Track Insight / Lyrics
You walk the rows where apple wood stands black
Your lantern swings a steady golden track
The dough rests slow in wooden troughs tonight
Yeast breathes soft beneath the fading light
Flour and frost kiss on your weathered hands
Warmth rises slow from ovens in the land
You tend the dark like keepers tend the flame
Each loaf a promise called by winter's name
Snow dusts the bark where buds will wake in spring
Your fingers know the rhythm that you bring
Salt scattered thin on crust before the bake
Steam writes its ghost on glass for heaven's sake
Flour and frost kiss on your weathered hands
Warmth rises slow from ovens in the land
You tend the dark like keepers tend the flame
Each loaf a promise called by winter's name
The harbor light would sweep the cold blue sea
Now oven doors swing wide to set bread free
No foghorn sounds, just crust that cracks and sings
A different watch, but still the waiting brings
Branches hold the weight of silent years
Your arms hold heat that drives away the fears
One pull, one push, the paddle slides it home
You're never truly far from any foam
Village wakes to scent of rye and grain
Smoke curls up through branches carved by rain
Children press their palms to window glass
Watching till the first batch comes to pass
Flour and frost kiss on your weathered hands
Warmth rises slow from ovens in the land
You tend the dark like keepers tend the flame
Each loaf a promise called by winter's name
Dawn paints the snow with coral on the ridge
Your work done quiet on the wooden bridge
Flour dusts your coat like sea spray on the rail
Another night, another bread, another tale
Flour and frost kiss on your weathered hands
Warmth rises slow from ovens in the land
You tend the dark like keepers tend the flame
Each loaf a promise called by winter's name
Flour and frost, flour and frost, you remain
Lantern low, the oven sighs
Morning breaks on risen rise
