歌詞

The kettle's humming on the stove

And the ceylon's in the pot

I warm the pot the way she did

Who taught me how to pour

And spoon the leaves in, dark and bright

One for me, one more

The steam goes up to meet the rain

That's running down the pane

Let it steep, let it steep

Let the amber bloom

My cup runs over, full and warm

Inside this rainy room

The little lamb has come to sit

Beside the kitchen door

It sniffs the copper-colored steam

And settles on the floor

Three minutes by the rainy clock

Then carry it to the glass

Let it steep, let it steep

Let the amber bloom

My cup runs over, full and warm

Inside this rainy room

You set a table, fill a cup

Till it is running over

The psalm was written in a field

And fits a rainy cover

Mmm... mmm... mmm

Let it steep, let it steep

Let the amber bloom

My cup runs over, full and warm

Inside this rainy room

Let it steep, let it steep

Let the amber bloom

My cup runs over, full and warm

Inside this rainy room

The kettle's quiet on the stove

And the ceylon's at the glass
