I caught the midnight city bus
A grainy shot of all of us
The lens is cracked the focus blurred
A million things I never heard
Silver kettle steam in the air
Rocking chair and a wooden stair
Golden light on the kitchen floor
I can't stay away from that door
I ran through stations in the rain
A shutter click to hide the pain
My boots are worn my coat is thin
I want to let the evening in
Silver kettle steam in the air
Rocking chair and a wooden stair
Golden light on the kitchen floor
I can't stay away from that door
The dial is set to sixty four
I'm knocking on the heavy door
The porch is cold the night is black
I'm finally on the long way back
Flash bulb pops in a sudden white
Turning off the heavy night
Warmth is hitting my frozen skin
Let the better days begin
The tea is brewing in the pot
The only place I've got a spot
A steady beat a rhythmic sway
The grey of winter melts away
Silver kettle steam in the air
Rocking chair and a wooden stair
Golden light on the kitchen floor
I can't stay away from that door
I put my camera on the shelf
I'm finding pieces of myself
The steam is rising high and slow
I've got nowhere left to go
Silver kettle steam in the air
Rocking chair and a wooden stair
Golden light on the kitchen floor
I can't stay away from that door
The kitchen floor
The open door
Just let it be
Just let me be
