Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Sun is dipping low behind the pine Porch swing hums a familiar line Got this cigar box on my knee Full of cards she left for me Yellowed edges and cursive blue Telling stories I always knew [Chorus] Pinch of salt and a lot of grace I can almost see your face In the kitchen light above That’s how you showed your love Nothing loud and nothing grand Just the work of a steady hand [Verse] Found the one for the chicken stew Stained with broth and a drop of dew Remember how you’d stir the pot Making sure the house stayed hot And that crinkled dollar in my tin Hidden where the bread went in [Pre-Chorus] The wind is picking up a bit I’ll stay right here and sit Watching shadows stretch and lean Thinking ‘bout the things you mean [Chorus] Pinch of salt and a lot of grace I can almost see your face In the kitchen light above That’s how you showed your love Nothing loud and nothing grand Just the work of a steady hand [Bridge] Your 'G's' all have a little swirl Like a ribbon you'd unfurl Telling me to take it slow Even when I’ve got miles to go Keep the oil inside the lamp Keep the spirit from the damp [Hook] Quiet love is the loudest kind The only peace I ever find [Verse] Hammer’s resting by the door Guess I won't fix the floor Just gonna read these recipes Let the memories do as they please Sugar cookies and sourdough Everything you wanted me to know [Chorus] Pinch of salt and a lot of grace I can almost see your face In the kitchen light above That’s how you showed your love Nothing loud and nothing grand Just the work of a steady hand [Post-Chorus] Steady hand on the wooden spoon Underneath a rising moon Folding flour and sipping wine Making sure the world felt fine [Outro]
