Salt on the Railing
Style: Chamber folk

[Verse 1]
Diesel drifting past the railing
salt crust white where hands have leaned
I stood there waiting for a bus
and thought of nothing till you rang

[Pre-chorus]
Some days give you nothing back
just fumes and rust and standing still
then your voice comes through the noise

[Chorus]
Kirsty, you're the warmth in all this grey
the reason grey can hold a while
you steady me like nothing else can
Kirsty, worth the waiting, come what may

[Verse 2]
The railing holds the salt for years
it never asked for that at all
but you chose me and kept on choosing
that's the difference, that's it all

[Pre-chorus]
Some days give you nothing back
just fumes and rust and standing still
then your voice comes through the noise

[Chorus]
Kirsty, you're the warmth in all this grey
the reason grey can hold a while
you steady me like nothing else can
Kirsty, worth the waiting, come what may

[Bridge]
No one built that railing to be loved
yet something soft still gathers there
and I didn't plan on you either
but here we are, and here we stay

[Chorus]
Kirsty, you're the warmth in all this grey
the reason grey can hold a while
you steady me like nothing else can
Kirsty, worth the waiting, come what may

[Outro]
The fumes will clear, the salt will stay
and I'll still choose you either way
