IN AN OUTDOOR CAFE YOU DREW MY PICTURE,
DRINKING COFFEE ALL ALONE
I LOOKED UP AND I CAUGHT YOU STARING,
AT A PICTURE ALL YOUR OWN.
TELL ME, WHAT ARE YOU SEEING?
DO YOU THINK THAT I'M ALONE?
AND DO THOSE LINES UPON YOUR PAPER
SAY I'M SOMEONE THAT YOU'VE KNOWN
WELL I WONDER WHAT YOU'D DO IF I TOLD YOU
THAT I'M A PAINTER JUST LIKEYOU
I PAINT YOUR PICTURE WITH THESE WORDS
INSTEAD OF BRUSHES LIKE YOU DO
TELL ME, WHAT ARE YOU SEEING?
DO YOU THINK THAT I'M ALONE?
AND DO THOSE LINES UPON YOUR PAPER
SAY I'M SOMEONE THAT YOU'VE KNOWN
NOW IT'S A WRITER OR A PAINTER,
WHO CAN TAKE A STRANGER HOME,
CAPTURED IN THE LINES UPON THE PAPER
IN A PICTURE OR A POEM.
DO YOU SEE WHAT I'M SEEING THAT
YOU'RE ANOTHER ONE ALONE
AND DO THESE LINES UPON MY PAPER SAY
YOU'RE SOMEONE THAT I'VE KNOWN?
DRINKING COFFEE ALL ALONE
I LOOKED UP AND I CAUGHT YOU STARING,
