Lyrics

[Intro]
[Verse]
Cardboard boxes on the floor
Tape across the kitchen door
Stacking up the heavy years
Wiping back the salty tears
Found a tin behind the tea
Waiting there just for me
Old wood floors begin to creak
Kiss of dust upon my cheek
[Pre-Chorus]
Flour smudges on the page
Yellowed by a gentle age
Photo strips of summer sun
Before the city life begun
I see her smile in every line
Everything was once so fine
[Chorus]
Peach cobbler in the air
Rocking in that wooden chair
Fireflies against the screen
Best life I have ever seen
It’s a quiet kind of grace
Found it in this dusty place
Ordinary miracles are true
I’m bringing back the light for you
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, the sugar and the spice
Doesn't need a second price
Just a little bit of soul
Finally I’m feeling whole
[Verse]
Neon lights and crowded streets
Bitter coffee, tasteless treats
I was chasing hollow dreams
Ripping at the golden seams
Now I smell the cinnamon
Let the healing just begin
Handwriting I know so well
Casting such a holy spell
[Pre-Chorus]
Blueberry stains and butter cream
Wake me from this city dream
I can see the neon sign
“Grandma’s Diner” looking fine
It’s time to turn the rusted key
To the girl I used to be
[Chorus]
Peach cobbler in the air
Rocking in that wooden chair
Fireflies against the screen
Best life I have ever seen
It’s a quiet kind of grace
Found it in this dusty place
Ordinary miracles are true
I’m bringing back the light for you
[Bridge]
Paint the walls a robin’s egg
No more need to plead or beg
Open up the heavy blind
Leave the city noise behind
Flour on my apron strings
These are all the better things
The recipe for coming home
No more reason left to roam
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Peach cobbler in the air
Rocking in that wooden chair
Fireflies against the screen
Best life I have ever seen
It’s a quiet kind of grace
Found it in this dusty place
Ordinary miracles are true
I’m bringing back the light for you
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, the sugar and the spice
Doesn't need a second price
Just a little bit of soul
Finally I’m feeling whole
[Breakdown]
Table for two
By the window view
Passing it down
To this little town
[Outro]
