[Verse 1] Grandma's spoon by the stove Your boots by the door Dust on the window glass Like it always was before We split one peach in half On the splintered porch plank You laughed with your mouth full And I never said thanks [Pre-Chorus] The night came slow Off the creek and corn You reached for my hand Like it had been there before [Chorus] Keep the salt on the table Keep the chair by the flame Keep your hand in my hand Say my name, say my name Keep the salt on the table And the small things stay gold If this is all we get Then I already know [Verse 2] Sunday shirt on the line Bare feet in the grass Your letters in a blue tin From a summer gone past We fixed that broke fence With a wire and a prayer You hummed through the storm Like you didn't care [Pre-Chorus] The sky went black But your eyes stayed bright You leaned on my shoulder And it felt like right [Chorus] Keep the salt on the table Keep the chair by the flame Keep your hand in my hand Say my name, say my name Keep the salt on the table And the small things stay gold If this is all we get Then I already know [Bridge] Now the house is quieter The floorboards still know Where we danced in the kitchen In the soft radio glow Time may take the edges And the paint may fade But your little old love Still knows the way [Chorus] Keep the salt on the table Keep the chair by the flame Keep your hand in my hand Say my name, say my name Keep the salt on the table And the small things stay gold If this is all we get Then I already know [Outro] Salt on the table Your hand in my hand Simple life, simple love I understand
