halfway and before I even
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
And I'm not to see them and 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 me and so I my head
There's a woman on the outside inside
Does she see me? no she does not really see me
'Cause she sees her own reflection
And I'm not to notice that she's her skirt
And while she's straightening her stockings her hair has gotten wet
Oh, this rain it will continue through the morning
As I'm 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
And I my coffee and it's time to catch the train
