Washed Up Just Right
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
Found a bucket stuck in the weed
grey water, nothing much to see
but it held on through the whole tide
and that's the thing you are to me

[Chorus]
Erin, you're the one thing standing
when the winter wrecks the rest
not the loudest, not the finest
Erin, you're still the best

[Verse 2]
Everything else got carried off
the rope, the nets, the wood, the shore
but you stayed put beside me
you're the part I'm keeping for

[Pre-chorus]
I don't need a better story
I don't need a finer sign
just the way you kept on standing

[Chorus]
Erin, you're the one thing standing
when the winter wrecks the rest
not the loudest, not the finest
Erin, you're still the best

[Bridge]
Some things wash up battered, faded
some things go back out to sea
you stayed cracked and still worth keeping
that's enough of proof for me

[Chorus]
Erin, you're the one thing standing
when the winter wrecks the rest
not the loudest, not the finest
Erin, you're still the best

[Outro]
Grey water, one small bucket
and you, still here, still mine
