Songs for Megan

Verse 1

Wind is loud up on this roof Brick wall holding strong and true Cardboard towers lean but never fall We stand here and we shout for you

Chorus

Megan, the candles catch the wind Clap your hands, the party has begun Every year you pull us all together Megan, we're so glad you began

Verse 2

Boxes climbing to the sky Stacked up high against the blue Nothing here could ever knock you down We build this day around you

Pre-chorus

Feel that rooftop breeze come round Hear the voices rising loud Something good is coming, can't you feel it

Chorus

Megan, the candles catch the wind Clap your hands, the party has begun Every year you pull us all together Megan, we're so glad you began

Bridge

Up where the wind can't wear us down We hold this moment, hold this ground However hard the gusts may blow You're the one who steadies the crowd

Chorus

Megan, the candles catch the wind Clap your hands, the party has begun Every year you pull us all together Megan, we're so glad you began

Outro

Boxes still stand against the wall We'll sing you home through wind and all

Verse 1

Corner shop bell rings out loud Paper bags all rustling round You laugh like the ice machine hums Best noise in this whole town

Pre-chorus

Grab your coat and grab your cup Something good is coming round We been waiting on this one

Chorus

Megan, light the candles up Hitch up the wagon, let's begin Everybody raise a cup We're so glad you were born, Megan

Verse 2

You spin quarters on the counter Make the whole line laugh out loud Even strangers start to smile When you walk into a crowd

Bridge

Sugar rush and neon light Everybody stomping in a line You're the reason we all showed up tonight Clap your hands and count to nine

Chorus

Megan, light the candles up Hitch up the wagon, let's begin Everybody raise a cup We're so glad you were born, Megan

Outro

Bell still ringing at the door We'll come back for one more year

Verse 1

The glasses stack up on the table Nobody wants to call it a night You laugh so loud the corner rattles And the whole room turns toward the light

Pre-chorus

Someone's stood up on a chair Someone's fetching one more round We've got something we should share

Chorus

Megan, this whole place is yours tonight Every sticky table, every seat Megan, we're not going home till light You're the reason this year's complete

Verse 2

You spilled a drink and didn't care Everybody joined right in We were strangers halfway through the year Now we'd follow where you begin

Bridge

Every candle gets a wish Every glass gets raised up high Tonight we're toasting one of this One more year we're glad you're by

Chorus

Megan, this whole place is yours tonight Every sticky table, every seat Megan, we're not going home till light You're the reason this year's complete

Outro

The glasses empty, the night gets late We'll raise the last one, Megan, to you

Verse 1

The branches sway so slowly past the frosted glass tonight and somewhere past the dark the moon is glowing soft and low I'll stay right here beside you till you drift from sight and hold you closer than the hush of falling snow

Pre-chorus

The wind is only humming now, it means you no harm hear how it settles gentle as it circles round your bed so let your busy little thoughts go quiet and stay warm

Chorus

Megan, close your eyes now, let the night begin you are safe and loved here, safer than a pagan moon nothing in the dark outside could ever creep within sleep now Megan, morning always follows soon

Verse 2

The branches lean together like they're whispering your name and the moonlight through the frost falls softly on your face I will watch the shadows dance and never feel the same for you have filled this quiet house with warmth and grace

Chorus

Megan, close your eyes now, let the night begin you are safe and loved here, safer than a pagan moon nothing in the dark outside could ever creep within sleep now Megan, morning always follows soon

Bridge

Rest now, little wanderer, your journey's done for today let the branches keep their swaying, let the moon light up the grey

Chorus

Megan, close your eyes now, let the night begin you are safe and loved here, safer than a pagan moon nothing in the dark outside could ever creep within sleep now Megan, morning always follows soon

Outro

The branches still sway gently past the frosted glass tonight and you are held here safely till the morning brings the light

Verse 1

Oars are leaning soft against the canvas by the water drops of rain still cling to wood like some forgotten daughter night has pulled its blanket over harbour, boat and stone and you are here beside me, never once alone

Chorus

Megan, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind sleep is just a quiet boat with you upon my mind Megan, I will watch the water till the morning comes you are safe as any harbour ever was for anyone

Verse 2

Somewhere ropes are creaking gently where the tide is turning you are warm and heavy here, no need for any yearning every drop of rain outside has found its place to fall and you have found your place right here, the safest of them all

Pre-chorus

Hush now, the water only whispers, never shouts nothing on this quiet night could ever pull you out of the warm and steady arms that hold you close and slow

Chorus

Megan, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind sleep is just a quiet boat with you upon my mind Megan, I will watch the water till the morning comes you are safe as any harbour ever was for anyone

Bridge

Let the damp night settle round us, soft as breath nothing here tonight resembles anything like loss you are held the way the harbour holds a boat from harm

Chorus

Megan, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind sleep is just a quiet boat with you upon my mind Megan, I will watch the water till the morning comes you are safe as any harbour ever was for anyone

Outro

Rest now, the oars are still against the canvas, dark and slow you are the calmest water that I ever hope to know

Verse 1

Wheels are turning slow beneath the heavy green branches now Every little sound outside is fading soft and far Leaves are crunching gently underneath us as we roll along You are safe here in the dark, however things are

Chorus

Megan, close your eyes, the night is wrapping soft around you Nothing in this world could ever wish you harm Rest against the hush that's carried you here, Megan You are held, you are loved, you are warm

Verse 2

Branches hang so low they touch the roof and let us pass Nothing waits outside that means to do you wrong Autumn breathes its quiet all along this winding path This whole night was made to carry you along

Pre-chorus

Somewhere past the window all the leaves are settling down Somewhere past the engine's hum the stars begin to wake Hold on to that feeling as your breathing starts to slow

Chorus

Megan, close your eyes, the night is wrapping soft around you Nothing in this world could ever wish you harm Rest against the hush that's carried you here, Megan You are held, you are loved, you are warm

Bridge

Nobody needs to hurry where we're going Nothing but the soft dark all the way

Chorus

Megan, close your eyes, the night is wrapping soft around you Nothing in this world could ever wish you harm Rest against the hush that's carried you here, Megan You are held, you are loved, you are warm

Outro

Wheels are turning slower now beneath the heavy branches still Sleep has found you here, and it will keep you safe until morning
