Half a Candle Left
Style: Ukulele singalong

[Verse 1]
Three paper cups out on a bench
You laughed so loud the pigeons fled
One flame still fighting the damp
We wouldn't want you any other way

[Pre-chorus]
You never asked for much at all
Just cheap cups and a candle stub
But look how many came for you

[Chorus]
Atlas, this whole bench is yours tonight
Nobody else could hold the light
Rain on the wax but it still glows
Atlas, we're glad you came at last

[Verse 2]
You blow it out on the second try
The wick gives up in a thread of smoke
Somebody claps like you'd won a race
We wouldn't want you any other way

[Bridge]
Doesn't matter the cups don't match
Doesn't matter the bench is damp
You're the reason we're stood out here
Freezing, grinning, glad we came

[Chorus]
Atlas, this whole bench is yours tonight
Nobody else could hold the light
Rain on the wax but it still glows
Atlas, we're glad you came at last

[Outro]
Pour the last drops from the paper cups
Here's to you, Atlas, every year
