Left On The Step
Style: Piano pop

[Verse 1]
A crate by the mat this morning
Nobody gave any warning
But that is how you arrive
Quiet, and keeping us alive

[Chorus]
Alison, Alison, light of this room
Every candle we lit for you bloomed
You are the one that we all count on
Happy birthday, dear Alison

[Verse 2]
You leave things where we need them
Never asking us to plead them
Small steps, concrete and grey
But you brighten every single day

[Pre-chorus]
So let the whole street hear it now
Let every voice join in somehow
Because tonight we shout it loud

[Chorus]
Alison, Alison, light of this room
Every candle we lit for you bloomed
You are the one that we all count on
Happy birthday, dear Alison

[Bridge]
No fuss, no fanfare at the door
Just you, giving a little more
That crate says more than words could say
You show up, come what may

[Chorus]
Alison, Alison, light of this room
Every candle we lit for you bloomed
You are the one that we all count on
Happy birthday, dear Alison

[Outro]
The crate is empty, the mat still there
But you filled up this whole year
