Bolted to the Pier
Style: Country waltz

[Verse 1]
I found you where the water met the wood
and stayed because I knew I should
salt gets into everything it meets
but you don't rust, you just repeat

[Pre-chorus]
I've seen what wears and what stays true
I've watched the years get hard on you
and still you hold the way you do

[Chorus]
Noelle, you are the bolt that holds the plank
the reason that this love won't sink or bank
the tide can pull all it wants to pull
Noelle, you keep this whole thing full

[Verse 2]
You told me once you don't believe in luck
just what you fix and what you tuck
away for storms you know will come
I believe you, every one

[Pre-chorus]
I've seen what wears and what stays true
I've watched the years get hard on you
and still you hold the way you do

[Chorus]
Noelle, you are the bolt that holds the plank
the reason that this love won't sink or bank
the tide can pull all it wants to pull
Noelle, you keep this whole thing full

[Bridge]
Let the wood go grey, let the water rise
I'm not looking for a better prize
you were never pretty in the plain sense
you were sturdy, you were my defence

[Chorus]
Noelle, you are the bolt that holds the plank
the reason that this love won't sink or bank
the tide can pull all it wants to pull
Noelle, you keep this whole thing full

[Outro]
I'll meet you where the water meets the wood
you're still the reason that it's stood
