A Place at This Table

[Verse 1]
You left your blue cup by the kitchen door
The rain came in, we laughed and mopped the floor
Your old coat hangs where the warm winds pass
And morning finds us talking over tea in glass

[Pre-Chorus]
When the road gets rough and the day runs long
We make a little room, we keep each other strong

[Chorus]
Come sit beside me, let the worries rest
A simple meal, a hand upon your chest
If the clouds roll in, we’ll share what we can
There’s a place at this table, there’s a place in this plan

[Verse 2]
The neighbor’s radio drifts across the lane
A child draws a boat in the dust after rain
We mend the screen and we plant the beans
Small hopes growing up between the seams

[Pre-Chorus]
When the road gets rough and the day runs long
We make a little room, we keep each other strong

[Chorus]
Come sit beside me, let the worries rest
A simple meal, a hand upon your chest
If the clouds roll in, we’ll share what we can
There’s a place at this table, there’s a place in this plan

[Bridge]
No one has to carry every load alone
A little kindness can make a house a home
So bring your tired feet in from the street
There’s enough for one more, there’s enough to eat

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Come sit beside me, let the worries rest
A simple meal, a hand upon your chest
If the clouds roll in, we’ll share what we can
There’s a place at this table, there’s a place in this plan

[Outro]
There’s a place at this table
There’s a place in this plan
