[Verse 1] Coffee ring beside the keyboard Slippers slide across the floor Your little face inside the webcam I pretend I’ve dressed for more The laundry waits behind my chair A meeting starts at half past nine I mute the dog, I find a notebook And draw a sun beside the line [Pre-Chorus] The kettle sings, the inbox grows My calendar says where time goes [Chorus] Ding ding, I’m home today Tiny bells keep work away Click click, one more reply Pajama hours drifting by Ding ding, the afternoon Lunch is eaten much too soon If the doorbell rings, I’ll know It’s the highlight of the show [Verse 2] Tuesday brings a frozen window Everyone becomes a square Someone’s cat walks past the camera Someone’s child waves from a chair I take calls beside the window With a blanket on my knees At the end, I close the laptop Like releasing paper bees [Pre-Chorus] The kettle sings, the inbox grows My calendar says where time goes [Chorus] Ding ding, I’m home today Tiny bells keep work away Click click, one more reply Pajama hours drifting by Ding ding, the afternoon Lunch is eaten much too soon If the doorbell rings, I’ll know It’s the highlight of the show [Bridge] Five o’clock, the screen goes black I give my shoulders their shape back Open the curtains, water the thyme The little room turns into mine [Final Chorus] Ding ding, I’m home today Pack the busy thoughts away Click click, the last goodbye Evening gathers in the sky Ding ding, the work is through There’s a warm mug waiting too When the doorbell rings, I’ll know Time to let the whole day go [Outro] Ding ding, soft and small Home is where I work it all
