Salt and Iron
Style: Soul waltz

[Verse 1]
Salt on the railings, worn but strong
The bench still holds despite the rust
Some things get better the longer they stay
And I have learned that in you I trust

[Pre-chorus]
You never needed to be new
Just steady, just close, just true
That kind of love is hard to find

[Chorus]
Marshall, you're the calm inside the storm
Nothing about us feels partial
You keep me grounded, keep me warm
No love has ever felt this vital

[Verse 2]
The green paint chips but the wood holds firm
Weather has tried and weather has failed
You are the thing that stayed unmoved
When every other comfort paled

[Bridge]
I don't need soft words or perfect scenes
Just you beside me, plain and near
Some loves shout and some loves lean
Ours just stays, year after year

[Chorus]
Marshall, you're the calm inside the storm
Nothing about us feels partial
You keep me grounded, keep me warm
No love has ever felt this vital

[Outro]
The railings hold the salt like skin
And I still hold you, same as then
