Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Back of the shelf Found it myself Behind the white flour In the quietest hour Dust on the glass Watching years pass A handwritten date Just a little bit late [Pre-Chorus] The seal breaks slow The scent starts to grow A pop in the air Like she’s standing right there [Chorus] Sweetness and dust More than a crust A memory in red On my morning bread Stirring the pot All that she taught Keep away from the edge It’s a sacred pledge [Verse] Blue plastic stool Breaking the rule I’m standing so tall Don’t let the fruit fall Wooden spoon swirl The steam starts to curl In a pattern of eight She tells me to wait [Chorus] Sweetness and dust More than a crust A memory in red On my morning bread Stirring the pot All that she taught Keep away from the edge It’s a sacred pledge [Interlude] [Verse] Sticky gold rim The light getting dim Silver knife slide Nowhere to hide The seeds in my teeth The heart underneath The tart on my tongue When the world was young [Bridge] It’s grainy and thick The sugar will stick Tastes just like the sun Till the long day is done I’m saving the last Holding the past A teaspoon of grace In this quiet place [Chorus] Sweetness and dust More than a crust A memory in red On my morning bread Stirring the pot All that she taught Keep away from the edge It’s a sacred pledge [Post-Chorus] Just a spoonful more Of the love she made Open the door Where the memories fade [Outro]
