Salt on the Railing
Style: Chamber folk

[Verse 1]
Salt is drying on the railing
water underneath is still trailing
you lean there like you own the light
this calm was worth the sailing

[Chorus]
Carole, you're the steady hand I know
stay a while, there's no place I'd rather go
the water keeps on moving on
but Carole, you're my constant, calm and slow

[Verse 2]
Morning finds you at the rail again
counting boats like they were friends
you never rush the view away
some peace like yours has no end

[Pre-chorus]
Something in the way you're standing there
says more than any word could dare
and I keep leaning into it

[Chorus]
Carole, you're the steady hand I know
stay a while, there's no place I'd rather go
the water keeps on moving on
but Carole, you're my constant, calm and slow

[Bridge]
Let the salt keep building where we stood
every layer says we're good
I don't need the tide to turn

[Chorus]
Carole, you're the steady hand I know
stay a while, there's no place I'd rather go
the water keeps on moving on
but Carole, you're my constant, calm and slow

[Outro]
The railing holds the salt we left
you hold the rest, and I am kept
