Seven Down is Love

[Intro]
[Verse]
The kettle sings a tired tune
Across the lazy afternoon
You burnt the toast again today
I wouldn’t have it any way
The kitchen floor is worn and bare
But there is magic in the air
[Verse]
The jam jar has a sticky lid
Just like the day we hid
From all the noise of city streets
And found a life of simple treats
You pass the spoon, I take a sip
A little smile upon your lip
[Chorus]
It’s not a grand and sweeping play
Just how we pass the time of day
A little swing, a little sway
Within this sunlit F-major display
The years are etched upon your face
With such a slow and steady grace
[Hook]
Oh, pass the jam
I know who I am
Just a partner in the slow
Watching all the hours go
[Verse]
The crossword puzzle’s nearly done
We’re laughing at the setting sun
You missed a clue at seven down
I wear your sweater like a gown
Five letters for a constant heart
We knew the answer from the start
[Chorus]
It’s not a grand and sweeping play
Just how we pass the time of day
A little swing, a little sway
Within this sunlit F-major display
The years are etched upon your face
With such a slow and steady grace
[Bridge]
The baritone is humming low
The flugelhorn begins to glow
We don't need the bright marquee
Just you sitting next to me
Softly swung and perfectly
In this domestic symphony
[Solo]
[Chorus]
It’s not a grand and sweeping play
Just how we pass the time of day
A little swing, a little sway
Within this sunlit F-major display
The years are etched upon your face
With such a slow and steady grace
[Post-Chorus]
Seven down is love
Sent from up above
Burnt beans in the pot
Everything we’ve got
[Outro]
