Salt on the Rail
Style: Cinematic strings

[Verse 1]
Salt dries slow on the grey railing
the crossing long, the water still failing
to shake the boat from its steady line
and I keep thinking how you hold me, standing

[Pre-chorus]
I've watched the water change a hundred ways
I've counted every one of your quiet days
and none of it prepared me for this pull

[Chorus]
Dana, you're the calm inside the weather
the hand I reach for, holding on together
you move through storms in your own steady manner
nobody anchors me like you, Dana

[Verse 2]
The railing's cold but your voice isn't
every mile we cross, I notice
how you never make the silence heavy
you make it something I can rest in

[Chorus]
Dana, you're the calm inside the weather
the hand I reach for, holding on together
you move through storms in your own steady manner
nobody anchors me like you, Dana

[Bridge]
Let the deck rock, let the wind decide
I'm not afraid when you're beside me
this isn't new, and it isn't old
it's just you, and that's enough to hold

[Chorus]
Dana, you're the calm inside the weather
the hand I reach for, holding on together
you move through storms in your own steady manner
nobody anchors me like you, Dana

[Outro]
The salt will dry, the railing will rust
but I'll still choose you, still and just
