Locked to the Rail
Style: Barbershop

[Verse 1]
An old bike waits above the water
rusted tight but standing still
time has come and time keeps going
yet you're here and always will

[Pre-chorus]
Every year the current changes
still you hold your ground and grin
so we gather, hearts wide open

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Connie, bonny
light the candles, sing it loud
you're the one who ties us steady
Connie, Connie, we're so proud

[Verse 2]
The rail is cold, the chain is rusted
but the lock still holds it fast
just like you hold every one of us
closer with each year that's passed

[Bridge]
Green water moving, never stopping
but some things anchor, stay in place
you're the kind of steady wonder
nothing wears and nothing fades

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Connie, bonny
light the candles, sing it loud
you're the one who ties us steady
Connie, Connie, we're so proud

[Outro]
That old bike is still there waiting
just like you, we're glad you stayed
