Light the Match, Alys
Style: Brass band

[Verse 1]
Three pints stand up on the table
Sticky wood beneath our hands
One match left to strike the moment
You're the reason here we stand

[Chorus]
Alys, light the room up like a palace
Raise a glass and raise it twice
Nobody here could call you callous
You're the warmest thing in our lives

[Verse 2]
Empty glasses, one more round then
Somebody grabs the box to strike
Every year we say the same thing
Nobody quite like you in sight

[Pre-chorus]
Something in this table's laughter
Something in the way we grin
Feels like it's been building to this

[Chorus]
Alys, light the room up like a palace
Raise a glass and raise it twice
Nobody here could call you callous
You're the warmest thing in our lives

[Bridge]
No malice ever crossed your mind
Just open hands and open doors
We'd cross a room to find you, Alys
You're the one that we show up for

[Chorus]
Alys, light the room up like a palace
Raise a glass and raise it twice
Nobody here could call you callous
You're the warmest thing in our lives

[Outro]
Three glasses empty on the table
Still we're glad we struck that light
