Tom: A
A D
The trumpet vine grew in the kitchen window
E A
And bloomed bright orange on the wall
A D
You sat in the morning light, holding A guitar
E A
As the first summer rain began to fall
D A
And like the gentle raindrops your words fell in the air
D A E
Making things so clear as we quietly sat there
A Bm
It reminded me of other times you had come before
E7 A
And brought A song or just walked in through the kitchen door
A D
Now it seems the truest words I ever heard from you
E A
Were said at kitchen tables we have known
A D
'cause somehow in that warm room, with coffee on the stove
E A
Our hearts were really most at home
D A
Sitting at A table looking hard at you
D A E
Catching up on stories of the things we'd tried to do
A Bm
It seems we really said the most when we didn't talk at all
E7 A
Let the songs speak for us like the sunlight on the wall.
A D
Now as we come and go, in sunshine and in rain
E A
Some years are seen more clearly than the rest
A D
And if it weren't for kitchen songs and mornings spent with friends
E A
We all might lose the things we love the best
D A
I can see you sitting there beneath the trumpet vine
D A E
The sunlight through the window in the kitchen in my mind.
A Bm
You came when you were needed, I could not ask for more
E7 D
Than to turn to find you walking through the kitchen door.
