Salt and Steady
Style: Indie folk

[Verse 1]
Salt is building on the railing
wind is working at the paint
you just watch it, never failing
calm as something with no name saint

[Chorus]
Eugene, you keep me steady here
standing where the sea runs between
nothing fancy, nothing to fear
just this deck and you, Eugene

[Verse 2]
Spray keeps coming off the water
cold enough to sting my face
you don't flinch, you just get harder
planted in your quiet place

[Pre-chorus]
I've watched you weather every crossing
never once you turned for home
something in me keeps on tossing

[Chorus]
Eugene, you keep me steady here
standing where the sea runs between
nothing fancy, nothing to fear
just this deck and you, Eugene

[Bridge]
Rust will spread and paint will thin
but you don't ask the years to slow
I'd take this rail again, again
just to stand where you still go

[Chorus]
Eugene, you keep me steady here
standing where the sea runs between
nothing fancy, nothing to fear
just this deck and you, Eugene

[Outro]
Let the salt keep coming, let it stay
you're the one thing I don't wash away
