Platform Song for Ronald
Style: Brass band

[Verse 1]
Two cases stood beside the board
waiting on a train delayed
the whole platform hummed with cold
but you made the waiting feel warm

[Pre-chorus]
Every year the whistle blows
another mile of road you've known
but tonight we're calling out before you go

[Chorus]
Ronald, light the whole platform up
raise the horns and fill the cup
the timetable can wait a while
we came to cheer for Ronald

[Verse 2]
Trains keep leaving, trains come in
you're the one who makes it fine
other folk just watch the board
you turn waiting into a grin

[Bridge]
However far the tracks may run
we'll follow where you've gone
the band strikes up, the night's begun
hold on to this one, hold on

[Chorus]
Ronald, light the whole platform up
raise the horns and fill the cup
the timetable can wait a while
we came to cheer for Ronald

[Outro]
Those two cases can wait for dawn
happy birthday, Ronald, carry on
