Yellow Light for Carol
Style: Indie folk

[Verse 1]
Smoke curls up past the yellow light
Crates stacked high, glasses catching bright
You laugh loud and the whole room turns
That's the kind of warmth that burns

[Chorus]
Carol, Carol, light the room again
Nobody leaves the way they came in
You make the ordinary feel like gold
Carol, we're glad that you're getting old

[Verse 2]
Someone tips the ashtray, spills it wide
Nobody cares, you're by our side
We stack the empties, pour some more
Every year you're worth toasting for

[Pre-chorus]
We've counted candles, lost the count
Doesn't matter, love's the amount
Raise it up now, here it comes

[Chorus]
Carol, Carol, light the room again
Nobody leaves the way they came in
You make the ordinary feel like gold
Carol, we're glad that you're getting old

[Bridge]
Under lights that hum and flare
We're better simply because you're there
Every year adds to the tale

[Chorus]
Carol, Carol, light the room again
Nobody leaves the way they came in
You make the ordinary feel like gold
Carol, we're glad that you're getting old

[Outro]
Smoke still curling, light still low
You're the reason we don't want to go
