Bulbs for Beatrice
Style: Bluegrass romp

[Verse 1]
Long grass pressed flat by the chairs
Where we all leaned in to see you
Somebody strung up those coloured wires
Just to hang a little light on you

[Pre-chorus]
Every year we say the same thing
Every year we mean it more
So fill your glass, we're just beginning

[Chorus]
Here's to you, Beatrice, loud and clear
Grass gone flat but we don't mind
Every light strung up out here
Was only ever hung for Beatrice's kind

[Verse 2]
You laugh and the whole yard turns
Somebody spills their drink again
We forget the things the world confirms
When you're the one who lights the den

[Bridge]
Let the chairs stay out till morning
Let the bulbs burn low and warm
Nobody here needs any warning
You were always worth the storm

[Chorus]
Here's to you, Beatrice, loud and clear
Grass gone flat but we don't mind
Every light strung up out here
Was only ever hung for Beatrice's kind

[Outro]
The grass will spring back up by morning
But you'll still be the light worth burning
