Red Jewel Memories

[Chorus] Sweet red jewels on my sleeve A taste of home I can believe This small town sun, it makes me grin Didn't know where I fit in Till this moment, soft and slow Where the sweetest memories grow [Verse] Dust motes dance in amber light On the floorboards, warm and bright Orange cat sleeps on the sill Time itself seems to stand still Old photos spread across my knee Flipping through what used to be [Pre-Chorus] A gentle breeze, a whispered sigh White shirts flutter, passing by On the clothesline, clean and white Bathed in afternoon sunlight I thought I’d left this all behind Lost somewhere in my mind [Chorus] Sweet red jewels on my sleeve A taste of home I can believe This small town sun, it makes me grin Didn't know where I fit in Till this moment, soft and slow Where the sweetest memories grow [Verse] A knock, a smile, a simple gift Fresh picked berries, a gentle lift Offered up with neighborly grace Finds its way to this quiet place I take one bite, the juice runs free Overwhelms the soul of me [Pre-Chorus] A sudden warmth, a childish glee Something buried deep in me Wakes with this flavor, pure and true Everything feels fresh and new I thought this feeling was long gone Lost before the break of dawn [Chorus] Sweet red jewels on my sleeve A taste of home I can believe This small town sun, it makes me grin Didn't know where I fit in Till this moment, soft and slow Where the sweetest memories grow [Bridge] Faded pictures, faces dear Whispering tales from yesteryear This small bench, this open door I don't need to search anymore The path I walked, it led me here Chasing shadows, filled with fear But this single taste, so sweet and deep Promises I longed to keep [Chorus] Sweet red jewels on my sleeve A taste of home I can believe This small town sun, it makes me grin Didn't know where I fit in Till this moment, soft and slow Where the sweetest memories grow
