Cups on the Platform
Style: Brass band

[Verse 1]
Wind comes barrelling down the line
Paper cups shake but hold their place
You stand steady in the middle of it
Nothing rattles you, not really

[Pre-chorus]
Every year the wind gets colder
Every year you just grow bolder
So let the band come marching in

[Chorus]
Eli, Eli, light the whole platform up
Nobody pours their heart out so freely
Trains keep coming, we keep waiting
We would wait all night for Eli

[Verse 2]
Strangers huddle by the ticket line
You hand round cups like they're old friends
Somehow the whole cold morning warms up
Just because you're standing near it

[Bridge]
Blow the horns and bang the drum
Sing it till the platform shakes
This is the one day that's yours
Take every bit of what it makes

[Chorus]
Eli, Eli, light the whole platform up
Nobody pours their heart out so freely
Trains keep coming, we keep waiting
We would wait all night for Eli

[Outro]
Let the wind take the paper cups now
We are staying right here with you
