Tea Kettle Tea (Live from Sage Arts) (Live) ft. Abby Gundersen Lyrics

I remember when we would draw

Orca whales all over your walls

Pirouettes up and down the halls

The world was big, I was so small

On cloudy days you poured us tea

Milk and honey with chamomile

There was no sickness it couldn't heal

Or so I thought, as I sipped it with my meal

Because of you, I write my songs

You knew I had it in me all along

At some point those memories

Moved on to the hospital

At first just some, then it was all

Sterilized with alcohol

We went for walks slowly in the leaves

You talked nonsense, mind in the weeds

There were doctors, there were IVs

Then we sat silently and grieved

Because of you, I write my songs

You knew I had it in me all along

At that time I thought this just was

The way it is with the people you love

They'd come around, you'd do fun stuff,

Then they'd fly off on the wings of a dove

I still make tea kettle tea

Hoping that you'll come home to me

I dream of naps nestled in your knees

It was your love that set me free
