歌詞

The tin on the top shelf

Has been waiting for a rainy day

Shortbread keeps like a promise does

Buttery and gold

One piece each, the rule declares —

The rain says rules can bend

It snaps in half the proper way

And shares itself with me

Bread to make the heart grow strong

The psalm knew what it said

A buttery bite on a silver day

Goes lovely with the rain

I dunk one corner in my tea

Two seconds, nothing more

The experts say that three's too long

And experts know the floor

A crumb has landed on the lamb

It wears it like a medal

Bread to make the heart grow strong

The psalm knew what it said

A buttery bite on a silver day

Goes lovely with the rain

The tin goes back a little lighter

The rain came out ahead

Some days are made for spreadsheets

And some for shortbread instead

Mmm... mmm... mmm

Bread to make the heart grow strong

The psalm knew what it said

A buttery bite on a silver day

Goes lovely with the rain

Bread to make the heart grow strong

The psalm knew what it said

A buttery bite on a silver day

Goes lovely with the rain

The tin on the top shelf

Earned its rainy day
