Lyric

The morning after I've been down and feeling low

I follow the steps I always know

With gentle hands that move on, precise and slow

No need to think

They simply go

While it baked on the plate, I heard the rain

I closed my eyes, drifting off, and thought of you again and again

And I caught the scent as it gently came

I flipped it over calm and plain and wait

Your voice on the phone, steady and gentle, flowing on

I placed the phone on the countertop

As I stir the batter, the warmth fills the air

Your words in my ear, though I’m not quite there

The swirling vanilla flavor

With your tenderness, grows sweeter

You make my heart grow much warmer and deeper

Before I knew it, a smile stretched wider

Your simple words always cheer me up

Unrefined love softly soothes me

While it baked on the plate, I heard the rain

I closed my eyes, drifting off, and thought of you again and again

And I caught the scent as it gently came

I flipped it over calm and plain and wait

The morning after I felt your gentle love

I tried some steps I’d never known

With gentle hands that move on, precise and slow

No need to think

They simply go
