Pipe Bowl

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I found it in the drawer Beside a bent brass key Dark wood, thumb-smoothed rim Like it knew me Ash on the table Rain on the pane One little bowl And a long old chain [Pre-Chorus] Turn it over slow Watch the grain catch light Little circle of smoke In the quiet night [Chorus] Pipe bowl, hold me steady Pipe bowl, keep me near Pipe bowl, burn so easy Till the room goes clear Pipe bowl, hold me steady (hold me steady) Pipe bowl, keep me near (keep me near) [Verse 2] Porch step creaks at dawn Boots by the mat Your hand on my shoulder And the world goes flat Cherry stains on my thumb Sweet grit in the air We say less and less But we stay right there [Pre-Chorus] Turn it over slow Let the old wood speak Every crack and mark Got a memory deep [Chorus] Pipe bowl, hold me steady Pipe bowl, keep me near Pipe bowl, burn so easy Till the room goes clear Pipe bowl, hold me steady (hold me steady) Pipe bowl, keep me near (keep me near) [Bridge] When the house goes thin And the night gets long I need that small warm weight To help me stay strong One little ember One honest flame Nothing fancy, baby Just the same old frame [Final Chorus] Pipe bowl, hold me steady Pipe bowl, keep me near Pipe bowl, burn so easy Till the room goes clear Pipe bowl, hold me steady (hold me steady) Pipe bowl, keep me near (keep me near)
