A Baker's Love From Afar
[00:13.72] (Verse 1) The moon is still hanging on my side of the world While the sun starts to wake where your morning unfurls I’m sifting the sugar, it looks like the dust of the stars Thinking ‘bout how lucky I am, even from this far I trace the rim of the bowl like I’m tracing your hand Two years of building a bridge across the sea and the sand.
[00:40.54] (Pre-Chorus) And they say absence makes the heart grow fonder But I think it just makes the soul grow stronger Every mile is a minute closer to your skin I’m just waiting for the moment that we finally let the light in.
[01:03.64] (Chorus) It’s a baker’s love from afar, a slow and sacred heat Folding in the memories to make the bitter taste sweet I’m keeping the pilot light burning for two In a kitchen filled with longing and the ghost of you It’s a masterpiece in motion, a love that’s aged in gold You’re the only story that I ever want told.
[01:35.79] (Verse 2) I imagine your scent in the cinnamon and clove The kind of quiet magic that only we both know I’m braiding the dough like our lives are entwined No matter the distance, you’re the constant on my mind Two years of "goodnights" whispered into the air I close my eyes and feel you standing right there.
[02:05.00] (Bridge) I don’t need a feast, I just need your touch I never knew that wanting could hurt quite this much But like a loaf in the dark, we are rising unseen In the spaces between us, in the glow of the screen And when the timer finally rings and the waiting is through I’ll spend the rest of my life just consuming you.
[02:26.00] (Chorus) It’s a baker’s love from afar, a slow and sacred heat Folding in the memories to make the bitter taste sweet I’m keeping the pilot light burning for two In a kitchen filled with longing and the ghost of you It’s a masterpiece in motion, a love that’s aged in gold You’re the only story that I ever want told.
[03:08.23] (Outro) (Slowly, almost a whisper) The flour on my apron, the love in my veins You’re the only one who breaks my chains A baker’s love... Always rising... Always yours
