Salt and Slow Water
Style: Irish air

[Verse 1]
I walked the shore before you woke
Just to bring the morning home
You'd have loved the pale grey light
Some things are better shared, not shown

[Pre-chorus]
I picked the smallest stone I found
Held it till it warmed my hand
There's a kind of love that doesn't sound

[Chorus]
Kevin, you're the calm after the tide
You're the steady I lean on
Every gleam I've ever found
Was you, Kevin, since the start, not gone

[Verse 2]
You never needed the loud kind of love
The kind that burns and disappears
What you gave me was slower, sure
Worth more than shine, worth all these years

[Chorus]
Kevin, you're the calm after the tide
You're the steady I lean on
Every gleam I've ever found
Was you, Kevin, since the start, not gone

[Bridge]
Let the water keep on turning stones
I'm not asking for the world
Just this shore, and you, alone

[Chorus]
Kevin, you're the calm after the tide
You're the steady I lean on
Every gleam I've ever found
Was you, Kevin, since the start, not gone

[Outro]
I'll bring that stone in from the shore
Keep it close, the way I keep you near
