Songs for Georgia

Verse 1

We stood out there and froze for you Banners dripping, cheap and bright Nobody cared about the drizzle Long as you showed up tonight

Chorus

Georgia, Georgia, light the field up Every cup we raise is for ya Mud on our boots and hearts wide open Nothing says it like Georgia

Verse 2

You came stomping through the puddles Grinning like you owned the ground Every goalpost dressed in tinfoil Just to hear that cheer resound

Pre-chorus

Somebody's shouting your name now The banners swinging in the breeze Here it comes, so get ready

Chorus

Georgia, Georgia, light the field up Every cup we raise is for ya Mud on our boots and hearts wide open Nothing says it like Georgia

Bridge

Rain or not, we're staying Nobody's leaving this old pitch You're the reason we came running Through the cold and through the ditch

Chorus

Georgia, Georgia, light the field up Every cup we raise is for ya Mud on our boots and hearts wide open Nothing says it like Georgia

Outro

Foil banners still are swinging Happy birthday, hold that cheer

Verse 1

Blue tiles ringing with laughter Wet footprints round the deep end You dive in first, always braver We're better whenever you're in

Pre-chorus

Something in you lights the water Something in you starts the cheer So light the candles, gather round now

Chorus

Georgia, the room shouts your name Twice as loud as before ya We're raising glasses just the same Nobody's dull without Georgia

Verse 2

You laugh and the whole pool echoes Splashing on like it's your right We race you and we never win, though You make losing feel alright

Bridge

Another year of you among us Another candle, one more spark We'd follow you into the water Even in the dark

Chorus

Georgia, the room shouts your name Twice as loud as before ya We're raising glasses just the same Nobody's dull without Georgia

Outro

Somewhere the blue tiles are waiting Somewhere your footprints still shine

Verse 1

Paper cups shake on the table Small trailer, but we made it stable Sound of laughing fills the tin walls You make the whole room able

Pre-chorus

Something's building, feel it rising Every voice here synchronising Count it down before the drop

Chorus

Georgia, light the whole room up Pass the noise round like a cup Nobody here could love you more We came for you, we won't stop

Verse 2

Candles catch and start to flicker Music playing, getting quicker Everybody knows your name here And every year we love you thicker

Bridge

However far this table travels However thin the tin walls feel You're the reason this thing rattles You're the reason this night's real

Chorus

Georgia, light the whole room up Pass the noise round like a cup Nobody here could love you more We came for you, we won't stop

Outro

Cups still rattling on the table Here's to you, forever able

Verse 1

Frost was hard across the ground I walked it before the light Left my boots in tracks around Just to see your window bright

Pre-chorus

I don't need the sun to rise I don't need a warmer day I just need to see your eyes

Chorus

Georgia, you're the reason I stay Through the cold and come what may Nothing's simple, nothing's neat But Georgia, you make my life complete

Verse 2

Some mornings I forget my name But I remember yours out loud You're steady when the rest is strange You're the one thing I feel proud

Bridge

No grand words, no perfect plan Just this frost beneath my feet Walking toward you while I can Knowing you're the ground I need

Chorus

Georgia, you're the reason I stay Through the cold and come what may Nothing's simple, nothing's neat But Georgia, you make my life complete

Outro

The frost will melt by afternoon My boots still know the way to you

Verse 1

A green timetable shakes on the brick caught by a wind that won't let go I watch it fight against the pin and think of you, and how I know

Chorus

Georgia, you're the platform I keep finding every track I take leads home to you Nothing in this station holds me steady only Georgia, only you

Verse 2

Trains keep changing on the board but one name never moves for me I've read that timetable a hundred times it just keeps spelling out where you'll be

Pre-chorus

I don't need the next train now I'm not going anywhere but near you Stay right there, I'm crossing over

Chorus

Georgia, you're the platform I keep finding every track I take leads home to you Nothing in this station holds me steady only Georgia, only you

Bridge

Paper tears a little more each year but the pin still holds it to the wall Some things fray and still keep going that's the only love I want at all

Chorus

Georgia, you're the platform I keep finding every track I take leads home to you Nothing in this station holds me steady only Georgia, only you

Outro

Let the timetable flap and tear I'm already where I'm going

Verse 1

That bulb won't stop its flicker Floor throwing back the light Nowhere special, just here You make the whole room quicker

Pre-chorus

I've counted every shadow Watched them move across your face Now the room is holding still

Chorus

Georgia, the light keeps catching you Nothing else in here is new Old floor, tired bulb, same view But I still stop when I look at you

Verse 2

We never fixed that ceiling Kept meaning to, somehow You laugh at how it stutters I love you more right now

Bridge

Some rooms don't need much dressing When somebody's this close No candlelight, no music Just you and how it goes

Chorus

Georgia, the light keeps catching you Nothing else in here is new Old floor, tired bulb, same view But I still stop when I look at you

Outro

That bulb will flicker on for years And I'll still be looking here

Verse 1

The old chair holds its blanket like it's holding you instead Soft wool has curled around the arms that cradle your small head No need to fight the quiet, it was always on your side You're wrapped inside a warmth that this whole house has learned to hide

Pre-chorus

Every corner of this room is turning low and slow The lamp has dimmed its eye to watch you settle down below Close now, let the dark come soft, there's somewhere you should go

Chorus

Georgia, sleep is calling gently, let it carry you tonight Nothing here can touch you, you are held and you are right Rest inside the hush that loves you more than words can say Georgia, you are safe here, let the whole world drift away

Verse 2

Wooden arms don't ask for anything, they only learn to bend They shaped themselves around your shape until the two could blend Somewhere past the window night is folding into deeper blue And every fold of it was only ever meant for you

Pre-chorus

Every corner of this room is turning low and slow The lamp has dimmed its eye to watch you settle down below Close now, let the dark come soft, there's somewhere you should go

Chorus

Georgia, sleep is calling gently, let it carry you tonight Nothing here can touch you, you are held and you are right Rest inside the hush that loves you more than words can say Georgia, you are safe here, let the whole world drift away

Bridge

Hush now, little breath, the dark is only kindness dressed in grey Nobody needs you awake for one more minute of today

Chorus

Georgia, sleep is calling gently, let it carry you tonight Nothing here can touch you, you are held and you are right Rest inside the hush that loves you more than words can say Georgia, you are safe here, let the whole world drift away

Outro

The blanket stays exactly where those wooden arms have laid it down You stay exactly where you're loved, however far you've gone

Verse 1

The amber light is pooling soft on the top step tonight Spilling low and warm across the floor where you lie It waits there gentle just to see you drifting into rest Golden as a hush before a lullaby

Chorus

Georgia, close your eyes now, let the quiet come and stay Nothing in this house will ever leave you unattended You are held so closely, safe till morning finds its way Georgia, you are loved beyond what could be intended

Verse 2

Every shadow in this room has curled up soft and small Wrapped around the corners like a blanket laid with care Nothing here will wake or stir or reach to trouble you at all Just the amber glow still settled on the stair

Pre-chorus

Listen how the whole house breathes in one long steady tide Every board and beam is holding still to keep you warm So let the hush come closer now and settle deep inside

Chorus

Georgia, close your eyes now, let the quiet come and stay Nothing in this house will ever leave you unattended You are held so closely, safe till morning finds its way Georgia, you are loved beyond what could be intended

Bridge

Somewhere past the window all the stars keep their own time Somewhere in this quiet you are already home

Chorus

Georgia, close your eyes now, let the quiet come and stay Nothing in this house will ever leave you unattended You are held so closely, safe till morning finds its way Georgia, you are loved beyond what could be intended

Outro

The amber light will still be there when morning comes to call Watching gently over you who matters most of all

Verse 1

A white beam slips through the cotton walls of our tent tonight Soft as a hand laid gentle on the edge of the dark It finds the corner where you're curled up small and warm and light And rests there quiet like it came to leave its little mark

Chorus

Georgia, sleep now, the whole wide night is holding you still You are the warmest thing that this quiet house has known Nothing can reach you, not the wind nor the far off hill Georgia, you are held closer than you have ever known

Verse 2

The lamp turns low and the shadows learn to lie down too Every small sound outside goes soft and settles into rest Somewhere a door clicks shut and keeps the cold away from you Here in this warmth you are the safest and the best

Pre-chorus

Hush now, the beam is fading slow along the tent's white side Your breathing slows to match the turning of the far off tide And sleep comes closer, gentle, waiting just to step inside

Chorus

Georgia, sleep now, the whole wide night is holding you still You are the warmest thing that this quiet house has known Nothing can reach you, not the wind nor the far off hill Georgia, you are held closer than you have ever known

Bridge

Let the dark be only softness, only cotton, only calm Nothing in this night was ever meant to bring you harm

Chorus

Georgia, sleep now, the whole wide night is holding you still You are the warmest thing that this quiet house has known Nothing can reach you, not the wind nor the far off hill Georgia, you are held closer than you have ever known

Outro

The white beam dims to nothing on the wall where it once lay Sleep now, Georgia, safe till morning finds its way
