Rain on the Awning
Style: Swing big band

[Verse 1]
Rain comes down on the awning
crates of plums stacked up so high
market's soaked but nobody's leaving
not with you standing nearby

[Pre-chorus]
Colours brighter when you're near
something lifts when you walk in
so let the horns come in loud

[Chorus]
Raymond, the whole room's calling
happy to have you here
thirty crates of plums couldn't hold
half the joy you bring us this year

[Verse 2]
Yellow canvas dripping slow
vendors shouting through the storm
but you just laugh and grab a plum
and somehow the day feels warm

[Pre-chorus]
Colours brighter when you're near
something lifts when you walk in
so let the horns come in loud

[Chorus]
Raymond, the whole room's calling
happy to have you here
thirty crates of plums couldn't hold
half the joy you bring us this year

[Bridge]
Wherever you go the weather clears
people gather, glasses raised
here's to another year with you
here's to a name we've always praised

[Chorus]
Raymond, the whole room's calling
happy to have you here
thirty crates of plums couldn't hold
half the joy you bring us this year

[Outro]
Let it rain on every awning
we'll be dancing right through, Raymond
