Lyrics
I carried up a blanket I carried up a cup The roof is cold and quiet And the sun is coming up The streets are still asleep The sky is turning pink I do not need to say a word I only need to think Kettle on the rooftop Blue sky coming slow Kettle on the rooftop Nowhere else to go Warm hands on a cup Morning on my face Kettle on the rooftop This is my own place A pigeon walks beside me He does not make a sound The chimney smoke is rising And the morning wraps around I hear a door downstairs I hear a car that starts The city wakes up slowly And it warms up all my heart Kettle on the rooftop Blue sky coming slow Kettle on the rooftop Nowhere else to go Warm hands on a cup Morning on my face Kettle on the rooftop This is my own place Stay a little longer Stay a little while The day can come without me For another mile The sun is on the water tank The sun is on my shoes I pour another cup of tea I have no news to lose The light comes down the stairwell And I carry it back in I will come up here tomorrow And I will start again Kettle on the rooftop Blue sky coming slow Kettle on the rooftop Nowhere else to go Warm hands on a cup Morning on my face Kettle on the rooftop This is my own place
