Tied With Red String
Style: Bluegrass romp

[Verse 1]
I packed this box up tight for you
Flour dust still on my hands
Tied the string in a double knot
So nothing loose ever lands

[Chorus]
Alan, Alan, cut the string
Pull the bow, let it fall
This whole day belongs to you
Alan, best of them all

[Verse 2]
I hid this box for a week
Behind the coats in the hall
Couldn't wait to see your face
When you finally heard it call

[Pre-chorus]
Now the candles won't stay lit
We keep singing anyway
There's a box still in your hands

[Chorus]
Alan, Alan, cut the string
Pull the bow, let it fall
This whole day belongs to you
Alan, best of them all

[Bridge]
Every knot I tied was love
Every fold was mine to give
Whatever's waiting when it's loose
Is just a shadow of how we live

[Chorus]
Alan, Alan, cut the string
Pull the bow, let it fall
This whole day belongs to you
Alan, best of them all

[Outro]
Flour still stuck to the tape
Happy birthday, Alan, today
