Bacon’s frying, eggs are on the grill
Ordered my usual, guess I always will
Morning paper, it’s been passed around
Conversation, is easily found
When it’s time to rest my bones
In a place that feels just like home
Where the waitress knows your name
And many faces are the same
All gathered at the somewhere else café… we’ll pass the time away
Mary owns the place, been here 18 years
Through blood and sweat, and just a few tears
She starts at 5 am, before the sun is up
Pours out her heart, into each coffee cup
When it’s time…
A slice of life, with a slice of pie
All you have to do, is stop on by
Joe and Sally, argue politics
Jim ignores them, he’s got a roof to fix
In her high chair, Kate throws cheerios
Mary sweeps them up, hugs her before she goes
