Granite Counter

[Verse 1]
The counter's worn a hollow, deep and smooth,
Each groove a story, whispering its truth.
The menu, tacked with brass tacks, still holds fast,
A sedimentary layer from the past.

[Chorus]
Oh, the coffee's dark as tidal marks on stone,
This diner's strata, stubbornly full-grown.
The same old jukebox spins its dusty plea,
A rooted comfort, here for you and me.

[Verse 2]
The steam on glass, a fleeting, foggy breath,
While outside, seasons wrestle life and death.
But through the pane, the world might shift and crack,
This humble foundation never turns its back.

[Chorus]
Oh, the coffee's dark as tidal marks on stone,
This diner's strata, stubbornly full-grown.
The same old jukebox spins its dusty plea,
A rooted comfort, here for you and me.

[Bridge]
These walls have held a thousand whispered names,
Like ancient fossils, flickering like flames.
Of quiet rebels, weathered by the tide,
Whose deepest roots, in this warm corner, hide.

[Outro]
Just the quiet hum, a timeless, gentle sound,
Where shifting solace can always be found.
