Silver on the Wire
Style: Barbershop

[Verse 1]
Sweet wrappers caught upon the wire
silver catching morning light
you left your mark on ordinary things
you made the dull old gate shine bright

[Pre-chorus]
Every year you leave that spark
on gates and days and rooms and hearts
so let the candles catch the same old shine

[Chorus]
Delilah, light up this whole place
happy birthday, hear us sing
you turn the plainest afternoon
into a golden thing

[Verse 2]
Years have passed since that old gate
but you still glitter just the same
you turned up grey and gave it colour
you gave the ordinary a name

[Chorus]
Delilah, light up this whole place
happy birthday, hear us sing
you turn the plainest afternoon
into a golden thing

[Bridge]
Not a crown, not a tiara needed
you were never one for show
just a glint that catches everybody
wherever you happen to go

[Chorus]
Delilah, light up this whole place
happy birthday, hear us sing
you turn the plainest afternoon
into a golden thing

[Outro]
Somewhere silver's caught on wire
still shining because of you
