Suzanne Lyrics

I am sitting
The singer is currently seated.

In the morning
It is currently morning.

At the diner
The singer is at a diner.

On the corner
The diner is located on a street corner.

I am waiting
The artist is waiting for something.

At the counter
The singer is standing at the counter.

For the man
The singer is waiting for the waiter.

To pour the coffee
The artist is waiting for the waiter to pour coffee.

And he fills it
The waiter pours the coffee.

Only halfway
The waiter does not fill the cup to the top.

And before
Before the singer can react to the previous line.

I even argue
The artist wants to argue with the waiter.

He is looking
The waiter looks away.

Out the window
The waiter looks through the window.

At somebody
The waiter is looking at someone.

Coming in
The person the waiter is looking at is entering the diner.

"It is always
The waiter greets the person who just entered the diner.

Nice to see you"
The waiter greets the person who just entered the diner and says it is nice to see them.

Says the man
The waiter speaks.

Behind the counter
The waiter is standing behind the counter.

To the woman
The waiter is speaking to a woman.

Who has come in
The woman is the person who just entered the diner.

She is shaking
The woman is shaking off water from her umbrella.

Her umbrella
The woman has an umbrella.

And I look
The singer looks elsewhere.

The other way
The singer looks in the opposite direction.

As they are kissing
The singer looks away as the two individuals start kissing.

Their hellos
The two individuals are greeting each other.

And I'm pretending
The artist is pretending.

Not to see them
The singer is trying not to look at the two individuals.

And instead
The singer shifts their attention to something else.

I pour the milk
The artist pours milk into their coffee.

I open
The artist opens a newspaper.

Up the paper
The artist unfolds the newspaper.

There's a story
The newspaper has a story.

Of an actor
The story is about an actor.

Who had died
The actor in the story has passed away.

While he was drinking
The actor passed away while drinking.

It was no one
The singer did not know the actor.

I had heard of
The artist was not familiar with the actor.

And I'm turning
The artist is turning the page.

To the horoscope
The singer is reading the horoscope section.

And looking
The singer is trying to find something.

For the funnies
The artist is looking for the comics.

When I'm feeling
The artist starts to sense something.

Someone watching me
The artist feels like someone is watching them.

And so
As a result of the previous line.

I raise my head
The artist lifts their head.

There's a woman
There is a woman standing outside.

On the outside
The woman is outside of the diner.

Looking inside
The woman is looking through the window.

Does she see me?
The artist wonders if the woman can see them.

No, she does not
The woman cannot see the artist.

Really see me
Even if the woman could see the singer, she would not really see them.

Because she sees
The woman sees something else.

Her own reflection
The woman sees her own reflection.

And I'm trying
The artist is attempting to avoid looking at the woman.

Not to notice
The artist is trying not to pay attention to the woman.

That she's hitching
The singer inadvertently glances at the woman.

Up her skirt
The woman is lifting her skirt.

And while she's
During the time that she is doing this.

Straightening her stockings
The woman is adjusting her stockings.

Her hair
The woman's hair.

Has gotten wet
The rain has made the woman's hair wet.

Oh, this rain
The artist remarks upon the rain.

It will continue
The rain will continue.

Through the morning
The rain will persist throughout the morning.

As I'm listening
The artist is paying attention to.

To the bells
The artist is listening to bells.

Of the cathedral
The bells are coming from a cathedral.

I am thinking
The singer is reflecting.

Of your voice
The artist is thinking about someone's voice.

And of the midnight picnic
The singer is reminiscing about a past event.

Once upon a time
The event happened in the past.

Before the rain began
The picnic happened before it started to rain.

I finish up my coffee
The artist finishes their coffee.

And it's time to catch the train
The artist needs to leave to catch a train.
