This Seat's Been Taken

Donald Fagen

What is the meaning
Of the morning rain?
I got a feeling
It's no good
I waited for my baby
But she never made the train
Now I'm hoping
At the next stop she will be there
She'll catch my eye
And satisfy my every care
This seat's been taken
Don't ask me where she's coming from
You're quite mistaken
You know she's gonna be here
I know she's gonna come
She must have a reason
I will understand
I know she'll turn up
By and by
I'll see her standing
With a suitcase in her hand
And she'll tell me
How she couldn't find a pay 'phone
She'll start to cry
I'll realize I'm not alone
