Songs for Weston

Verse 1

The horses turn beneath the wire Yellow bulbs are catching fire You laugh like you own the night Nobody here could want you higher

Pre-chorus

Count the lights strung pole to pole Feel the music take control Here it comes, here comes the call

Chorus

Weston, this whole room is yours tonight Every bulb above is burning bright We came here just to make your best Weston, hold on, here comes your height

Verse 2

You spin slow while we spin faster Every cheer builds to a laughter Even the poles seem to bend for you We would follow you up to the rafters

Chorus

Weston, this whole room is yours tonight Every bulb above is burning bright We came here just to make your best Weston, hold on, here comes your height

Bridge

Blow out the light strung overhead Make the wish you have not said Whatever it is, we are already glad We are already cheering ahead

Chorus

Weston, this whole room is yours tonight Every bulb above is burning bright We came here just to make your best Weston, hold on, here comes your height

Outro

The horses slow beneath the wire We are still here, still catching fire

Verse 1

Dust sits soft on that old brass frame Fingerprints where hands have pressed Somebody kept your picture near Because you've always been the best

Pre-chorus

Every year gets one more layer One more reason we're impressed So let the candles start their glow

Chorus

Weston, come and take your bow Happy birthday, we insist Weston, hear the room applaud You're the name we won't dismiss

Verse 2

That tarnished edge has seen some years Held on tables, held in chests Someone smiled and put you there Right where love and memory rest

Pre-chorus

Every year gets one more layer One more reason we're impressed So let the candles start their glow

Chorus

Weston, come and take your bow Happy birthday, we insist Weston, hear the room applaud You're the name we won't dismiss

Bridge

No frame could hold all that you are No picture ever caught it all We're glad you're standing here tonight We're glad we get to sing this call

Chorus

Weston, come and take your bow Happy birthday, we insist Weston, hear the room applaud You're the name we won't dismiss

Outro

Someday someone dusts a frame And finds this whole room loved you best

Verse 1

Wind was rattling the wire fence Out behind the old brick sheds But you walked past like you owned the world And turned every grey to red

Pre-chorus

Something in you lifts a room Something in you won't stay still Grab your hands, we're not done yet

Chorus

Weston, we could search all night Never find one we love best Raise your glass and hold on tight Weston, you're the whole night's guest

Verse 2

Every clatter in the wind Sounds a bit more like a cheer Because you're standing in the yard Turning cold nights into here

Bridge

Let the fence keep up its noise We'll dance louder than the storm Every year that pulls you forward Finds us glad that you were born

Chorus

Weston, we could search all night Never find one we love best Raise your glass and hold on tight Weston, you're the whole night's guest

Outro

Let the wire fence rattle on We've got you, and that's enough
