Kettle Song
Style: Country waltz

[Verse 1]
The kettle starts its slow hiss now
Dishes sit and wait somehow
You're across the room from me
I watch you and my chest slows down

[Pre-chorus]
I don't need the words tonight
Just this kitchen, just this light
Just you turning, about to see

[Chorus]
Rita, you're the warm in this small house
Nothing loud, no need to shout
You could be a hundred miles
And still be closer than the rest, no doubt

[Verse 2]
Steam climbs up and finds the window
You laugh at something, quiet, low
I forget what I was doing
Just to watch your face still glow

[Pre-chorus]
I don't need the words tonight
Just this kitchen, just this light
Just you turning, about to see

[Chorus]
Rita, you're the warm in this small house
Nothing loud, no need to shout
You could be a hundred miles
And still be closer than the rest, no doubt

[Bridge]
Some loves come in with all their noise
Ours just sits here, holds its poise
Still the kettle, still your hand near mine
Still enough to make me choose you twice

[Chorus]
Rita, you're the warm in this small house
Nothing loud, no need to shout
You could be a hundred miles
And still be closer than the rest, no doubt

[Outro]
The kettle's quiet now, gone still
You're still the warmest thing I feel
