The Kitchen Light

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You leave the kitchen light on low A cup turned upside down to dry Your coat beside the doorway waits While rain keeps tapping at the glass [Pre-Chorus] No grand parade, no perfect line Just your hand finding mine [Chorus] Amor, you make the ordinary stay A little longer at the end of day In folded shirts and coffee shared I find the whole world waiting there Amor, when every road feels far You are the place I know by heart [Verse 2] You know which step will always creak You save the last warm piece of bread You laugh before the punchline lands And tuck my name into your plans [Pre-Chorus] No shining vow we have to prove Just all the ways we choose [Chorus] Amor, you make the ordinary stay A little longer at the end of day In folded shirts and coffee shared I find the whole world waiting there Amor, when every road feels far You are the place I know by heart [Bridge] If seasons turn the garden bare And silver finds us in our hair I’ll know the small things still are true The cup, the coat, the room, and you [Final Chorus] Amor, you make the ordinary stay A little longer at the end of day In folded shirts and coffee shared I find the whole world waiting there Amor, through every changing part You are the place I know by heart [Outro] The kitchen light is burning low I’m home because you’re home
