Cinnamon Steam on the Kitchen Glass

Lyrics

Rain on the window, the oven is on
Grandma's apron hangs by the door
Cinnamon steam on the kitchen glass
I draw a heart like I did before

Her recipe card is soft and worn
Stained with butter and years
I read it slow, I read it twice
Through the quiet, through the tears

Every spoon she held
Every song she hummed

Cinnamon steam on the kitchen glass
The warmest room I ever knew
Cinnamon steam, the years go past
But I bake it all for you
Cinnamon steam on the kitchen glass
Her love is in the stew

I set the table for two
Out of habit, out of love
The smell of home fills up the room
And the stars come out above

Every spoon she held
Every song she hummed

Cinnamon steam on the kitchen glass
The warmest room I ever knew
Cinnamon steam, the years go past
But I bake it all for you
Cinnamon steam on the kitchen glass
Her love is in the stew

Oh, hold the warmth, hold it tight
Keep the oven light on tonight
What she taught me, I will pass
On to the ones who come to last

Cinnamon steam on the kitchen glass
The warmest room I ever knew
Cinnamon steam, the years go past
But I bake it all for you
Cinnamon steam on the kitchen glass
Her love is in the stew

Her love is in the stew
