“I am sitting in the morning
at the diner on the corner”
Tom's Diner
Solitude Standing (1987)
Contexto: 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.
“I won't march again on your battlefield.”
The Queen and the Soldier
Suzanne Vega (1985)
“I have swallowed a secret burning thread.”
The Queen and the Soldier

After that, you don't ask why.”

I would still look you in the eye”

He said "I am not fighting for you any more."”
