Lucille (Raise a Cup)
Style: Ceilidh jig

[Verse 1]
Two cardboard cups on a bench gone grey
Sat there since we shared a chill
Nobody thought they would stay this way
But nothing fades when it's real, Lucille

[Chorus]
Lucille, Lucille, we're calling your name
Raise every cup that we can fill
Tonight the whole room feels the same
We're glad you're here, we're glad, Lucille

[Verse 2]
Seasons turned and the wood wore thin
Still that bench holds what it held still
You keep the warmth that lets us in
No candle needed, you're the flame, Lucille

[Pre-chorus]
So light every light that we can light
Let the fiddle climb until
We're all on our feet, holding on tight

[Chorus]
Lucille, Lucille, we're calling your name
Raise every cup that we can fill
Tonight the whole room feels the same
We're glad you're here, we're glad, Lucille

[Bridge]
Here's to the years that you've made bright
Here's to the ones still to fulfil
Whatever comes, whatever might
We'll toast it standing, side by side

[Chorus]
Lucille, Lucille, we're calling your name
Raise every cup that we can fill
Tonight the whole room feels the same
We're glad you're here, we're glad, Lucille

[Outro]
Leave the old cups out on the bench
They'll wait for us, and so will you
