[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]
