Track Insight / Lyrics

Cypress knees drink amber light Fireflies stitch the water tight Baker's shadow cuts the gloom Flour dust settles on my seam Sugar steam on cypress bone I've held a thousand loaves alone Praline sweet and biscuit brown Dawn breaks crust to crumbs on ground Knife scars map the family tree Lard and salt in memory Her spoon wore grooves I still can read Like hymns hummed at river speed Gator slides where children played Moss drinks up the jam she made But she returns with yeast and fire Kneading dough like choir wire Sugar steam on cypress bone I've held a thousand loaves alone Praline sweet and biscuit brown Dawn breaks crust to crumbs on ground Rot may claim my nail-head crown But tonight I hold her down Every rise and fall of breath Is a hymn that cheats the death First light gilds the skillet's curve She wipes her hands, has strength to serve I keep the warm where she began Cypress bone and baking pan Sugar steam on cypress bone I've held a thousand loaves alone Praline sweet and biscuit brown Dawn breaks crust to crumbs on ground Sugar steam on cypress bone Flour dust finds its way home
