Porch Light and Sweet Tea

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rhodes hums a low tune
Watching the rising moon
Ice clinks in the glass
Watching the shadows pass
Sugar swirls in the jar
We’ve come so very far
[Pre-Chorus]
Years went by like a ghost
When I needed you the most
The silence grew so tall
But tonight we break the wall
[Chorus]
Sweet tea on the porch
Holding up a steady torch
Soft light in your eyes
Underneath the summer skies
No more words left to hide
Let the river turn the tide
Just a girl and her friend
Healing up until the end
[Post-Chorus]
Back where we started
Never really parted
Safe in the groove
Nothing left to prove
[Verse]
We fought about the small things
The heavy weight that pride brings
I missed your silly laugh
Walking down the gravel path
Now the air feels so still
Sitting on the window sill
[Chorus]
Sweet tea on the porch
Holding up a steady torch
Soft light in your eyes
Underneath the summer skies
No more words left to hide
Let the river turn the tide
Just a girl and her friend
Healing up until the end
[Bridge]
The Hammond starts to swell
Secrets we finally tell
I’m sorry for the distance kept
For all the tears we wept
But the bass line keeps us steady
To be whole again, I’m ready
[Verse]
Remember when we used to run?
Chasing down the morning sun?
We lost our way in the dark
Lost that little golden spark
But the tea is sweet tonight
Setting all the shadows right
You’re the sister of my soul
Making all my pieces whole
[Chorus]
Sweet tea on the porch
Holding up a steady torch
Soft light in your eyes
Underneath the summer skies
No more words left to hide
Let the river turn the tide
Just a girl and her friend
Healing up until the end
[Post-Chorus]
Back where we started
Never really parted
Safe in the groove
Nothing left to prove
[Outro]
