Suzanne Vega - Tom's Diner
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
And instead I pour the milk
And 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 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…
Da da da da…
清晨, 我坐在拐角处的小饭馆
在吧台前, 等那个男人给我倒咖啡
他居然只倒了一半的量---我正想跟他抗议
他看向窗外, 有人快要进来
"见到你总是很高兴"
吧台后的男人对进来的女人说
女人正抖落伞上的水珠
我转头看向另一边 他们亲吻对方
装着没有注意他们 我倒了些牛奶
打开报纸 有篇关于一个演员的文章
在他饮酒时死去 不过是某个人物罢了
我开始看星象栏目 寻找有趣的东西
突然感觉有人在注视我 于是抬起头
外面有个女人 正看向里面
她看见我了么? 不她并没有在看我
而是看着她自己的影像
我试图回避 她正拉起她的裙子
当她拉紧她的长袜时 雨水打湿了头发
这雨会持续整个早晨 我一直听着
教堂的钟声 想念你的声音
