Blanche, Raise a Glass
Style: Brass band

[Verse 1]
Boots gathered by the green shed door
Spade leant easy on the fence
You've worked this ground and given more
You never counted the expense

[Pre-chorus]
Every year you plant it deeper
Every year the roots hold true
So let the horns come in and greet her

[Chorus]
Blanche, the whole room's calling your name
Here's to you, one more year, one more chance
Nobody lights a room the same
Come on Blanche, give us a dance

[Verse 2]
You keep the gate from swinging wide
Steady hand on everything you tend
We've watched you turn the tide
We've felt you standing like a friend

[Bridge]
However far the day has run
However hard the wind may blow
You're the one we lean upon
You're the one we're glad to know

[Chorus]
Blanche, the whole room's calling your name
Here's to you, one more year, one more chance
Nobody lights a room the same
Come on Blanche, give us a dance

[Outro]
Boots still waiting by the door
We'll walk with you, we'll ask for more
