Carried Home Wet
Style: Ceilidh jig

[Verse 1]
Rain came down and soaked us through
Bags gone soft against the floor
Nobody minded, least of all you
Laughing like you'd won the war

[Chorus]
Josiah, raise the roof tonight
Somebody bring the candles higher
Say it loud so the whole street hears it
Josiah lights us up like fire

[Verse 2]
Bus rattled on through the dark
Puddles at your feet like glass
Nothing about that ride was grand
Still it's a night I won't let pass

[Pre-chorus]
Every year gets harder, faster
You keep steady through it all
So let the candles start to climb

[Chorus]
Josiah, raise the roof tonight
Somebody bring the candles higher
Say it loud so the whole street hears it
Josiah lights us up like fire

[Bridge]
Isaiah couldn't hold a room like you
Uriah never made us smile this way
Malachi can keep his quiet corner
You're the noise we needed today

[Chorus]
Josiah, raise the roof tonight
Somebody bring the candles higher
Say it loud so the whole street hears it
Josiah lights us up like fire

[Outro]
Wet bags, bright lights, a rattling floor
We'd ride that bus again for you
