Cinnamon and Wax

[Intro]
[Verse]
Sunlight on the dusty floor
Shadows dancing by the door
Saturday is moving slow
Nowhere else I need to go
Browsing through the sleeves of blue
Then I catch a glimpse of you
[Pre-Chorus]
Sugar and the cinnamon
Where the summer breeze began
Pastéis de nata in the air
I see the sunlight in your hair
[Chorus]
It’s a quiet kind of magic
Nothing loud or even tragic
Just a rhythm in the space
Finding beauty in your face
Softly, softly we begin
Like a needle on the spin
[Hook]
Samba in the silence
Sweetest kind of guidance
[Verse]
Fingers searching for a sound
Treasures waiting to be found
I reach for the vintage sleeve
Something I can scarce believe
João Gilberto, 1958
Seems it was a twist of fate
Your hand brushes against mine
Stopping everything in time
[Bridge]
My heart skips a little beat
In this coastal summer heat
No words spoken, only eyes
Underneath the Lisbon skies
You don't pull your hand away
In this golden afternoon play
[Chorus]
It’s a quiet kind of magic
Nothing loud or even tragic
Just a rhythm in the space
Finding beauty in your face
Softly, softly we begin
Like a needle on the spin
[Post-Chorus]
O amor é assim
Close to you, close to me
O amor é assim
Just the way it’s meant to be
[Verse]
You smile with a shy grace
In this small and crowded space
I put the record in your hand
Best one in the whole land
I whisper low, a soft decree
“Would you like some coffee?”
There’s a café down the street
Where the bitter and the sweet meet
[Outro]
