Cedar and Stamp

[Intro]
[Verse]
Flip the sign to closed
Wash the counter rows
Apron on the hook
Give the room a look
Rain smears on the glass
Watch the minutes pass
Steam has left the air
Pull up a wooden chair
[Verse]
Found it in the drawer
Near the cellar door
Postcard from the coast
One I value most
Three years since the move
Nothing left to prove
Coffee ring on the edge
Resting on the ledge
[Pre-Chorus]
Streetlights glow in gold
Stories left untold
Ink is getting light
In the quiet of the night
[Chorus]
You said we’d meet again
My oldest, truest friend
Across the miles of blue
I’m still here for you
Just a stamp and a line
Waiting on a sign
The coffee’s getting cold
But hope is taking hold
[Post-Chorus]
Taking hold
Taking hold
In the gold
In the gold
[Interlude]
[Verse]
Your cursive loops so wide
Nowhere left to hide
You wrote about the rain
And missing every train
I remember how we’d talk
On that dusty river walk
Now I’m locking up the door
Wanting something more
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows on the floor
Walking through the door
I can feel the change
Everything feels strange
[Chorus]
You said we’d meet again
My oldest, truest friend
Across the miles of blue
I’m still here for you
Just a stamp and a line
Waiting on a sign
The coffee’s getting cold
But hope is taking hold
[Bridge]
Viola starts to swell
Secrets I won’t tell
Travis picking slow
Nowhere else to go
The piano keys are felt
Watch the silence melt
I’ll see you in the spring
When the telephones ring
[Chorus]
You said we’d meet again
My oldest, truest friend
Across the miles of blue
I’m still here for you
Just a stamp and a line
Waiting on a sign
The coffee’s getting cold
But hope is taking hold
[Post-Chorus]
Taking hold
Taking hold
In the gold
In the gold
[Outro]
