[Verse 1] Sunlight paints a golden line Across the kitchen floor of pine It’s a quiet way to spend the day While the rest of the world (just drifts away) [Verse 2] Come on brother, take a seat Rest your shoes and tired feet We’ve got a song we’d like to share About the kindness in the air [Chorus] Sitting by the garden gate No need to hurry, no need to wait Watching the flowers grow For somewhere else to go The door is open wide (On the porch outside.) [Bridge] Yesterday was a heavy road But today we’ve dropped the load Can you hear the music play? In every word we say... [Verse 3] The evening sky is turning blue I’ll pour a glass for me and you Watching the birds fly to the nest And give the weary mind a rest [Chorus] Sitting by the garden gate No need to hurry, no need to wait Watching the flowers grow For somewhere else to go The door is open wide (On the porch outside.) [Outro] Just a simple song for a simple life Away from the noise and the strife Hand in hand (as the day turns to gold) With a story that never grows old
