Tom's diner - Suzanne Vega <영어 전치사(구) 공부에 아주 좋은 노래>

아무런 반주없이 읖조리듯이 부르는 목소리가 너무 매력적인 노래.
어릴적에 우연히 들은 후로
한번 듣게되면 오랜시간 귓가를 맴돈다.

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

" 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



후에 약간의 반복적인 비트를 넣어 다시 녹음하였다는데..

예전에 파고다외국어학원에서 영어회화 수업을 들을때, 잠깐 학원강사를 하시전 재미교포분이
가르쳐 주신 노래이다. 당시는 별로 못 느꼈었는데, 지나고 보니
이 노래가 영어공부에 큰 도움이 되리라고 생각된다.
꼭 가사를 보면서 듣고, 따라불러보시길~~!!!!
