“Tom´s dinner”

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, onlyhalfway 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, sheis shaking her umbrella

And I look the other way as they are kissing their hellos and

I'm pretending not to see them instead I pour the milk.

Oh, this rain it will continue throughthe morning as I'm listening

To the bells f 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 and it'stime to catch the train .



TRANSLATION

Estoy sentado por la mañana en la esquina en el comedor,

Estoy a la espera n el mostrador para el hombre para verter el café

Él lo llenasólo a mitad de camino y antes de yo incluso argumentar.

Él está mirando fuera de la ventana a alguien que está entrando.

"Es siempre agradable verte" Dice el hombre detrás delmostrador

A la mujer que está entrando, ella sacude su paraguas

Y miro la manera con la que se besan sus saludos

Estoy fingiendo no verlos y derramo la leche

Oh, esta lluvia continuará através de las mañanas

Yo estoy escuchando las campanas de la catedral

Estoy pensando en tu voz

Y en el picnic de medianoche una vez, después de comenzar a llover

Termino mi café yes hora de coger el tren.
