Shoes By The Railing
Style: Acoustic soul

[Verse 1]
You left your shoes beside the railing
Walked the deck barefoot, easy and free
Something about that always stayed with me
No fear in you, never failing

[Pre-chorus]
You trust the ground to hold you steady
Trust the water, trust the wide unknown
And slowly I trust it too

[Chorus]
Arthur, you make the leaving simple
Turn every distance into something small
Steady as a hand against a wall
Arthur, you make the ferry deck feel warmer

[Verse 2]
I used to flinch at open water
Watched the waves like they might take you far
But you just stood beneath the evening star
Certain as a favourite daughter

[Bridge]
Maybe love is just this, standing near
Watching someone walk off unafraid
Knowing they'll come back to where you are

[Chorus]
Arthur, you make the leaving simple
Turn every distance into something small
Steady as a hand against a wall
Arthur, you make the ferry deck feel warmer

[Outro]
Your shoes still sit beside that railing
Waiting, the way I wait for you
