Remember That Homemade Bread

Описание: Lyrics
Verse 1
Growing up down in Newfoundland,
There was one thing you could understand,
Sunday came with a faithful tread,
Plates piled high and the bread was spread.
Morning light through the kitchen pane,
Flour on hands, on apron and name,
Thirteen loaves on the counter lay,
Rising slow for the Lord’s own day.
Chorus
Oh remember that homemade bread,
Warm and white with a crust of brown and red,
Butter melting, molasses spread,
If you know, you know what I said.
From the oven to the heart it led,
Oh remember that homemade bread.
Verse 2
The oven hummed like a quiet song,
Said “be patient now, won’t be long,”
Butter softened, waiting its turn,
Molasses dark with a slow sweet burn.
Sunday dinner came and went,
Plates cleared clean, every hunger spent,
But we all knew before night’s end,
There was one more gift we’d attend.
Chorus
Oh remember that homemade bread,
Warm and white with a crust of brown and red,
Butter melting, molasses spread,
If you know, you know what I said.
From the oven to the heart it led,
Oh remember that homemade bread.
Verse 3
Out they came in a shining row,
Steam like breath in a winter blow,
Set on the rack to cool just right
Well, most of them did, but not that night.
One loaf never made it far,
Broke apart while it still was warm,
Butter laid on thick and fast,
Molasses poured like memories past.
Chorus
Oh remember that homemade bread,
Warm and white with a crust of brown and red,
Butter melting, molasses spread,
If you know, you know what I said.
From the oven to the heart it led,
Oh remember that homemade bread.
Verse 4
Years rolled on like the turning tide,
Life took me far from the island side,
But one sweet smell can pull me home,
Cross every mile I’ve ever roamed.
Back to the table, back to then,
Flour-dusted hands and kitchen din,
Sunday night, the world felt right,
Warm and safe in that soft bread light.
Final Chorus
Oh remember that homemade bread,
Warm and white with a crust of brown and red,
Butter melting, molasses spread,
If you know, you know what I said.
From the island to the words I’ve said,
Oh remember that homemade bread.
Outro
If you know, you know
that’s enough said.
