Salt on the Table
Style: Acoustic soul

[Verse 1]
The shaker tips and spills between us
salt on the cotton, red and white
you laugh and brush it with your hand
and something in me turns to light

[Pre-chorus]
It's such a small and simple thing
but you make ordinary glow
I feel it building, wanting out

[Chorus]
Julian, you're steady as the morning
the calm I didn't know I'd need
no grand gesture, no big warning
just you, and that's enough for me

[Verse 2]
We sit here with our elbows close
the gingham catching all the sun
you talk about some small thing lost
and I don't want this to be done

[Bridge]
Nothing here is dressed up fancy
no candle, nothing rehearsed
just salt and cloth and you across me
and I feel like I've been blessed first

[Chorus]
Julian, you're steady as the morning
the calm I didn't know I'd need
no grand gesture, no big warning
just you, and that's enough for me

[Outro]
The shaker's tipped, the salt's still there
and you're still here, and I don't care
