aslen 1982 orjinli olup 1987'de yayımlanan ve klip çekilen nefis bir Suzanne Vega eseri.

bu şarkı 80'ler değilde 90'lardan çıkma bir havası var gibi. zamanının ötesinde bir şarkıdır.

Suzanne Vegan'ın, Broadway'de Toms Restaurantta oturduğu birgün kaleme aldığı sıradan olayların, müzikle birleşerek eğlenceli bir şekilde anlatıldığı şarkıdır.

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 feelingSomeone watching me
And so I raise my head

There's a womanOn 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
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 train.
