Subject: Tom’s diner

The song is telling a story about Suzanne Vega. In the raining morning, she always goes have breakfast in a coffee shop on the corner calls “Tom’s restaurant”.
She used a simple way to describe how people normal doing in the shop. Many singles should have the same experiences in the coffee shop. Like the waiter say hello to the customers, “it is always nice to see you" Says the man behind the counter; a contrast with the lady who has gotten wet while she hitching her skirt outside the window, Suzanne looks quietly, it’s difficult to see in the city life. Newspaper always rife with facts and cruel. She missed her boyfriend when she heard the bell from the church. Past memories pass her mind, and it’s a feeling of lazy and lonely.
It’s still raining outside, she start to compliant, at the same time, it’s a morning blue for she needs to catch the train and start a busy day.
