Salt on the Rail
Style: Acoustic soul

[Verse 1]
Salt is building on the brass
Engines humming down the line
I am standing in the diesel haze
Waiting just to call you mine

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing here is shining clean
Nothing here is new or grand
But you are steady, you are seen
And I am reaching for your hand

[Chorus]
Brianna, you are the reason I stay
Through every crossing, every delay
Brianna, my hands know your name
Better than the salt knows the rail

[Verse 2]
Years could rust this railing through
Wear it down to something plain
But I keep finding truth in you
Steady as the engine's strain

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing here is shining clean
Nothing here is new or grand
But you are steady, you are seen
And I am reaching for your hand

[Chorus]
Brianna, you are the reason I stay
Through every crossing, every delay
Brianna, my hands know your name
Better than the salt knows the rail

[Bridge]
I never needed the perfect view
Just the low hum, just you
Some loves shine, some just wear well
Yours is the kind I trust to tell

[Chorus]
Brianna, you are the reason I stay
Through every crossing, every delay
Brianna, my hands know your name
Better than the salt knows the rail

[Outro]
Let the brass go white with salt
I will still be holding on
