The Flour and the Twine

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain on the cedar roof
Tapping out a steady proof
Found the basket on the floor
Behind the heavy pantry door
Woven willow, faded blue
Smelling just like 1992
[Pre-Chorus]
A stack of cards tied in twine
Your cursive loops across the line
Ink is blurred by kitchen grease
Bringing back a moment's peace
[Chorus]
A pinch of salt, a heavy pour
I don't feel lonely anymore
The Wurlitzer hums a low refrain
While I wash away the silver rain
It's more than just a meal to share
It's how you showed me you were there
[Verse]
Copper pots begin to glow
Taking things real nice and slow
The upright bass begins to thrum
Beneath the rhythm of my thumb
Diced onions and the bay leaf scent
Exactly where the afternoon went
[Pre-Chorus]
The paper’s yellow at the edge
Sitting on the window ledge
I see your thumbprint in the flour
In this quiet, rainy hour
[Chorus]
A pinch of salt, a heavy pour
I don't feel lonely anymore
The Wurlitzer hums a low refrain
While I wash away the silver rain
It's more than just a meal to share
It's how you showed me you were there
[Bridge]
You never said "I love you" loud
You just fed the hungry crowd
Legacy in a wooden spoon
Underneath a rainy afternoon
Soft vibrato in my chest
Putting all the grief to rest
[Solo]
[Chorus]
A pinch of salt, a heavy pour
I don't feel lonely anymore
The Wurlitzer hums a low refrain
While I wash away the silver rain
It's more than just a meal to share
It's how you showed me you were there
[Post-Chorus]
Just a pinch, just a pour
Walking through an open door
Legacy in every bite
Keeping all the memories bright
Handwritten lines of golden grace
I can almost see your face
[Outro]
