Lyrics
Heard your voice on the telephone Said I'm on the road, I'm coming home I cleaned the house and I changed the sheet Put your photo on the kitchen seat Footsteps on the stair I knew you'd be there Kettle on, door open Welcome home, no words spoken Kettle on, door open Years apart but we're not broken Pull a chair and sit down Let me look at you now Kettle on, door open You're home Same old cups with the chipped blue rim Same warm bread and the same low hymn You tell me stories, I pour the tea Look how far you came to me Footsteps on the stair I knew you'd be there Kettle on, door open Welcome home, no words spoken Kettle on, door open Years apart but we're not broken Pull a chair and sit down Let me look at you now Kettle on, door open You're home Steam on the window glass Let the long years pass Sister, sister, stay a while Warm and slow, and smile Kettle on, door open Welcome home, no words spoken Kettle on, door open Years apart but we're not broken Pull a chair and sit down Let me look at you now Kettle on, door open You're home Kettle on, door open You're home
