One Hundred Paces — A Tribute to Wife & Husband Cafe

Описание: One Hundred Paces

(Verse 1)
It sparked with a flicker and a handful of beans
In a kitchen of shadows and quietest dreams
The first date was fire—roasting seeds in the night
Turning raw green to velvet by the stove’s amber light
They curated history in the cracked and the worn
Before the first pour or the concept was born
Kyoichi and Ikumi: two hearts in a blend
Where the work of the partner is the soul of the friend.

(Chorus) (Add Cello Accompaniment)
One hundred paces to the Kamo’s edge
A promise of peace on a weathered ledge
A "living museum" in a closet of wood
Where the bitter and the sweet are both understood
Antique and aroma—the inseparable pair
Wife and Husband are waiting there.

(Verse 2)
An old oden shop wearing memories for paint
Where the rush of the city grows distant and faint
With bicycles hanging and clocks standing still
Blue cheese and honey for a Kyoto chill
Pack up the wicker for the riverbank grass
With a stool and a thermos as the bicyclists pass
A curated moment, a vintage-mat stay
The art of the world in a slow-drip bouquet.

(Chorus) (Add Cello Accompaniment)
One hundred paces to the Kamo’s edge
A promise of peace on a weathered ledge
A "living museum" in a closet of wood
Where the bitter and the sweet are both understood
Antique and aroma—the inseparable pair
Wife and Husband are waiting there.

(Verse 3)
Now the family tree has a wide place to grow
Where the Daughter roasts deep and the Son starts to show
From the heat of the drum to the gallery’s light
The lineage shines in the copper and white
From the bean to the basket, the soul of the room
The legacy flowers in a Kyoto bloom
A story of four in a ten-foot space
The warmth of a home in a stranger’s face.

(Add Instrumental Solo with Cello Accompaniment)

(Bridge)
To the seekers, the drifters, the ones passing through
There’s a stool in the corner, a cup kept for you
Step over the threshold, let the clock lose its gears
And taste what they’ve polished for all of these years.

(Final Chorus) (Add Cello Accompaniment)
One hundred paces to the Kamo’s edge
A promise of peace on a weathered ledge
A "living museum" in a closet of wood
Where the bitter and the sweet are both understood
Antique and aroma—the inseparable pair
Wife and Husband are waiting there.

(Outro)
Just one hundred paces...
A family’s love...
In every cup, a gift from above.
From the heart to the hand, the perfect pour—
The less you seek, the more you find in store.
