歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] Dust motes dancing in the June light I’m twenty-eight on a quiet night Found a cedar chest beneath the eaves Sifting through the memories it weaves A tin box painted with a faded rose That’s where all the secret magic goes [Pre-Chorus] Index cards with yellowed edges Stacked like little stone-carved ledges I see your cursive start to lean In the spaces right in between [Chorus] It’s a pinch of salt and a heavy heart Tracing where the ink begins to part You left the map inside the stew A little bit of home, a lot of you Smudged with flour and a hidden tear I can taste the love from every year [Post-Chorus] Oh, the cinnamon and sage Turning back a dusty page [Verse] The apple cake from nineteen-sixty-four Notes about the rain against the door Add extra sugar if the day feels long A quiet way of staying brave and strong You never said you missed the coastal air But I find the sea-salt hidden there [Pre-Chorus] Butter stains on the bottom corner Making the cold kitchen feel warmer I read the words you didn’t speak While the faucet starts to leak [Chorus] It’s a pinch of salt and a heavy heart Tracing where the ink begins to part You left the map inside the stew A little bit of home, a lot of you Smudged with flour and a hidden tear I can taste the love from every year [Bridge] The banjo hums a low and steady line Mixing water with the elderberry wine I used to think that love was loud and grand But it’s just the way you moved your hand Folding butter in the early light Making sure the world was flavored right [Break] [Verse] The oven's warm and the kitchen's bright I’m finally getting the crust just right I’m twenty-eight but I am ten again Listening for your voice across the glen The ink is blurred where you held the pen I’ll write my own small story now and then [Chorus] It’s a pinch of salt and a heavy heart Tracing where the ink begins to part You left the map inside the stew A little bit of home, a lot of you Smudged with flour and a hidden tear I can taste the love from every year [Post-Chorus] Yeah, it's home in every bite Underneath the kitchen light [Outro]
