Boxes By the Door
Style: Brass band

[Verse 1]
Somebody counted all the boxes twice
Grapes on the board look cool as ice
But none of it means much at all
Until we watch you walk through that hall

[Pre-chorus]
Trumpets are ready, drums on the rise
Everyone's grinning, hiding their sighs
So blow out the candle before it dies

[Chorus]
Raymond, the room is yours tonight
Cake boxes stacked up to the light
Raymond, we raise our cups and shout
This is the day we celebrate

[Verse 2]
You always laugh the loudest here
Pull up a chair, grab your beer
The grapes get passed from hand to hand
But it's your day, so take a stand

[Chorus]
Raymond, the room is yours tonight
Cake boxes stacked up to the light
Raymond, we raise our cups and shout
This is the day we celebrate

[Bridge]
Every year we stack the boxes higher
Every year you light us up like fire
Whatever comes, however far you roam
This room is always where you're home

[Chorus]
Raymond, the room is yours tonight
Cake boxes stacked up to the light
Raymond, we raise our cups and shout
This is the day we celebrate

[Outro]
The boxes empty, the grapes all gone
But Raymond, this feeling carries on
