[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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?
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
