Silver kettle on the black stove
Hiding in this quiet cove
White wings resting on a pine beam
Floating in a heavy steam
Hold the breath and hold the light
Stay together through the night
Golden eyes and copper tea
Finally you are here with me
Clock is ticking on the cream wall
Yellow light begins to fall
Softest down against the cold glass
Watching every second pass
Hold the breath and hold the light
Stay together through the night
Golden eyes and copper tea
Finally you are here with me
Bread is toasted in the pan now
Softly as a summer fan blow
You are still as any stone wall
Waiting for the rain to fall
Hold the breath and hold the light
Stay together through the night
Golden eyes and copper tea
Finally you are here with me
Copper heat and iron grey
Wash the winter far away
Open wide the kitchen door
I don't need a reason more
Tea is pouring in a blue cup
Looking as the sun wakes up
Feathers shaking in the morning
Without any kind of warning
Hold the breath and hold the light
Stay together through the night
Golden eyes and copper tea
Finally you are here with me
Wait for the whistle to blow
Wait for the water to glow
Just you and me
Just you and me
