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
And I’m pretending
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
He was no one
I had heard of
And I’m turning
To the 1)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 2)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...
早晨,我坐在拐角处的小饭馆里
在吧台前,等着那个男人给我倒咖啡
他只倒了一半——我正想抗议
他看向窗外,有人进来了
“见到你总是很高兴”,吧台后的男人
对进来的女人说道,女人正抖落伞上的水珠
我转过头去,任他们亲昵地贴面问好
我装作没在看他们,给自己加了些牛奶
我打开报纸,看到一篇关于一个男演员的报道
是醉酒而亡,可我不知道他是谁
我翻到星座栏目,想找些有趣的东西
直到感觉有人在看我,于是我抬起头
窗外有个女人正在朝里看,是在看我吗?
不,她并没有看我,她只是在看玻璃镜中的自己我试图回避,因为她在理顺自己的长袜时
裙子向上缩去,雨水打湿了她的头发
雨会持续整个早晨,我听着
教堂传来的钟声,想念你的声音……
音乐地点
歌中的Tom’s Diner就是这家位于纽约曼哈顿上城第112街和百老汇街交界处的Tom’s Restaurant。
