You sit back in the painted wood
Doing all the things you should
Watching how the garden grows
Where the wild Monarda flows
Oh let the kitchen light shine bright
Turning all the grey to white
Wait for the kettle's steady steam
Living in a golden beam
You know how the soil feels deep
While the dormant seedlings sleep
Patient as a rooted tree
Waiting for the leaf to be
Oh let the kitchen light shine bright
Turning all the grey to white
Wait for the kettle's steady steam
Living in a golden beam
Your rocking chair begins to sway
Closing out a heavy day
Watching for the evening dew
Making every moment new
Oh let the kitchen light shine bright
Turning all the grey to white
Wait for the kettle's steady steam
Living in a golden beam
Look at how the petals fold
Turning from the green to gold
Like a rare botanical
Something purely magical
Put the heavy burden down
Leave the noise of every town
Feel the warmth inside the cup
Watch the summer moon rise up
Latin names for every weed
Sowing every single seed
Patience is a steady art
Keeping rhythm with your heart
Oh let the kitchen light shine bright
Turning all the grey to white
Wait for the kettle's steady steam
Living in a golden beam
Just a golden beam
Just a golden beam
Let it steam
Let it steam
