Kitchen Blues
Bruce Robison Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sitting in the kitchen listening to the rain

Washing away my blues

I don't worry when I'm happy again

Living is it's own good news
I comb my hair like a straight A student

Step off the merry-go-round

Sitting in the kitchen listening to the rain fall down


Sitting in the kitchen, taking my time

Thinking about old friends

Are they smelling their coffee and listening to the rain

Wondering who they were back then

Dreaming of the city from a small town

Dreaming of the summer all year round

Sitting in the kitchen, what a wonderful sound


Rain erases time, each drop of water

Daughter of the sunshine

I sit here in the ground


Rain erases time, each drop of water

Daughter of the sunshine

I sit here in the ground


Well, the rain falls down and the river rolls

And the ground gets rocky again

I keep hopping on my pot of gold

Or a place I've ain't been

The rain on the tin speaks again

Of the rhythm of the world going round


Sitting in the kitchen listening to the rain fall down

Sitting in the kitchen, what a wonderful sound

Sitting in the kitchen





Whoooo
