Knives in the Bowl
Style: Motown soul

[Verse 1]
Butter knives sit in the bowl
Soaking with the morning light
You left them there and walked away
Called me over just to fight

[Chorus]
Lena, Lena, light the candles now
Everybody sing your name out loud
Lena, put your feet up, take a bow
We are lucky that you're around

[Verse 2]
You laugh loud over dirty plates
Turn the kitchen into a scene
Nothing here is ever plain
When you're standing in between

[Pre-chorus]
So let the water sit and cool
Let the mess wait by the door
Because tonight is yours for sure

[Chorus]
Lena, Lena, light the candles now
Everybody sing your name out loud
Lena, put your feet up, take a bow
We are lucky that you're around

[Bridge]
Another year of you in the room
Making ordinary feel like more
We'll wash the knives up later

[Chorus]
Lena, Lena, light the candles now
Everybody sing your name out loud
Lena, put your feet up, take a bow
We are lucky that you're around

[Outro]
The bowl can wait till morning
We're just glad you're here tonight
