Bright Down the Canal
Style: Reggae sunshine

[Verse 1]
We sent our plates out on the water
Bright little boats past the rusted frames
Nothing round here ever looked much brighter
Than this small parade that carries your name

[Pre-chorus]
Something about you always shining through
Even the grey canal turns gold
This feeling's building, right on cue

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Camille, let the good time reveal
Every year you get harder to conceal
You light up rooms nobody could ever fulfil
We're glad we get to know you, Camille

[Verse 2]
Watch the plates go drifting past the bicycles
Nobody's rushing, nobody's in a rush
Today's the day we stop and we notice you
How much you mean, how much is too much to gush

[Bridge]
However far you travel, however long the while
We'll still be here to greet you with that smile
Blow out the candles, let the wishes distil
Another year of you, and we're not done, Camille

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Camille, let the good time reveal
Every year you get harder to conceal
You light up rooms nobody could ever fulfil
We're glad we get to know you, Camille

[Outro]
Send the plates out slow on the water
We'll watch them go, still singing your name
