Lyrics
Three in the morning The house is asleep I'm down in the kitchen In socks, in the deep The fridge hums a low note The clock ticks along I pour a little milk And I hum a small song Three in the morning, kitchen light Nobody needs me to be right Just a warm cup and a quiet chair And the sleeping town out there Three in the morning, kitchen light Everything's gentle tonight The worries were loud When I lay in my bed Down here in the glow They are quiet instead Three in the morning, kitchen light Nobody needs me to be right Just a warm cup and a quiet chair And the sleeping town out there Three in the morning, kitchen light Everything's gentle tonight A car passes slowly A cat on the sill The whole world is breathing And I'm breathing still Three in the morning, kitchen light Nobody needs me to be right Just a warm cup and a quiet chair And the sleeping town out there Three in the morning, kitchen light Everything's gentle tonight Kitchen light Goodnight
