The Trumpet Vine |
The trumpet vine grew in the kitchen window |
And bloomed bright orange on the wall |
You sat in the morning light, holding a guitar |
As the first summer rain began to fall |
Like the gentle raindrops your words fell in the air |
Making things so clear as we quietly sat there |
It reminded me of other times you had come before |
And brought a song or just walked in through the kitchen door |
Now, it seems the truest words I ever heard from you |
Were said at kitchen tables we have known |
'Cause somehow in that warm room with coffee on the stove |
Our hearts were really most at home |
Sittin' at a table, lookin' hard at you |
Catchin' up on stories of the things we’d tried to do |
And it seems we really said the most when we didn’t talk at all |
Let the songs speak for us like the sunlight on the wall |
Now, as we come and go in sunshine and in rain |
Some years are seen more clearly than the rest |
And if it weren’t for kitchen songs and mornings spent with friends |
We all might lose the things we love the best |
I can see you sittin' there beneath the trumpet vine |
The sunlight through the window in the kitchen in my mind |
You came when you were needed, I could not ask for more |
Than to turn and find you walkin' through the kitchen door |
You came when you were needed, I could not ask for more |
Than to turn and find you walkin' through the kitchen door |
