Croissant Light

[Verse 1] The blinds give in to a softer shade The kettle hums before the coffee's made Flour still clinging to a wooden board A paper bag left open on the door [Pre-Chorus] And I can smell the morning from the stair A butter curl dissolving into air [Chorus] Croissant light, croissant light Paper-warm and golden in the early sky Croissant light, croissant light Pull the curtains open, let the day go by [Verse 2] A small bell chimes behind the bakery pane Two strangers smile and trade the morning rain The baker lifts a tray with steady hands And dust falls quiet on the marketplace stands [Pre-Chorus] I hold a cup that hasn't cooled yet The city stirs, but I am not there yet [Chorus] Croissant light, croissant light Paper-warm and golden in the early sky Croissant light, croissant light Pull the curtains open, let the day go by [Instrumental Solo] [Bridge] Crackle of a crust that yields too soon A jam-stained thumb beneath a silver spoon The tram rolls past a street of open doors A thousand quiet mornings, none of yours [Chorus] Croissant light, croissant light Paper-warm and golden in the early sky Croissant light, croissant light Pull the curtains open, let the day go by [Outro] So pour the second cup and let it stay The morning smells like someone asked to stay
