Salt on the Rail
Style: Synth ballad

[Verse 1]
Salt dries slow on the metal rail
Between one coat and the next one on
I found you there in the wind and hail
Still standing warm when the heat was gone

[Pre-chorus]
You never asked me to prove a thing
No grand line, no big display
Just stayed close while the cold winds sing

[Chorus]
Hadley, I would choose you badly lit
In every weather, every light
I'd choose you slow, I'd choose you quick
Hadley, gladly, wrong or right

[Verse 2]
We've worn our coats through better years
Hung them damp by the same old door
I've watched you laugh, I've watched your tears
And wanted nothing else, nothing more

[Chorus]
Hadley, I would choose you badly lit
In every weather, every light
I'd choose you slow, I'd choose you quick
Hadley, gladly, wrong or right

[Bridge]
Not the loudest thing I've known
But the steadiest hand I've held
No performance, nothing shown
Just you, and how the quiet felt

[Chorus]
Hadley, I would choose you badly lit
In every weather, every light
I'd choose you slow, I'd choose you quick
Hadley, gladly, wrong or right

[Outro]
The rail still holds the salt and cold
But you're the warmth I carry home
