You come from far away With pictures in your eyes Of coffee… - Suzanne Vega

" "
You come from far away
With pictures in your eyes
Of coffeeshops and morning streets
In the blue and silent sunrise
But night is the cathedral
Where we recognized the sign
We strangers know each other now
As part of the whole design

I open up the paper, there's the story of an actor who had died while he was drinking, it was no one I had heard of.

As they are kissing their hellos
And I'm pretending not to see them
