Bill Callahan
Breakfast
[Verse 1]
I can hear her out
In the kitchen
Making breakfast for me

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
She hates to watch me eat
Or go hungry
Still loves me, you see

[Verse 4]
And she's been leaving like a sun tan
Ever since the sunset began
[Outro]
And when she leaves the surgery
She leaves her watching me
And breakfast is my favorite meal of the day
