Coffee on the Rail
Style: Bossa nova

[Verse 1]
You hand me the warmer cup
and keep the cold one for yourself
that's how I always know it's love
the small ways you look after me

[Pre-chorus]
The water's grey, the wind is loud
but nothing here feels wrong
I could stand on this deck for hours
if you keep humming that song

[Chorus]
Lily, you're the calm in every crossing
Lily, steady when the water's rough
I never doubt you, never worry
two cups on a rail is enough

[Verse 2]
You laugh when the boat tips sideways
and grab my sleeve instead of the rail
I'd rather hold onto you completely
than any handle built to not fail

[Pre-chorus]
The gulls are loud, the coffee's gone cold
but I don't want to move yet
there's nowhere I'd rather be standing
than right here, getting soaked and wet

[Chorus]
Lily, you're the calm in every crossing
Lily, steady when the water's rough
I never doubt you, never worry
two cups on a rail is enough

[Bridge]
Whatever shore we're heading for
I'm glad it's you beside me here
not because the view is prettier
but because you make the leaving easy

[Chorus]
Lily, you're the calm in every crossing
Lily, steady when the water's rough
I never doubt you, never worry
two cups on a rail is enough

[Outro]
Two empty cups still sitting there
and still, somehow, we don't want to leave
