Linen and Lilac

[Intro]
[Verse]
Frayed at the cuff
Old linen and love
Smells like lilac dust
In Grandma I trust
Buttons made of bone
A feeling like home
I wear it all alone
Walking down the lane
In the soft silver rain
[Pre-Chorus]
The hem is coming loose
But I got no excuse
To let the memories fade
In the light and the shade
[Chorus]
It’s a threadbare grace
In this quiet place
Wrapped in soft D major
A gentle life wager
Holding all the small joys
Beyond all the noise
Yeah, it’s a linen sky
Keeping my spirit high
[Post-Chorus]
Linen and lilac
No turning back
Linen and lilac
Keeping on track
[Verse]
Drizzle on the glass
Watching minutes pass
Sudsy water spins
Where the healing begins
A stranger shares a smile
Stay for a little while
Quarters in the slot
Giving all I got
[Pre-Chorus]
The dryer hums a tune
Under a Tuesday moon
I feel the fabric glow
More than you could know
[Chorus]
It’s a threadbare grace
In this quiet place
Wrapped in soft D major
A gentle life wager
Holding all the small joys
Beyond all the noise
Yeah, it’s a linen sky
Keeping my spirit high
[Bridge]
Oat latte in my hand
Trying to understand
How a simple woven stitch
Makes a poor girl rich
Every wrinkle tells a tale
Through the wind and the gale
Decades in the seams
Stitching up my dreams
[Hook]
Just a little bit of linen
New beginnings keep spinnin’
Small town, big heart
That’s where the stories start
[Chorus]
It’s a threadbare grace
In this quiet place
Wrapped in soft D major
A gentle life wager
Holding all the small joys
Beyond all the noise
Yeah, it’s a linen sky
Keeping my spirit high
[Post-Chorus]
Linen and lilac
No turning back
Linen and lilac
Keeping on track
[Outro]
