Green Railings
Style: Bossa nova

[Verse 1]
I leaned on railings gone to rust
above the waves, all grey with dust
the paint was chipping, cold and worn
but you stood there like something just

[Pre-chorus]
I've watched the water change its face
and still come back to the same place
so let me tell you why I stay

[Chorus]
Nadia, you're the steady part
the railing holding up my heart
paint may flake but bone stays true
Nadia, I'm still here with you

[Verse 2]
The sea below don't stay one way
it turns from silver into grey
but you're the rail that never moved
through every kind of change of day

[Chorus]
Nadia, you're the steady part
the railing holding up my heart
paint may flake but bone stays true
Nadia, I'm still here with you

[Bridge]
Let the paint peel, let it go
I don't need the shine to know
what's underneath was built to last
and that's the part I'm holding close

[Chorus]
Nadia, you're the steady part
the railing holding up my heart
paint may flake but bone stays true
Nadia, I'm still here with you

[Outro]
The waves keep turning, cold and slow
I'm still the rail, still here, still yours
