Songs in the Kitchen Lyrics

You were never a burden to me

Or a thorn in my side

I have lived and I've loved a fair deal

But I've never been close

And I'd offer my hand if I thought you'd accept

And I'd claw at the ground just to make a nice bed

For you

For you

I am not in the habit of trying

But God, this was close

I have walked and I've stood on the sand

Of the Oregon Coast

With the sun on my tail and the moon on the road

All the songs in the kitchen

The talks on the couch

I've a love in my chest that I just can't get out

For you

For you

For you

For you

In their millions, I hear the birds sing

With a beat and a tune

But I think that my ears are just doing what my eyes like to do

They make the stars twinkle

And it feels like the truth

But, sometimes a lie is the kind thing to do

In the basket beneath all my clothes

You will find a good book

When you sit down, it feels like a rod with a worm on its hook

And if you shake on the bank

With the world turning black

I could not live a life without throwing you back

I could not live a life without throwing you back

I could not live my life without asking you that

I could not live my life without asking you that
