My guitar and a cup of tea

Intro

Verse 1

The rain is tapping on the window pane

The morning washes down the gravel lane

The world outside is moving much too fast

But in this room the shadows learn to last

A quiet morning in the early grey

With nothing special left for me to say

Chorus

Just me and my guitar and a cup of tea

The simple things that set my spirit free

The steam is rising from the porcelain white

The wooden chords will carry me to night

No need for riches, no need for fame

Just watching winter whisper out your name

Verse 2

The silver strings are cold beneath my hand

They play a tune I slowly understand

The porcelain is warm against my palm

The quiet house is settling in a calm

A velvet curtain drawn against the street

Where old memories and new days meet

Chorus

Just me and my guitar and a cup of tea

The simple things that set my spirit free

The steam is rising from the porcelain white

The wooden chords will carry me to night

No need for riches, no need for fame

Just watching winter whisper out your name

Bridge

The leaf is falling from the willow tree

The amber liquid warms the heart of me

A gentle strumming till the day is done

We do not need the shadow of the sun

Chorus

Just me and my guitar and a cup of tea

The simple things that set my spirit free

The steam is rising from the porcelain white

The wooden chords will carry me to night

No need for riches, no need for fame

Just watching winter whisper out your name

Outro

Just a cup of tea

My old guitar

Where you are

Mmm

End
