Save the Sweetest Piece

[Verse 1]

You leave your blue coat on my chair

The rain has stopped; the room smells like the air

After a long day, windows open wide

I let the quiet settle by my side

[Pre-Chorus]

You say the road is yours to choose

I fold the map and keep the view

[Chorus]

Take the cakes to take by, take them warm

Wrapped in paper, safe from the storm

One for the morning, one for the ride

One for the words we kept inside

Take the cakes to take by, take them slow

There’s a little more than crumbs to go

When the miles unwind and the day turns new

Save the sweetest piece for you

[Verse 2]

The kitchen clock is losing time

A chipped white plate, a crooked line

You tuck the parcel underneath your arm

And promise me the trip will do no harm

[Pre-Chorus]

You say the road is yours to choose

I fold the map and keep the view

[Chorus]

Take the cakes to take by, take them warm

Wrapped in paper, safe from the storm

One for the morning, one for the ride

One for the words we kept inside

Take the cakes to take by, take them slow

There’s a little more than crumbs to go

When the miles unwind and the day turns new

Save the sweetest piece for you

[Bridge]

If the hills feel steep, if the miles run long

Let that small familiar flavor bring you home

I’ll keep the kettle ready by the windowpane

And leave a place for you again

[Final Chorus]

Take the cakes to take by, take them warm

Wrapped in paper, safe from the storm

One for the morning, one for the ride

One for the words we kept inside

Take the cakes to take by, take them slow

There’s a little more than crumbs to go

When the miles unwind and the day turns new

Save the sweetest piece for you

[Outro]

Save the sweetest piece for you
