Cold coffee in a plastic cup
The morning sun is waking up
I flip the grill and scrub the floor
While strangers walk through that open door
Golden light on a broken blade
In the glow where the memories fade
Rest your head by the amber tree
Just a moment for you and me
You look tired in your heavy mail
Your armor thin and your spirit frail
I'll pour a brew and I'll fry some eggs
While you stretch out those shaking legs
Golden light on a broken blade
In the glow where the memories fade
Rest your head by the amber tree
Just a moment for you and me
The giant root is a glowing wall
I watch the golden petals fall
You tell me tales of a frozen peak
While the grease on my apron is sleek
Golden light on a broken blade
In the glow where the memories fade
Rest your head by the amber tree
Just a moment for you and me
Steel on stone makes a ringing sound
We are strangers on this hallowed ground
The fire pops and the coffee steams
Waking up from the heaviest dreams
Check the oil and I wipe the plate
We both know it is getting late
Take a breath and you stand up tall
Before you head for the castle wall
Golden light on a broken blade
In the glow where the memories fade
Rest your head by the amber tree
Just a moment for you and me
Keep the change, kid.
Good luck out there.
