[Verse 1]
Stepping inside from a long day’s work
The scent of the kitchen greets me home
There’s a pan that’s stinging with the heat
As the oil begins to dance
You’re in your duster in the corner
Hair is messy, but you’re beautiful
Plastic plates laid on the table
But it’s your laughter that truly feeds me
[Chorus]
Eggs and dried fish at night
That is the feast you’ve set for me
It may not be meat or a luxury meal
But my heart is full
Not just my stomach
My love
In simple eggs and dried fish at night
This is where I keep falling in love
[Verse 2]
Just a little rice left in the pot
You rationed it for us all day
You tell me,
“I’m sorry, love,
This is all I have”
I say,
“This is where I’m happiest”
The way you stir the eggs
Like the melody of an old, sweet song
The smoke under the yellow light
Like the dancing of our dreams
[Chorus]
Eggs and dried fish at night
That is the feast you’ve set for me
It may not be meat or a luxury meal
But my heart is full
Not just my stomach
My love
In simple eggs and dried fish at night
This is where I keep falling in love
[Bridge]
There are nights when the storms will blow
Times when the world feels far too small
But as long as you’re here at the table
Even the burnt rice
Feels like a celebration
[Chorus]
Eggs and dried fish at night
That is the feast you’ve set for me
It may not be meat or a luxury meal
But my heart is full
Not just my stomach
My love
In simple eggs and dried fish at night
This is where I keep falling in love
