  Verse 1

  Boxes stacked up by the wall damp brick holding up the sky we piled them high for you just to watch the pile go by

  Pre-chorus

  Something's building in this yard can you feel it start to swell hearts are lifting like the wind

  Chorus

  Rowan, Rowan, sing it loud clap your hands and keep it going every voice here knows your name love like this keeps overflowing

  Verse 2

  Paper plates across the grass chasing wild without a care we could chase them all day long just to see you laughing there

  Pre-chorus

  Something's building in this yard can you feel it start to swell hearts are lifting like the wind

  Chorus

  Rowan, Rowan, sing it loud clap your hands and keep it going every voice here knows your name love like this keeps overflowing

  Bridge

  Every year we'll stack them high boxes, plates, whatever comes we'll be shouting out your name long after the party's done

  Chorus

  Rowan, Rowan, sing it loud clap your hands and keep it going every voice here knows your name love like this keeps overflowing

  Outro

  Let the plates fly where they may we'll be here to shout your name

  Verse 1

  Cups lined up along the rail Waiting on the whistle's wail Doors about to slide and part Still you're stalling every cart

  Chorus

  Rowan, light the candles now Half this town don't know quite how Lucky we all are it's true Every year we get with you

  Verse 2

  You left your mark on that cold rail Tapped the rhythm, told the tale Strangers laughing at your joke Before the train let out its smoke

  Pre-chorus

  Another year is rolling in Load the cake, let's all begin Something's building, can you feel

  Chorus

  Rowan, light the candles now Half this town don't know quite how Lucky we all are it's true Every year we get with you

  Bridge

  Doors are sliding, here we go Sing it louder, Rowan, so Everyone along the track Knows we're never letting up

  Chorus

  Rowan, light the candles now Half this town don't know quite how Lucky we all are it's true Every year we get with you

  Outro

  Leave the paper cups behind You're the best thing left to find

  Verse 1

  Down by the water, bottles lay still Green glass forgotten among the stones But nothing that's loved could stay lost like that Not while there's still a place you call home

  Pre-chorus

  We could have let this day slip by Quiet as reeds along the shore But you deserve much more than that

  Chorus

  Rowan, the candles are burning your name Two syllables lighting the room Nobody else makes an ordinary day Feel like a thing in full bloom

  Verse 2

  The pond sits brown and doesn't complain It just keeps holding what it's given But you give back a hundredfold That's the difference in how you're living

  Pre-chorus

  We could have let this day slip by Quiet as reeds along the shore But you deserve much more than that

  Chorus

  Rowan, the candles are burning your name Two syllables lighting the room Nobody else makes an ordinary day Feel like a thing in full bloom

  Bridge

  Every year that keeps on going Finds you kinder, finds you growing So let the whole room sing it loud We're glad you're here, we're glad, we're proud

  Chorus

  Rowan, the candles are burning your name Two syllables lighting the room Nobody else makes an ordinary day Feel like a thing in full bloom

  Outro

  Let the bottles roll on where they may We know exactly what we found today
