about

My happy place! Sitting in our kitchen…welcoming family and friends. This kitchen is the heart of our home. It’s the place where we share food and wine and great coffee. Where we laugh and cry and play music and tell stories. I write most of my songs at this table in our lovely home in a small village in Central West NSW. Thank you for joining me x

lyrics

The Kitchen Table

Come on in and take a seat
At my kitchen table
Make yourself at home
Just brush the crumbs aside
We don’t stand on ceremony
It’s great to see you
Sitting in our kitchen in the morning light

I’ll make you a cup of tea
While you sit at at my table;
You can tell me all about
Your broken heart

We can cry together
Make murderous plans we’ll never act on
Sitting in my kitchen where the healing starts.


I can hear your key in the front door
I’m so glad to see you
How was your day?
I’ve cooked your favourite dinner
It’s nearly ready
When we stand in our kitchen
We can push our cares away

You’ll pour me a glass of wine
While I sit at our table
We can tell each other
About the day we’ve had

You’ve got problems with your boss
And I’m struggling with the workload
Somehow when we share it
It doesn’t seem that bad

 
Everything sounds better
Around our table
We sing songs and play guitars
While we’re sitting there
The neighbours sit outside
Under their clothesline
Sometimes they even dance
Around the sheets and underwear

I know she’s just a piece of wood
With four strong legs to hold her
She’s the keeper of our stories
When the day is done

And even though we have eight chairs
There’s only two I’d take a chance on
We always give them to our friends
And we take the wobbly ones


Come on in I’m glad you’re home
How’s Melbourne?
I’m so glad to see you my darling girl
I have made a vegan cake from all the brown bananas
Let’s just sit here in in our kitchen
And solve the problems of the world

At our kitchen table
In the sunshine
