Warm as a Blanket
Style: Brass band

[Verse 1]
A green wool blanket on a bench
waits there folded, come what may
you're the warmth that never quits
the reason we all showed up today

[Pre-chorus]
We could sit out in the cold
but we don't need to, not with you
so let the horns come in and hold

[Chorus]
Elis, raise your glass up high
you're the solace in this place
no bad weather, no sharp goodbye
just Elis with that grinning face

[Verse 2]
Somebody folded it just right
corners square, and tucked in tight
that's how you leave every room
a little steadier, a little bright

[Pre-chorus]
We could sit out in the cold
but we don't need to, not with you
so let the horns come in and hold

[Chorus]
Elis, raise your glass up high
you're the solace in this place
no bad weather, no sharp goodbye
just Elis with that grinning face

[Bridge]
Every year gets stitched in wool
softer now, but never dull
however far this year has spun
you brought us back to where we're from

[Chorus]
Elis, raise your glass up high
you're the solace in this place
no bad weather, no sharp goodbye
just Elis with that grinning face

[Outro]
Leave the blanket on the bench
you're the warmth we won't let go
