  Verse 1

  The trowels rest when the work is done Wooden tables worn by sun Rows of cabbages standing tall You're the reason we all stayed

  Pre-chorus

  We could go home, call it a day But nobody wants to walk away So light the lanterns, let them stay

  Chorus

  Zayd, you made this whole day shine Pour the cider, pass the wine Every year you're one of a kind Zayd, we're glad that you were made

  Verse 2

  You dig in deep and you don't quit Hands like yours, the garden fits Every seed you plant takes hold We're better for the love you gave

  Bridge

  Long past dusk and into shade Still we're singing, unafraid This is one more year we're paid In laughter that will never fade

  Chorus

  Zayd, you made this whole day shine Pour the cider, pass the wine Every year you're one of a kind Zayd, we're glad that you were made

  Outro

  Leave the trowels where they lay We'll come back another day

  Verse 1

  Someone's tangled paper round the latch Bright and crooked, nothing to match Cheap old streamers, torn at the ends Still they're holding, like all your friends

  Chorus

  Zayd, the horns are calling your name Every trumpet lit like a flame Zayd, we're raising cups for you Nobody plays a room quite like you do

  Verse 2

  Window's rattling, latch holds on Streamers catching every song You walk in and the whole place turns This is the night the brass band burns

  Pre-chorus

  Count it in, let the drum decide Open the window, let it ride Something is coming, stand aside

  Chorus

  Zayd, the horns are calling your name Every trumpet lit like a flame Zayd, we're raising cups for you Nobody plays a room quite like you do

  Bridge

  However far this year has strayed However long the party's stayed We'll shout it till the candles fade Glad that you were born, Zayd

  Chorus

  Zayd, the horns are calling your name Every trumpet lit like a flame Zayd, we're raising cups for you Nobody plays a room quite like you do

  Outro

  The latch still holds the streamers tight We'll hold you just as close tonight
