White Against the Rust
Style: Blues slow dance

[Verse 1]
You hang there white against the rust
steady while the whole rail's giving way
the water underneath keeps churning
but you don't move, you're built on trust

[Pre-chorus]
I've watched the current pull at weaker things
I've watched good rope just come undone
but you stay tied to me

[Chorus]
Faith, you're the ring that holds the weight
you keep me steady, keep me straight
the water's dark but you're my gate
Faith, I know you won't be late

[Verse 2]
Some nights the railing groans and bends
the whole thing rusted through with time
but you're still hanging where I left you
that's the kind of love that never ends

[Chorus]
Faith, you're the ring that holds the weight
you keep me steady, keep me straight
the water's dark but you're my gate
Faith, I know you won't be late

[Bridge]
I don't need the current calm
I just need your hand near mine
that white against the black water
is all the proof, all the sign

[Chorus]
Faith, you're the ring that holds the weight
you keep me steady, keep me straight
the water's dark but you're my gate
Faith, I know you won't be late

[Outro]
Still white against the rusted rail
still holding on when I feel small
