Simple

​[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
