Salt on the Rail
Style: Folk duet

[Verse 1]
Salt spray dries white on the rail
Every crossing leaves its trail
You lean into the wind with me
Steady as the rolling sea

[Pre-chorus]
I've watched the water change its mind
Never once you stayed behind
This is the calm before you're mine

[Chorus]
Ottilie, you're the deck beneath my feet
Ottilie, you're the harbour and the street
Salt and spray and chilly air
I'd cross again just to be there

[Verse 2]
The green rail's cold beneath my hand
You point out where we'll finally land
No map could hold what's built in me
Just you, the wind, the open sea

[Bridge]
Some loves are loud, all noise and show
Ours is quiet, easy, slow
Like salt that dries and just stays put
No need to prove it, no dispute

[Chorus]
Ottilie, you're the deck beneath my feet
Ottilie, you're the harbour and the street
Salt and spray and chilly air
I'd cross again just to be there

[Outro]
The rail still wears its coat of white
You're steady through the roughest night
