Rust on the Rail
Style: Soul waltz

[Verse 1]
The rail out there has gone to rust
salt spray keeps finding what it wants
but nothing wears the way I feared
I trust you more with every gust

[Chorus]
Mira, you're the one thing steady
however hard the wind gets ready
salt can't touch what we've become
Mira, holding on already

[Verse 2]
I thought that love would need protecting
some careful shelter, walls connecting
but you just stood there in the weather
and somehow that felt like affection

[Pre-chorus]
I've watched things rust and fall apart
but you keep beating like a start
of something steady, something true

[Chorus]
Mira, you're the one thing steady
however hard the wind gets ready
salt can't touch what we've become
Mira, holding on already

[Bridge]
Let the spray come, let it try
we've weathered worse and said no goodbye
I'm not asking for a shelter
just for you, standing nearby

[Chorus]
Mira, you're the one thing steady
however hard the wind gets ready
salt can't touch what we've become
Mira, holding on already

[Outro]
That rail's still standing, rust and all
and so are we, and so are we
