[f 她的曲调简单得不能再简单，所唱的每一句歌词浅白得任何人一听就能明白，合在一起却是那样朦朦胧胧，扑朔迷离。犹如海边的一片沙滩，干净、自然，没有丝毫粉饰的痕迹，这就是Suzanne Vega。

[f 這首歌是Suzanne Vega在她常去的街角的一家叫做 Tom's Restaurant 的咖啡店用早餐時的隨寫。整首歌其實非常簡單，用一般的口語將捕捉到的一些生活剪影呈現出來。從薇格走進湯姆的店裡等候咖啡開始，許多現代都會單身上班族走進類似咖啡早餐店時都有的尋常經驗，如店員與熟識客人的親密招呼、窗外對著透明玻璃整理褲襪的女士、腦裡偶然閃過的過往記憶，都在薇格乾淨又有點磁性的清唱嗓音中，被速寫成了這一首可能是有史以來被翻唱改編最多的一首小品。
Tom's Diner
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
And instead I pour the milk
And 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 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…
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
Da da da da…
