Coats on the Stairs
Style: Piano pop

[Verse 1]
Two old coats across our arms
Dragging up the stairs we know
Paint gone thin beneath our boots
Still you laugh and steal the show

[Pre-chorus]
Every year the same worn steps
Every year you make them new
So let's light the candles now

[Chorus]
Shannon, Shannon, raise the cheer
Nobody lights a room like you do here
Shannon, we're glad you were born
Loud as thunder, warm as dawn

[Verse 2]
Peeling white along the rail
Still it holds us, still it stands
Like the way you hold this house
Steady in your two good hands

[Bridge]
However heavy the load gets
You still carry it with grace
Every birthday proves it true
There's nobody in your place

[Chorus]
Shannon, Shannon, raise the cheer
Nobody lights a room like you do here
Shannon, we're glad you were born
Loud as thunder, warm as dawn

[Outro]
Hang the coats upon the stair
Another year, and you're still here
