Empty Diner, Full Heart

The diner's empty, but the lights stay on. A waitress humming till the night is gone. We took the corner booth, our usual place. Nothing on the menu We ain't had to face. Empty diner, Full heart tonight. Two more strangers finding out it's all Right. The coffee's weak, The hour is late. Empty diner. We don't mind the wait. I watched him stir his coffee, Slow and calm. Like there was nowhere else to lay his palm. Some nights the emptiness feels like a friend. An empty diner where the road can Bend. Empty diner, Full heart tonight. Two more strangers finding out it's all Right. The coffee's weak, The hour is late. Empty diner. We don't mind the wait.
