Lyrics for Breakfast
I can hear her out In the kitchen making breakfast for me I'm still in bed, and I can see it all in my head I'll wash the plates that just don't break As she lays her burden down for me She don't eat, she don't sleep Why, she don't even drink I drink So that we don't fight She don't drink so that we don't fight She hates to watch me eat or go hungry Still loves me, you see And she's been leaving like a sun tan Ever since the sunset began And when she leaves the surgery She leaves her watching me And breakfast is my favorite meal of the day
