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 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
Is getting 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

一个故事
一个用了步枪很多年的人
然后他去打仗了
之后他把枪还给军械库
他相信他不会再使用这把步枪了
不管他再用这双手做什么
爱一个女人
盖一栋房子
给他儿子换尿布
他的手依然挂念着那把步枪

一个故事
一个用了步枪很多年的人

 

 

然后他去打仗了
战争结束他回到家
不管他再用这双手做什么
盖一栋房子
爱一个女人
给他儿子换尿布
他永远都是一个
锅盖头
所有的锅盖头
杀敌和被杀
他们永远
都会是我
