Salt on the Rail
Style: Irish air

[Verse 1]
Salt frosts the rail beneath my hand
You steady me against the swell
We watch the water lose the land
And still I know this ends up well

[Pre-chorus]
Every engine hums a low goodbye
But you keep facing into it
Nothing here has made me want to fly

[Chorus]
Ann, you're the calm the whole deck needs
Salt in the air, and you're my plan
Wherever this old engine leads
I'd cross it twice for you, Ann

[Verse 2]
You lean in closer when the spray comes hard
Laughing like the cold's a joke we share
Nothing about you feels like a guard
You just stay, and that is rare

[Bridge]
No map could hold what keeps me here
It isn't distance, isn't chance
It's how you turn and know no fear
Steady as the ship's advance

[Chorus]
Ann, you're the calm the whole deck needs
Salt in the air, and you're my plan
Wherever this old engine leads
I'd cross it twice for you, Ann

[Outro]
The rail still holds the salt and spray
You're the one thing steady on this run
