Rust and Steady
Style: Motown ballad

[Verse 1]
Out where the wooden pier runs thin
I found a railing worn and true
Iron gone orange, edges soft
It made me think of loving you

[Pre-chorus]
You hold the same way through the years
No shine left on you, and I don't care
I need you closer, come here

[Chorus]
Easton, listen close to me
You're the rust that stays and grows
Nothing pretty, nothing new
Just the steady love that shows

[Verse 2]
Waves keep coming, wear the wood
Salt gets into everything
But you don't bend the way it does
You're the calm no storm can bring

[Chorus]
Easton, listen close to me
You're the rust that stays and grows
Nothing pretty, nothing new
Just the steady love that shows

[Bridge]
Other things get polished up and sold
You just stayed and let me hold on
I never needed you to shine
I needed you to still be there

[Chorus]
Easton, listen close to me
You're the rust that stays and grows
Nothing pretty, nothing new
Just the steady love that shows

[Outro]
I'll walk that pier again someday
Find you right where old things stay
