The Door Left On The Latch
Style: Ceilidh jig

[Verse 1]
Muddy shoes stacked by the door
Under a mirror round and small
You track the whole world in with you
And light up the hallway wall

[Pre-chorus]
We hear your boots upon the step
We know that laugh before you're seen
So raise the roof and raise a glass

[Chorus]
Happy birthday to you, Eugene
Come stand where the candles gleam
You're the best thing walking in between
Happy birthday to you, Eugene

[Verse 2]
You leave your mark on every room
Never quiet, never mean
Whatever mess the day has made
You're the calm in the canteen

[Bridge]
So let the fiddle start the tune
Let every voice come find the beat
Tonight it's you we're dancing for
Tonight the whole house stamps its feet

[Chorus]
Happy birthday to you, Eugene
Come stand where the candles gleam
You're the best thing walking in between
Happy birthday to you, Eugene

[Outro]
Kick off your shoes beneath the glass
Home is wherever you have been
