Rust and Still Standing
Style: Soul waltz

[Verse 1]
The bolts along the pier have rusted
but the planks are holding fine
I watched you weather your own storms
and never once quit on the line

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

Alina, we're still here together

of salt and years and strain
but nothing built to last is easy

[Chorus]

steady through wind and through weather
I've seen what tries to wear you down
Alina, we're still here together

[Outro]

and so, my love, do we
