Bottles on the Step
Style: Indie folk

[Verse 1]
Frost on the porch, the milk bottles ring
early light comes stumbling in
somewhere a box sits waiting
and you're the reason we all sing

[Pre-chorus]
Another year comes knocking soft
the kettle's on, the table's set
we're gathering the words to say

[Chorus]
Effie, the whole street's waking up for you
clinking glass and steady morning too
nobody else could make this ordinary day feel new
Effie, we're glad it's you

[Verse 2]
You leave the porch light burning on
a small kindness nobody sees
you make the plainest morning golden
just by being who you please

[Bridge]
Blow out the candles, make it count
every year adds up to more of you
let the whole room shout it out

[Chorus]
Effie, the whole street's waking up for you
clinking glass and steady morning too
nobody else could make this ordinary day feel new
Effie, we're glad it's you

[Outro]
The bottles rattle, the box stays still
you're the warmth on this doorstep, and always will
