The Singer and the Songwriter - Over Easy

To Rate
I had a dream we both said we were sorry
And it felt so real almost thought you were here
It felt so real that I tried to get back there
A time travel ticket a dream light as air

In the morning
In the morning

You appear to me again ‘tween the gas range
And the kitchen island
Distant gleaming as a ghost
Slippered feet, hearts in morning robes
Making eggs

Over easy
Over easy

I picture you there in an idle apartment
The TV a searchlight as channels flash by
And there on the counter a card halfway written
You still wanna know if the car runs alright

Are you listening?
Are you missing me?

You appear to me again ‘tween the gas range
And the kitchen island
Distant gleaming as a ghost
Slippered feet, hearts in morning robes
Making eggs
Then I’m 6 years old again
Above the world upon your young man’s shoulders
Half asleep, an anvil’s weight
Draped on you, a runny egg

Over Easy
Over Easy

Though I’ll never hear your footsteps
On the stairs again on Sunday mornings
Wherever you may be I hope
Someone’s there in a morning robe
Making eggs
