Lint and Grace

[Intro]
[Verse]
Fluorescent hum in the air
The town is sleeping out there
Shadows on the linoleum floor
Back when we slammed the door
Now the quarters just spin
Letting the quiet come in
[Chorus]
Fold the cotton, fold the time
I’ll take yours and you take mine
Everything comes out clean
In the spaces in between
Just a soft, steady heat
Making our history sweet
[Verse]
A coffee stain on your cuff
We finally had enough
You used to drive so fast
Leaving me in the past
Now you’re matching the seams
Of all our forgotten dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
The dryer spins a heavy beat
Shaking the salt from the street
I look at your tired hands
Finally I understand
[Chorus]
Fold the cotton, fold the time
I’ll take yours and you take mine
Everything comes out clean
In the spaces in between
Just a soft, steady heat
Making our history sweet
[Bridge]
I was angry at the sun
Thinking I was the only one
But you carried the heavy load
Down every gravel road
So let the water run deep
While the rest of the town is asleep
[Verse]
You reach for a faded sleeve
The kind of quiet I believe
No more words are required
We’re both just getting tired
Stacking the shirts in a row
Ready for us to go
[Chorus]
Fold the cotton, fold the time
I’ll take yours and you take mine
Everything comes out clean
In the spaces in between
Just a soft, steady heat
Making our history sweet
[Outro]
