| D d duh dut d d duh dut |
| D d duh dut d d duh dut |
| D d duh dut d d duh dut |
| D d duh dut d d duh dut |
| D d duh dut d d duh dut |
| D d duh dut d d duh dut |
| D d duh dut d d duh dut |
| D d duh dut d d duh dut |
| D d duh dut d d duh dut..... |
| 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 |
| D d duh dut d d duh dut.... |
| 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 am pretending not to see them |
| And instead I pour the milk |
| D d duh dut d d duh dut.... |
| I open up the paper |
| There’s a story of an actor |
| He 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 |
| I am feeling someone watching me |
| And so I raise my head |
| D d duh dut d d duh dut.... |
| There’s a woman on the outside |
| Looking inside does she see me |
| No she does not truly see me |
| 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 |
| D d duh dut d d duh dut..... |
| Oh this rain it will continue |
| Through the morning as I’m listening |
| To the bells of the cathedral |
| Bridge: |
| x2 |
| I am thinking of your voice |
