Salt on the Rail
Style: Doo wop

[Verse 1]
The railing wears its white like armour
salt has crept in every line
We stood there far from home or harbour
and I knew that you were mine

[Chorus]
Warren, you're the steady one I hold to
Nothing shakes the way you stay
Warren, every road I've travelled told you
you're the port I sail to, come what may

[Verse 2]
The water's grey but you're not distant
Cold outside, but warm in view
I've been reckless, you've been consistent
still and sure in all you do

[Pre-chorus]
I've seen storms take weaker anchors
watched them drift and lose their name
But you don't move, you don't feel foreign

[Chorus]
Warren, you're the steady one I hold to
Nothing shakes the way you stay
Warren, every road I've travelled told you
you're the port I sail to, come what may

[Bridge]
Let the metal rust and gather
Let the tide come, let it go
I'm not asking for much other
than the calm that you bestow

[Chorus]
Warren, you're the steady one I hold to
Nothing shakes the way you stay
Warren, every road I've travelled told you
you're the port I sail to, come what may

[Outro]
The salt stays crusted on the railing
and I stay here, close to you
