  Verse 1

  Fog on the glass by the door Coats on the pegs, boots on the floor Someone comes home, the whole house cheers Frances arrives, and away go the years

  Pre-chorus

  We heard the gate, we heard your song We've had this candle burning long Come in from the cold, where you belong

  Chorus

  Frances, Frances, give us your hand Nobody dances quite like you can Frances, Frances, look at these chances Life gave us you, and we know our romances

  Verse 2

  Every year the same warm light Every year you make it right Steam on the window, laughter inside There's no closed door you can't open wide

  Pre-chorus

  We heard the gate, we heard your song We've had this candle burning long Come in from the cold, where you belong

  Chorus

  Frances, Frances, give us your hand Nobody dances quite like you can Frances, Frances, look at these chances Life gave us you, and we know our romances

  Bridge

  Raise your glass and stamp your feet Nobody here can keep the beat Like the one who walked through that door And made this house what it's for

  Chorus

  Frances, Frances, give us your hand Nobody dances quite like you can Frances, Frances, look at these chances Life gave us you, and we know our romances

  Outro

  The glass has cleared, the coats hang still We're glad you're home, and always will

  Verse 1

  Wheels are turning, brown and bright Rolling past the green and grey You go chasing all the light Bringing colour to the day

  Pre-chorus

  Every mile you make it sing Every corner, something new We can feel the party building

  Chorus

  Frances, this is your day now Give this moment all your chances Watch the whole room light up somehow Dancing here for Frances, Frances

  Verse 2

  Moss grows soft on old brick stone Yet you never slow your pace You were never meant to sit alone Joy just follows in your space

  Bridge

  Spin it loud and spin it true Every year still finds you shining We are lucky knowing you Nothing dims what you keep climbing

  Chorus

  Frances, this is your day now Give this moment all your chances Watch the whole room light up somehow Dancing here for Frances, Frances

  Outro

  Wheels keep turning, on you go Bridges hold you, we just know

  Verse 1

  Wet leaves hang on rusted wire Caught beside the old stone path Even rust can catch the light When you walk by, it laughs

  Pre-chorus

  Something plain turns golden Every time you're near So raise your cup and holler

  Chorus

  Frances, you were born for chances Born to turn the grey to gold Twirl us through a hundred dances Frances, never growing old

  Verse 2

  Nobody asked that mesh to shine Nobody asked the leaves to stay But there they hung and caught the sun The way you do today

  Pre-chorus

  Something plain turns golden Every time you're near So raise your cup and holler

  Chorus

  Frances, you were born for chances Born to turn the grey to gold Twirl us through a hundred dances Frances, never growing old

  Bridge

  Every year you spin around again Brighter than the last one, friend We'll sing it loud so you believe it Nothing rusty where you've been

  Chorus

  Frances, you were born for chances Born to turn the grey to gold Twirl us through a hundred dances Frances, never growing old

  Outro

  Wet leaves still shine on old wire Because you walked that way
